PDF to JPG/PNG — 150MB Local, No Cloud (2026)

Published 2026-05-02

6 min read


Raster vs screenshot

Screenshots inherit monitor DPI and OS chrome. Rasterizing inside the PDF engine preserves typographyHinting and vector lines — mandatory for CAD sheets, posters, and dense slides.

File size reality

Pitch decks can exceed 100 MB. Most SaaS “PDF to JPG” products hard-stop at 10–25 MB. ExactPDF keeps processing on-device — bounded by RAM, not marketing tiers.

Recommended settings

  • PNG for slides with text + flat fills
  • JPEG for photo Annual Reports where ZIP size matters
  • Slide exports: start at 150–200 DPI for social-safe crops
  • Open PDF to Images →

    Frequently asked questions

    Why export PDF pages as PNG instead of screenshotting?

    Screenshots lose pixels and embed OS chrome. Rasterizing inside the PDF engine preserves text anti-aliasing, vector lines, and exact page geometry — critical for slides, CAD sheets, and posters.

    Will this work on a 120-page pitch deck?

    Yes, as long as your device has RAM to hold the PDF + bitmaps. There is no vendor-side file cap — you are limited by physics, not SaaS pricing.

    JPEG or PNG for slides?

    PNG when you need sharp text and solid fills. JPEG when photos dominate and smaller ZIP size matters.
