A PDF can contain selectable text, scanned pictures, vector drawings, or all three. That matters when you want to reuse its content. Exporting a page as an image preserves its visible layout. Extracting text creates editable words but may lose the layout. Combining photos into a PDF creates a document without automatically making the words searchable.
Export a PDF page as an image
Open PDF to Images, choose a document, and enter a page range. For example, 1-3, 5 exports four pages. Leave the range blank to process the first fifty pages. Exporting a narrow range saves time and memory when you only need one diagram or receipt.
Choose PNG for crisp text and line drawings. Choose JPG when smaller photographic pages matter more than perfectly sharp edges. Render scale controls the number of output pixels. A scale of 2 produces twice the width and height of scale 1, which means roughly four times as many pixels. It does not recover detail that is absent from a scanned source.
The tool caps very large rendered pages to protect browser memory. Results can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP. Check the downloaded page at its intended viewing size before adding it to a presentation or sending it to someone else.
Extract selectable text
Use PDF Text Extractor when you want the words rather than a picture of them. It reads the embedded text layer and puts the selected pages into a plain-text download. It does not run optical character recognition.
If a page is only a scan, the output will say that no embedded text was found. You need a separate OCR workflow for that document. If the text does exist but comes out in an unusual order, the PDF may use multiple columns or individually positioned text fragments. Plain-text extraction does not understand every visual reading order. Tables and columns often need manual cleanup.
Turn images into a PDF
Images to PDF places each selected photo on its own A4 page. Portrait and landscape images use matching page orientations. Move the images into reading order before exporting. Each image is scaled proportionally with a margin, so it is not stretched to fill the page.
Image quality controls JPEG encoding inside the new PDF. Start at 80 percent and inspect small lettering. A receipt that is already blurry will not become readable simply because it is wrapped in a PDF.
Number or watermark an existing PDF
Page numbers help recipients refer to a specific sheet. The numbering tool adds numbers inside the bottom margin, so check for overlap with existing footers. A watermark can label a review copy as DRAFT or SAMPLE, but it is not a security measure and does not prevent editing or copying.
Work on an unsigned copy. Editing a digitally signed PDF invalidates its signature. Password-protected files are not supported by these tools, and the original document remains unchanged when you download an edited copy.
