What "dpi" actually controls here
A PDF page doesn't have a fixed pixel resolution the way a photo does — it's a vector description of where to draw text and shapes at a given physical page size, which can be rendered at any resolution you choose. The dpi (dots per inch) setting is that choice: it tells the renderer how many pixels to produce per inch of the original page. A US Letter page (8.5×11 inches) rendered at 150 dpi comes out roughly 1275×1650 pixels — enough to read comfortably on a screen — while the same page at 300 dpi comes out around 2550×3300 pixels, which is the resolution print shops typically expect for sharp text and fine detail.
Why PNG, not JPG, for rendered pages
A rendered PDF page is mostly sharp text and clean edges — exactly the kind of content JPG's lossy compression handles worst, often producing visible blur or ringing artifacts around letters. PNG's lossless compression keeps every pixel exact, which matters far more for a page of text than it does for a photograph.
Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution should I pick?
150 dpi looks sharp on screens and in presentations. Choose 300 dpi if the images will be printed or zoomed, and 100 dpi when small file size matters most.
Why PNG and not JPG?
PNG is lossless, so text in your pages stays perfectly crisp — JPG compression visibly blurs small text. Need JPGs? Convert the PNGs with our Image Converter.
How do multi-page PDFs download?
As a single ZIP archive containing page-1.png, page-2.png, and so on — one image per page, up to 50 pages.
What does the dpi setting actually change about the output?
A PDF page has no fixed pixel size — dpi tells the renderer how many pixels to produce per inch of the physical page. Doubling dpi roughly doubles both dimensions in pixels, which is why 300 dpi files are noticeably larger than 150 dpi ones for the same page.
Is my PDF stored?
No. Conversion happens in transient server memory and the file is discarded as soon as your download is delivered.
