~/paper-to-pixels

A PDF page has no pixels until you choose a DPI.

PDF pages are measured in inches, not pixels. DPI (dots per inch) decides how many pixels each inch becomes: an A4 page is 8.3 inches wide, so at 150 dpi it becomes 1240 pixels across.

~/two-ways-out

Photograph the page, or pull out the photos?

"PDF to JPG" means two different jobs. Pick the wrong one and you'll either get a picture of a whole page when you wanted the product shot on it, or loose photos when you wanted the page.

Render whole pagesEach page is drawn by pdf.js as it looks on screen (text, vector shapes and photos together) and saved as one image. You choose the resolution.

Extract the images insideEach image object in the PDF is saved on its own at its stored size. JPEGs are copied byte for byte, so they are exactly the original; raw pixel images are saved as PNG. Text and layout are left behind.

~/jpg-or-png

Match the format to what's on the page.

JPG blends neighbouring pixels to save space: perfect for photos, but it leaves faint smudges around sharp black text. PNG keeps every pixel exact, which is ideal for text and diagrams but gets very large with photos.

scienceRender a PDF above and this is measured on its first page: both formats encoded from the same pixels.

descriptionMostly text: contracts, letters, formsFlat white areas compress well in PNG, and JPG leaves faint ringing around black letters.PNG is usually not much bigger herePNG

photoMostly photos: brochures, cataloguesPhotos have no hard edges, so JPG’s blending is invisible and the file is several times smaller.PNG can be 4-6× largerJPG

~/before-and-after

Only need a few pages as images?

Trim the PDF first, shrink the images after, or go the other way entirely.
