Choosing the Size When Converting PDF to Images: Small, Normal or Large
Key points
- Larger gives crisper text but bigger files
- Try "Normal" first; use "Large" if hard to read
- For sending or posting, "Small" is often enough
The three sizes
- Small: small files; for viewing on a phone or sending in chat
- Normal: suits most purposes; text is readable
- Large: high resolution with crisp small text; for printing or zooming in
How to choose
- Convert with "Normal" first.
- If text is hard to read, convert again with "Large".
- If there's a size limit, try "Small".
With many pages
"Large" takes time and memory with many pages. Narrow it to the pages you need before converting.
Checking
Zoom in on the saved images and check small text and numbers are readable.
