Rendering PDF pages as WebP
Each page is drawn at the resolution you choose and saved as a separate WebP image — one page in, one image out, numbered in order. A single page comes back as one file; several come back as a zip.
Why WebP rather than JPEG
WebP sits between the other two: meaningfully smaller than PNG, noticeably cleaner than JPEG around sharp edges, and supported by every current browser. For pages headed to a website it is usually the best of the three.
What it costs you
Support outside browsers is still uneven. Some older desktop image viewers, a few content management systems and the occasional upload form will refuse a .webp file, which is the one reason to think twice.
Choose WebP when the images are going onto a web page. Choose PNG if they need to open reliably in any piece of software.
Choosing a resolution
DPI decides how many pixels each page becomes. An A4 page at 150 DPI is about 1240×1754 pixels, which is right for reading on screen. At 300 DPI it is 2480×3508 — what print shops expect, and roughly four times the data. Go to 600 DPI only for archival work or when you intend to run OCR afterwards, where the extra resolution genuinely improves character recognition.
Only the pages you need
The pages field takes ranges such as 1-3, 7 or 10-, so you can pull one figure out of a long report without rendering the whole thing. That is worth doing at high DPI, where rendering everything is slow and produces a very large zip.
This photographs the page
Worth being clear about, because it is a common mix-up: this renders each page as it looks, including its layout and white margins. If what you want is the pictures originally embedded in the PDF, at their own resolution and without the surrounding page, Extract images from PDF is the tool for that instead.
Common questions
What DPI should I choose?
150 for screen use, 300 for printing, 600 if you plan to run OCR afterwards. Higher DPI means larger files.
Can I convert only certain pages?
Yes. The pages field accepts ranges like 1-3, 7, 10-.
Why is my zip so large?
Rendering at 300 DPI or above produces big images. Drop to 150 DPI, or choose JPG rather than PNG.
JPG or PNG?
JPG for scans and photos. PNG for text and diagrams, where JPEG leaves fringing around sharp edges.
Does it work on protected PDFs?
Yes, with the password. It opens the file and is never stored.
How do I get the original embedded images instead?
Use Extract images from PDF, which pulls them out at their own resolution rather than photographing the page.
