Useful to know

What the scale slider does

Scale controls the render DPI. 1x = the PDF's native 72 DPI (small files, fast). 2x = 144 DPI (the default, retina-sharp for most use cases). 3x = 216 DPI (very sharp but slower and larger files). For on-screen previews, 1x is fine. For prints, use 2x or 3x. Higher scales use more browser memory; if you hit a memory limit, drop the scale.

JPG vs PNG output

JPG is the right pick for photographic PDF pages - smaller files, no noticeable quality loss. PNG is lossless and better for text-heavy pages, screenshots of UI, or anything with sharp edges and flat colors - JPG can introduce subtle artifacts around text. WEBP is a modern middle ground (smaller than PNG, sharper than JPG) supported in all current browsers. Pick JPG unless you specifically need lossless output.

Custom page ranges

The page range selector accepts 'all', 'first', or 'custom'. Custom takes a range string like '1-3, 5, 8-10' to render just those pages. Useful when you only need one chapter, one figure, or the cover of a long PDF - no need to render the whole document just to grab a few pages.

Privacy

The PDF is parsed and rendered entirely in your browser using Mozilla's PDF.js library. No upload to any server. Encrypted PDFs prompt for the password in the browser; the password decrypts the PDF in memory and never leaves your device. Verify by watching DevTools Network tab during render or by going offline after the page loads.

Per-page download vs ZIP

After rendering, each page appears as a thumbnail with a green download button - tap one to grab just that page. The 'Download ZIP' button bundles all rendered pages into a single archive. For 1-3 pages, per-page download is usually quicker; for longer page ranges, the ZIP is the right call.

PDF to PNG online with ImgShifter

This converter renders every page of a PDF to a PNG image, which is the format to reach for whenever a page is mostly text, line art, tables, or UI. PNG is lossless, so it reproduces sharp black-on-white edges with no JPEG halo or ringing - the kind of fuzz that shows up around crisp type when you save those pages as JPG. Mozilla's PDF.js does the rendering; export pages one by one or grab the whole set as a ZIP.

The trade-off for that fidelity is file size: PNG pages are larger than the JPG equivalent, which is a fair deal when legibility matters more than bytes. Push the scale slider up for documents you'll print or zoom into - 1x is the native 72 DPI, 2x the retina-sharp default, 3x for 216 DPI. The page-range selector takes 'all', 'first', or a custom list like '1-3, 5, 8-10' so you can lift exactly the pages you need.

It's fully browser-side. The PDF is parsed and rastered in memory by PDF.js, encrypted files prompt for a password that's used to decrypt locally, and the PNGs download straight to your device - no upload at any step. Verify in the DevTools Network tab or by disconnecting after the page loads. No account, no signup, no watermark.
