Convert your PDF to AI image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a PDF (Portable Document Format) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the AI (Adobe Illustrator) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple PDF image files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.
Along with converting PDF image files to AI, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available by selecting the Options button. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single PDF file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.
This option can be used to rotate the image in 90° increments.
When selected, this option will flip the image vertically.
When selected, this option will mirror the image horizontally.
When checked, this will apply a black and white filter to the image, turning any color image into a black and white image.
When checked, this will apply a negative filter to the image, inverting all the colors within the image.
Add a sepia effect to your image using this option. The intensity can be adjusted using the slider control.

The PDF format is a widely used document format containing text, images, and other 2D content in a read-only format. The format was introduced in 1992 by Adobe as a royalty-free format and is largely based on the earlier PostScript file format, with some of its scripting features later removed.
PDF files can contain rasterized images and vector graphics, which can optionally be compressed and encrypted for successful transmission. The format has evolved over the years to include features such as layers, metadata, accessibility features, and interactive forms.

The AI file format, or Adobe Illustrator Artwork, to give it its full name, has been around since 1987. Developed by Adobe, the AI file is a vector-based image format initially created to encompass the EPS and PDF formats.
The format has continued to be improved since its initial release and is widely supported today by many well-known vector-based graphics programs, such as CorelDRAW and Paint Shop Pro.

Yes, of course! We do not store the PDF file you submit to us. The resulting AI file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
