Frequently asked questions

Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. Rendering happens entirely in your browser — your PDF never leaves your device.
Why WebP?
WebP produces noticeably smaller files than JPG or PNG at similar quality, which is ideal for the web. Modern browsers all display it.
Which resolution should I pick?
150 DPI suits most on-screen and document use. Choose 300 DPI for printing, or 72 DPI for small, screen-only images.

The most compact page images

WebP is a modern image format that packs the same visual quality as JPG or PNG into a noticeably smaller file — perfect when you're putting PDF pages on a website and care about load speed. PDF to WebP renders each page of your file to a WebP image right in the browser, then hands them all back as individual downloads or one ZIP for the whole document.

Choosing resolution

Resolution (DPI) controls how detailed and how large each image is. 72 DPI produces small, screen-friendly images; 150 DPI is a sensible default; 300 DPI is print quality. WebP keeps files small even at higher DPI, but larger images still take longer to render.

Notes and limits

Rendering runs in a background worker, so even a long PDF won't freeze the tab. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first. Every page is rendered locally, so nothing about your document is uploaded.

Why file size compounds on the web

A single PDF page rendered as an image and embedded on a webpage adds to that page's total load weight, and load weight affects how fast a site feels and how it ranks. WebP typically shaves 25–35% off an equivalent JPG at the same visual quality, which is a meaningful saving if you're publishing scanned documents, brochures, or reports as web images rather than linking to the PDF itself.

Compatibility is no longer a real concern

WebP used to need a fallback for older browsers, but every modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — displays it natively now, so you can use it as a direct replacement for JPG or PNG in most web contexts without extra tooling.

Where it's less useful

WebP isn't a great fit outside the browser — many desktop image viewers, office apps, and print workflows still expect JPG, PNG, or TIFF. If the images are headed anywhere other than a website or app, one of the other page-image tools is a safer bet.

Bringing pages back together

To turn a folder of converted WebP pages back into a single document, use WebP to PDF — each image becomes a page again in the order you arrange them.
