A Safe Way to Convert PDFs to Images Without Sending Them Out
Key points
- Online conversion often uploads your file
- Converting on your device keeps it local
- On shared computers, delete the images after use
Even when converting to images, you may handle documents with personal information, such as certificates and résumés.
Caveats of online conversion
Upload-type services send your document to a server. Retention and deletion differ by service and are hard for users to verify.
Converting on your device
This site converts inside the browser. The PDF is not sent anywhere, and no registration is needed.
Good habits
- Delete converted images when you no longer need them
- On shared computers, delete saved images after use
- When sharing images by social media or email, recheck what they show and who receives them
To verify
On a computer, watch the browser developer tools "Network" tab while converting; you will see no requests carrying the file.
