PDF Page & Image Resolution Checker

Inspect PDF page count, page dimensions, orientation, and embedded raster image dimensions.

How to use

  1. Choose a PDF to inspect its embedded images.
  2. Run and inspect page numbers and image pixel dimensions.
  3. Check placement size separately before judging print density.

File contents and names are not stored or uploaded.

PDFs: about 41.9 MB and 100 pages per file. Image extraction: 24 MP each, about 100.7 MB total output. Page and image dimension inspection does not decode images.

Purpose and use

Check an incoming PDF’s page count, orientations, mixed page sizes, and embedded image dimensions.

Example

A 595.28×841.89 point page is approximately 210×297 mm. An embedded 2000×1000 px image is reported with those pixel dimensions.

Interpreting the result

Pixel dimensions alone do not determine print density. Placement size is required, so this version does not estimate effective PPI.

Limits and caveats

This is not a replacement for Acrobat Preflight. It does not validate bleed, spot colors, PDF/X compliance, or font embedding.

Related workflow

When the intended print dimensions are known, use Print Size & PPI Calculator to check image density.

Try a use case and check the result

Inspect physical page dimensions separately from raster-resource pixel dimensions.

Example buttons replace the inputs and settings above and calculate. Restore previous input steps back one example at a time. After trying multiple examples, repeat restore to return to your original input. This history is lost when the page closes.

A PDF with landscape and portrait pages

Input and settings

Two pages: 144×72 pt and 72×144 pt, containing 2×1 px and 1×1 px images.

Expected result

Two pages, two distinct sizes: 50.80×25.40 mm and 25.40×50.80 mm. Image dimensions: 2×1 px and 1×1 px.

A one-inch square without raster resources

Input and settings

One 72×72 pt page containing text and vector fills only.

Expected result

One page and one size, 25.40×25.40 mm, with no image-dimension entries. Orientation is shown as Square.

How to read the result

72 PDF points equal one inch. Pixel dimensions alone do not determine print density; physical placement size is also needed. This tool does not calculate effective PPI.

Scope and limits

One PDF up to 40 MiB and 100 pages. Page resources can include unused images. Inline images and effective PPI are not reported. For rotated or unusual page boxes, compare the reported dimensions with the original PDF.

Independently calculate 144÷72×25.4=50.8 mm and compare resource dimensions with the known PNGs.

Frequently asked questions

Will this change the original file?

No. Downloads are separate files. Closing the page discards the loaded content and results.

Does pixel size also give effective PPI?

Effective PPI also requires placement size. This version reports image pixel dimensions and does not estimate effective PPI.

Does it validate PDF/X or bleed settings?

It is not a replacement for Acrobat Preflight. Bleed, spot colors, PDF/X compliance and font embedding are not validated.

Inputs and storage

Keep any content you need before clearing. This tool does not autosave inputs or results. Reloading or closing the page, clearing inputs or resetting may discard your work.

Favorites and language preferences are stored separately and may be lost when site data is cleared. Tool resets and site-data deletion do not delete files already downloaded to your device.
