Convert each PDF page into a high-resolution image embedded inside a brand-new PDF — perfect for locking down content, hiding redacted text, defeating font-substitution glitches and producing consistent prints from complex source files.

Processing...
Drag a PDF onto the upload zone or pick it from your device. The file is processed locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded to any server.
ZentoPDF renders every page at a configurable resolution (default 200 DPI) on the HTML5 canvas and inserts the resulting image as the only content of a new PDF page.
Click download to get a brand-new image-only PDF. Text is no longer selectable, fonts no longer matter and the file renders identically on every device and printer.
Reduce the file size of your PDF documents while maintaining the best possible quality.
Make form fields and annotations non-editable by flattening them into the PDF.
Convert each PDF page into a JPG image.
Convert each PDF page into a PNG image.
Remove metadata, annotations, scripts, and more.
Rasterizing locks the visual content of a PDF: nothing can be re-edited, copied as text or affected by missing fonts. It is the go-to step before printing complex layouts, finalising redactions, distributing read-only versions or freezing legal/financial documents.
Usually yes — vector PDFs are very compact, while image-based PDFs are bound by image compression. ZentoPDF uses a sensible DPI default and JPEG compression to keep the result reasonable; you can lower the DPI for smaller files when on-screen viewing is the main use case.
No — that is the point. Once a PDF is rasterized, its pages are pure images and the text becomes part of the pixels. If you need selectable text on rasterized pages, run them through our OCR PDF tool afterwards.
No. The whole rasterization happens locally in your browser. Your original PDF and the new image-based PDF never leave your device, which makes the tool safe for legal, medical and confidential documents.
No. Rasterization is destructive (text and vectors are gone forever in the output). Always keep a backup of the original PDF — ZentoPDF never overwrites your source file, but if you discard it you cannot rebuild a vector version from the rasterized output.
