How to Rasterize PDF – Step by Step

Learn how to rasterize PDF pages at specified DPI online for free.


Convert vector PDF content into pixel-based images at your chosen DPI. The Rasterize PDF tool is essential for preparing PDFs for printing, archiving, or compatibility with image editors.

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the Rasterize PDF page.

Upload your PDF.

Choose DPI: Screen (72 DPI) for on-screen viewing, Low (150 DPI) for drafts, Medium (200 DPI) for documents, High (300 DPI) for print quality, or Print (600 DPI) for high-resolution output.

Select quality level and click Rasterize.

Download your rasterized PDF.

Tips for Best Results

  • 300 DPI is the standard for high-quality printing — use this for final output.
  • Screen (72 DPI) creates smaller files suitable for email and web preview.
  • Rasterizing removes all vector information — text won't be selectable after conversion.
