Frequently asked questions
What does DPI mean?
DPI (dots per inch) controls image resolution. Higher DPI = more detail and larger file size.
Will text stay selectable after converting to JPG?
No. JPG output is an image; text is no longer selectable.
Can I convert only one page?
Exporting usually converts all pages. If you only need one page, extract that page first, then convert.
