How does PDF.to convert a Word document to a PSD image?
+
PDF.to lays out each page of your Word exactly as it would print, then renders that page to a PSD image. You get one PSD per page, capturing fonts, layout, tables, and figures as a flat picture.
Why turn a Word into a PSD image?
+
A PSD image of a Word page is universally viewable, cannot be reflowed or accidentally edited, and drops straight into a slide, chat, or web page. It is the simplest way to share a Word as a fixed snapshot.
Will the PSD look exactly like my Word?
+
Yes. The Word is rendered through a real layout engine, so the PSD preserves fonts, spacing, headers, columns, and embedded images pixel-for-pixel as the document would appear when opened.
I have a multi-page Word. What do I get?
+
Each page of the Word becomes its own numbered PSD image, and all of them are zipped together for a single download. A one-page Word returns a single PSD.
What resolution is the PSD image?
+
Pages render at 150 DPI by default, which is crisp on screen and good enough to print. Raise the DPI in the options panel for a higher-resolution PSD when you need to zoom in.
Will the text in the PSD stay selectable?
+
No. A PSD is a raster image, so text becomes pixels and is no longer selectable or searchable. If you need selectable text, convert the Word to PDF or to a PSD document with OCR instead.
