❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does browser-based conversion actually work?
A: When you load our tool, it installs a micro-runtime environment (WebAssembly) that processes your PDF locally. The PDF.js engine renders each page on an invisible canvas element, which is then converted to JPG format using browser-native encoding. This all happens in your device’s temporary memory without any external data transfer.
Q2: What’s the maximum PDF size I can convert?
A: Technically, there’s no fixed limit – we’ve successfully tested 300+ page documents. Practical limitations depend on your device’s RAM capacity:
Smartphones: Up to 50 pages comfortably
Tablets: 100+ pages
Modern Computers: 250+ pages
For gigantic files, we recommend splitting into sections using free tools like PDFsam Basic before conversion.
Q3: Why can’t I convert scanned PDFs?
A: Scanned PDFs are essentially image containers rather than true documents. While our tool can process them, text quality depends on original scan resolution. For OCR conversion to searchable JPGs, we recommend specialized tools like Adobe Scan before using our converter.
Q4: Will the conversion preserve hyperlinks and annotations?
A: JPG is a static image format, so interactive elements won’t be preserved. However, the visual representation of links (underlined text) and annotations (highlighted sections) will appear exactly as in the original PDF. For interactive conversions, consider PNG format with dedicated annotation tools.
Q5: How does your quality slider affect output?
A: The slider adjusts the JPG compression ratio:
1-3: Aggressive compression (60-80% size reduction)
4-6: Balanced approach (40-50% reduction)
7-8: Minimal compression (20-30% reduction)
9-10: Near-lossless (5-15% reduction)
For text documents, 7-8 provides optimal clarity. For photos, 9-10 is recommended.
Q6: Can I automate batch conversions?
A: While our web interface is manual, developers can access our open-source engine on GitHub to build automated solutions. For personal batch processing, consider browser automation tools like Selenium to trigger multiple conversions.
Q7: Why do some complex graphics appear pixelated?
A: This occurs when PDFs contain vector graphics at extremely high resolutions. Our tool defaults to 144 DPI for balance. For engineering diagrams or architectural plans:
1. Use quality setting 10
2. Zoom PDF to 100% before conversion
3. Consider professional vector-to-raster tools for specialty work
Q8: What security certifications does the tool have?
A: While not formally certified, our architecture follows NIST SP 800-171 standards:
Data isolation in sandboxed browser environment
Memory encryption during processing
Third-party penetration tested quarterly
Open-source code audit trail on GitHub
Q9: Can I convert PDF portfolios or multi-media PDFs?
A: Our tool extracts only the visual representation. Embedded videos, 3D models, or portfolio structures will convert as static images showing their placeholder appearance. For complex multimedia extraction, consider specialized commercial solutions.
