## How to use it
1. **Add the PDF.** Drop one or more PDFs onto PDF to Images.
2. **Pick a format.** In the right-hand panel, choose PNG or JPEG.
3. **Pick a resolution.** Choose 72, 150 or 300 dpi, depending on whether the images are for the screen or for printing.
4. **Export.** Click Export. Every page is saved as its own image, named after the PDF with “page 1”, “page 2” and so on.
5. **Open the images.** Find them in a dated folder in Downloads › OneMacTools, or use the Preview (eye) button or Show in Finder.

## Options
- **Format:** PNG (the default) keeps text, lines and diagrams crisp. JPEG makes smaller files and suits pages that are mostly photos.
- **Resolution:** 72 dpi, 150 dpi (the default) or 300 dpi. 150 dpi suits screens and slides, 300 dpi suits printing, and 72 dpi makes small previews.

## Tips
- Use 300 dpi and PNG when you need to zoom in on small print, such as a page you'll upload to a form that asks for a clear image.
- Use JPEG at 150 dpi for photo-heavy pages you'll share in a chat or on social media; the files are much smaller.
- To get one page rather than all of them, first take it out with Extract PDF Pages, then convert that.
- If you want the pictures inside the PDF rather than pictures of the pages, use Extract Images from PDF.
