PDF to Long Image Converter

This page turns a PDF into one tall picture. Add your PDF, pick the pages, and press Convert. The pages are placed one under the other, in order, with a small gap between them, and saved as a single image you can scroll from top to bottom.

Converting a PDF to one long image is the easy way to share a whole document where only pictures work: a chat, a social post, a Notion page, a Slack thread or a website. People see every page in one place, without opening a PDF viewer or swiping through ten separate files.

Everything happens in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark. You choose the format (JPG, PNG or WebP), the resolution, the pages, and whether the result is in colour, grayscale or black and white.

A good PDF to long image converter should do one thing well: keep every page readable while putting them all in one file. This one draws each page at the resolution you choose, places the pages in a single column and saves the result as one picture. The order follows the page numbers you selected, so page 1 is always at the top.

All pages are drawn at the same scale. If your PDF mixes page sizes, for example a wide landscape table between portrait pages, the image becomes as wide as the widest page and narrower pages are centred, with blank space at the sides. Nothing is stretched or cropped, so text keeps its shape.

The tool runs on your own computer or phone. It uses the same open-source PDF engine that the Firefox browser uses to show PDFs, then your browser saves the picture. There is no queue and no server wait; a short document usually takes a second or two.

When you convert PDF to single image files on this page, you get exactly one picture per PDF. A 12-page report becomes one tall JPG with all 12 pages, not 12 separate files. The file name tells you which pages are inside, for example report-pages-1-12.jpg.

The You will get box next to the settings confirms this before you start. It says how many selected pages go into the one image and which format it will be. If you select just one page, you simply get that page as a normal image, because there is nothing to join.

If you would rather have a separate image for every page, open More options and switch off Join the selected pages into one long image. You then get one picture per page in a ZIP, the same as our PDF to JPG tool.

Here is what happens to the pages in more detail. The tool measures every selected page and adds them up into one tall canvas. Between two pages it leaves a small gap of 12 points, about 4 mm, so you can still see where one page ends and the next begins. At 150 DPI that gap is 25 pixels.

The gap and the space around narrower pages are white for JPG. For PNG and WebP you can set the background to Transparent in More options, so only the page content is visible and the gaps are see-through. That is handy when you place the picture on a coloured slide or web page.

A PDF to long JPG is the best choice for sharing. JPG files are small, open on every phone and computer, and every chat app and website accepts them. Text from a PDF stays clear at the default quality of 92%, which looks the same as the page to the eye.

If the file is too big for an upload form or a chat, open More options and move the JPG quality slider down to 80% or 70%. You can also pick a size limit such as Under 500 KB. The tool then lowers the quality step by step and, if that is not enough, makes the picture smaller until it fits. A long image holds many pages, so a tight limit like Under 100 KB can make small text hard to read.

Choose PDF to long PNG when you want the sharpest possible text and lines. PNG is lossless, so letters, thin lines, charts and diagrams keep crisp edges with no blur around them. It is a good fit for documentation, code listings, spreadsheets and anything you might zoom into.

The trade-off is size. A long PNG with many pages can be several times larger than the same image as JPG, especially when the pages contain photos. PNG is also the format for a transparent background. Note that PNG cannot be squeezed to a size limit; if you set one, the image is saved as JPG instead, and transparency is only kept when no size limit is set.

WebP is the third option. It usually gives smaller files than JPG at the same quality and supports transparency too. Most modern browsers and apps open WebP, but some older programs and upload forms still do not, so JPG is the safer choice when you are not sure.

You can merge PDF pages into one image with full control over which pages go in. Tap Choose pages next to the file name to see a thumbnail of every page. Tick and untick pages, use the quick buttons for all, none, odd, even or the first page, or type a range such as 1-3, 6, 9-end.

The pages are always joined in page order, from the lowest number to the highest. If you need a different order, or pages from two PDFs in one picture, combine them first with Merge PDF, arrange them there, and then make the long image from the merged file. To keep only part of a large file, Split PDF can cut it into smaller documents first.

On an iPhone or iPad the area limit is lower, so about 7 pages fit at 150 DPI and 10 pages come out at roughly 128 DPI. From around 20 pages the height limit is the same everywhere, so phones and computers give the same result.

The rule of thumb is simple: the more pages in one image, the lower the resolution of each page. To keep text sharp, put fewer pages in each image. For a 30-page document, three images of 10 pages each are far easier to read than one image of 30 pages. A higher DPI setting does not help once the limit is reached; the tool already uses the most the browser allows.

A PDF to long screenshot looks like a full-page scrolling screenshot, but it is cleaner. A screenshot of a PDF viewer captures the toolbar, the zoom level of your screen and the grey space around the pages. This tool draws the pages themselves, at a resolution you choose, so there are no menus, scroll bars or blurry edges.

It is also more reliable. Scrolling screenshots on phones often stop early, repeat a strip of the page or miss the last part. Here every selected page is included exactly once, and the result has the same width all the way down. If you only need part of the picture afterwards, Crop Image can cut out one section.

A PDF to vertical image conversion suits anything people read by scrolling down: comics, manga and webtoon-style strips exported as PDF, a recipe, a menu, a step-by-step guide, a thread of slides or a short report. The reader just keeps scrolling, the way they read a feed.

For a LinkedIn or Instagram style carousel saved as a PDF, a long image lets you share all the slides as one picture in a chat or on a page. Keep in mind that many social apps show pictures in a fixed frame and crop or shrink a very tall image in the feed. Long images work best where people can open the picture full size and scroll, such as chats, Notion, Slack, blogs and websites.

Many platforms also limit how tall one uploaded image can be. If a site rejects your picture, make two or three long images from page ranges, for example pages 1-10 and 11-20, and post them in order.

This PDF to long image online free tool works in the browser on an iPhone, iPad or Android phone, with no app to install. Open the page in Safari or Chrome, tap Select PDF file and pick the PDF from Files, Google Drive, your downloads or a document someone sent you in a chat.

Choose the pages, tap Convert, then tap Share to send the picture straight to WhatsApp, Telegram, Messages or email, or save it to your photos. Phones have less memory for pictures than computers, and an iPhone or iPad allows a smaller image area than a desktop browser. On a phone the tool may therefore use a lower resolution for a long document, and it tells you when it does.

This PDF to long image free tool has no daily limit, no account and no watermark on the result. You can convert as many documents as you like, one after another or several at once. The image you download is exactly what was drawn, with nothing added to it.

It is free because the work happens in your browser rather than on a paid server. That also means your PDF stays on your device. The only limits are the ones your browser sets: a PDF can be up to 300 MB, you can add up to 50 PDFs at a time, and together they can be up to 1 GB.

You can add several PDFs at once by selecting or dropping them together. With joining switched on, each PDF becomes its own long image; pages from different files are never mixed. When there is more than one image, they come together in one ZIP, with a folder for each PDF.

Every PDF can have its own page selection. Tap Choose pages on each file to pick the pages for that image. To put pages from different PDFs into one picture, join the files first with Merge PDF and then convert the merged file here.

Your PDF is not uploaded. Opening the file, drawing the pages, stacking them and saving the image all happen in your browser, on your own device. That matters for contracts, bank statements, medical letters and ID documents, which are often exactly the files people want to share as one picture.

If the PDF has an open password, the tool asks for it and opens the file in your browser; the password does not leave your device either. Some privacy browsers block saving pictures drawn by a page, as a defence against tracking. If that happens, the tool tells you, and allowing this site in the browser settings fixes it.

Use 150 DPI for anything people will read on a screen. It is sharp on phones and laptops and keeps the file small. Go up to 300 DPI only for a few pages you want to print or zoom into.

Keep each long image to about ten pages or fewer. Beyond that the resolution must drop, and small print gets hard to read. Several shorter images are better than one image nobody can read.

Pick only the pages that matter. Cover pages, blank pages and long appendices make the image taller without adding anything for the reader.

For text-only documents, try Black & white. It makes scanned pages cleaner and the file much smaller. For photos and charts, stay with Colour.

If you need each page on its own as well, switch off joining and convert again; your other settings stay the same.

Once you have your long picture, Compress Image can make it smaller for email and slow connections, and Crop Image can cut out one part, such as a single table or signature. To add more pictures under or next to it, Merge Images stacks several images into one.

If you need every page as a separate file instead, use PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG. To go the other way and turn pictures back into a document, JPG to PDF puts them into a PDF in seconds.
