About the PDF to Images Tool
Sometimes you need PDF content in image form — for embedding in a presentation, posting on social media, previewing a document without a PDF reader, or extracting a diagram. ChopFile converts each page of your PDF into a PNG or JPEG image, entirely in your browser.
Common use cases
- Slide decks — convert a PDF presentation into individual slide images for use in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides.
- Social media — share a report, certificate, or announcement as an image rather than a downloadable file.
- Thumbnails and previews — generate cover images for documents you list on a website.
- Extracting diagrams — pull a specific page with a chart or figure from a larger PDF and use it as a standalone image.
- OCR preparation — convert pages to images before running optical character recognition on documents with embedded text that can't be copied.
PNG vs JPEG
PNG produces lossless images that preserve text sharpness and fine detail — the best choice for documents, spreadsheets, and anything with text. JPEG produces smaller files but uses lossy compression, making it better suited for photographic pages where file size matters more than pixel-perfect text. For most PDF pages, PNG is the recommended format.
How it works
ChopFile uses PDF.js, Mozilla's open-source PDF rendering engine, to draw each PDF page onto an HTML canvas element at high resolution. The canvas is then exported as a PNG or JPEG image. Everything runs locally — your PDF is never uploaded.
