Drop the PDF in
Up to 100 MB. It is read by the page and never sent anywhere. A password protected file has to be unlocked first.

Choose a scale
A PDF point is 1/72 inch, so 1x is screen size, 2x reads well, and 3x is for printing or for running text recognition afterwards. The pixel size per page is shown as you change it.

Take the pages as they finish
Each page gets a download link the moment it is drawn, rather than after the whole document.
FAQ
- Is my PDF uploaded?
- No. The rendering happens in your browser and no request carries the document. Watch the network panel while it runs.
- Why PNG?
- PNG is lossless, so text edges stay sharp. It is the right choice for a page you will read, run OCR on, or print.
- Which scale should I pick?
- Screen at 1x, comfortable reading at 2x, printing or text recognition at 3x. A very large drawing is scaled down a little automatically, because a canvas that fails to allocate returns a blank image rather than an error.
- Can I get a zip?
- No, one link per page. A zip is another format to build and explain, and for a two page document it is worse than two links.
- Is there a page limit?
- No. Pages are drawn and handed over one at a time, so memory does not grow with the length of the document and you do not wait for the last page to get the first.
