Frequently asked questions
- What DPI should I use for PDF to image conversion?
- 72 DPI for web display (smallest files), 150 DPI for general use, 300 DPI for print quality. Higher DPI means larger files but sharper text and graphics.
- Can I convert just one page from a PDF?
- Yes. Specify the page number or range (e.g., pages 1-3) to convert only the pages you need. You do not have to convert the entire document.
- Does the conversion preserve text quality?
- Yes. Text in the PDF is rendered at the DPI you specify, so at 300 DPI the text is sharp and crisp. It is rendered as pixels though, not selectable text, since the output is an image.
