PDF-to-image conversion can look blurry if settings are too aggressive. The key is balancing clarity and size.

Recommended defaults

  • Render scale: 2.0 for most documents
  • JPEG quality: 0.9 to 0.95 for readable text

Use-case presets

Social/media previews

Use lower quality and smaller dimensions.

Documentation archives

Use higher quality and keep readable typography.

Print workflows

Use higher scale and preserve details, especially for charts and signatures.

Tip

If text edges look soft, increase render scale before increasing JPEG quality. Scale impacts sharpness more directly.
