A PDF measures its pages in points, 72 to the inch, so at 72 DPI a US Letter page comes out at its own size, 612 × 792 pixels. 150 DPI gives 1275 × 1650, clear on screen and in slides. 300 DPI gives 2550 × 3300, enough to print the page at full size.

A page is drawn as big as the browser allows, about 16.7 million pixels, so a poster-sized page may come out below the DPI you picked.

JPG files are small, so pages are easy to post, send, or attach where a form only takes images. Each page is saved at high quality, 92 out of 100, which keeps text readable.

For pages that are mostly text and lines, PNG keeps every edge crisp; switch the format above the button. Either way, pages come out on white, as they print.

pdftoppm, part of Poppler, does the same from the command line. -r sets the resolution, 150 DPI if left out, and -f and -l pick the first and last page. It writes a JPG for each page, named page- and the page number:

• pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 input.pdf page
• pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 -f 2 -l 4 input.pdf page

On a Mac, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Export, pick JPEG and set the resolution. Preview saves the page that's showing, one page at a time.

No. The pages are drawn and saved in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Yes. Type its number under Pages, or a list like 1-3, 8. Leave it empty for every page.

JPG compresses each page a little. At 150 or 300 DPI and high quality, text stays readable; pick PNG to keep every pixel.

150 DPI for screens and slides, 300 DPI to print. 72 DPI keeps the page at its own size.

Not one that asks for a password to open. A PDF that only restricts printing or copying opens normally.

Up to 50 at a time. For a longer PDF, enter the next pages, such as 51-100, and convert again.
