Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about converting PDFs to images with CedarPDF.
Is my data safe from AI scrapers and cloud training models?
Absolutely. In the era of AI, many online tools upload your files to cloud servers, where they risk being scraped, indexed, or used to train machine learning models. CedarPDF is different: we process everything 100% locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete zero-knowledge privacy.
How do I know you aren't uploading my files?
You can verify this yourself! Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and go to the 'Network' tab while using CedarPDF. You will see zero POST requests or file uploads. All processing happens locally in your browser's JavaScript engine.
What's the difference between JPG, PNG, and WebP?
JPG: Best for photographs, presentations, and general web use. Uses lossy compression for smaller file sizes with good visual quality. Ideal when file size matters more than perfect detail.
PNG: Best for text documents, diagrams, screenshots, and images requiring transparency. Uses lossless compression to preserve every detail. Ideal for professional documents and archival purposes.
WebP: A modern format developed by Google that offers superior compression—typically 25-35% smaller than JPG or PNG at equivalent quality. Supported by all modern browsers. Ideal when you want the best balance of quality and file size.
What DPI should I choose?
72 DPI: Screen/Mobile quality. Smallest file size, perfect for web sharing, email attachments, or viewing on phones and tablets.
150 DPI: Web/Computer quality (recommended default). Balanced file size and clarity, ideal for viewing on desktop monitors or printing small documents.
300 DPI: Print quality. High resolution suitable for professional printing, archival storage, or when maximum detail is required.
600 DPI: Maximum quality. Largest file size, intended for professional printing, detailed technical drawings, or when every pixel matters.
Tip: Higher DPI = larger file size. Choose the lowest DPI that meets your quality needs.
Can I convert specific pages only?
Yes! You have full control over which pages to convert:
- Click individual page thumbnails to select/deselect them
- Use the "Select All" / "Clear" buttons for quick actions
- Enter page ranges in the input box (e.g., "1, 3-5, 10" or "2-8")
Only your selected pages will be converted, saving time and storage space.
