Convert PDF to Image

Converting PDF to image formats comes in handy in very specific situations. The PDF format is great for storing and sharing documents, yet if you do not have the proper protection, the content of those documents can be modified at will. If you convert a PDF to JPEG, let's say, the recipient can only view the documents, but have no power in altering them. Printing is also a process that deals better with image formats than PDFs.

No matter the reason you're looking to convert your documents, Convert PDF to Image can take care of the task. This straightforward application lets you output your PDF to close to a dozen image formats, and it can also do it in batches.

At first sight, the layout might seem a bit cluttered and hard to go around. Maybe that's due to its vintage design, as this application has seen some winters. If you spend a couple of minutes figuring things out, however, you'll change your opinion on that.

You can start loading your files or folders from under the input section. Moving down a notch, the output settings let you choose both the format and the directory where the results are going to be generated. As soon as you have these details wrapped up, you can click the Convert button located on the app's ribbon.

Image formats have different pros and cons, and their behavior can surely differ when a PDF is converted to such format. The choices you have when outputting the PDFs are JPEG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, EMF, J2K, PCX, PNG, RAS, TGA, and WMF.

For those who like to go under the hood and tinker with all available settings. What one can do from the Options menu is not much, but it can come in handy. The General area lets you convert specific pages from a complex document, and choose the output image quality and resolution, as well as width and height.

You have the possibility to keep the original file types of the input files, skit already processed files or move the input items to a new location or simply delete them. One can also choose to generate logs in TXT format if necessary.

Convert PDF to Image might not be a top-notch converter, but it's surely better than an online tool, and it works. The available formats should be enough to cover most users needs, and the few teaks it provides could come in handy or not.
