What this tool does
Some platforms won't take a PDF, but they'll take images. Some people just want the pages, not the document. That's what this tool is for: pick a PDF, pick which pages, and get one neat ZIP back. Inside you'll find one image per page, named with your chosen prefix plus a zero-padded number (page-01, page-02…), so they sort in page order everywhere.
Why convert PDF to ZIP?
Beat upload limits — forms and chat apps that reject PDFs usually accept images. Share single pages — send page 4 in a message instead of the whole document. Make thumbnails — page images are the fastest way to preview or catalogue a document. One download, not twenty — browsers only allow one download per click, so the ZIP bundles everything into a single file instead of twenty separate saves. No software needed — no Acrobat, no command line, no installs.
How to convert PDF to ZIP
- Choose a PDF — it stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
- Pick PNG or JPG, a resolution (150, 200, or 300 DPI), the pages to include (e.g. “1-3, 5”, or leave it on “all”), and a filename prefix.
- Click “Convert to ZIP”, watch the per-page progress, then download the single ZIP file.
DPI and quality guidance
PNG or JPG? Choose JPG for photos and scans — much smaller files, and quality is excellent at 150 DPI and above. Choose PNG when you need pixel-perfect text, sharp lines, or crisp diagrams; PNG files are larger but lossless. 150 DPI is the default and the sweet spot for sharing — sharp on screen without a bloated ZIP. 200 DPI gives crisper close-ups for slides and docs. 300 DPI is print quality — use it when the images will be printed or zoomed closely. Every DPI step roughly quadruples the pixel count, so a 300 DPI ZIP can be many times larger than the same PDF at 150 DPI.
Private by design
The entire conversion — PDF parsing, page rendering, image encoding, and ZIP packaging — runs in your browser with JavaScript. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, stored anywhere, or seen by anyone. That makes this safe for contracts, invoices, medical records, and anything else you'd rather not hand to a stranger's server. Other converters upload your file first and delete it “later”; this one never gets it in the first place.
