Why would I rasterize a PDF?

Rasterizing ensures the PDF looks identical on every device and printer by converting vector elements to images. This eliminates font substitution, transparency bugs, and rendering inconsistencies.

Will rasterizing increase the file size?

It depends on the DPI setting. At 150 DPI, file sizes are usually comparable to the original. At 300 or 600 DPI, files will be larger but offer sharper output for printing.

Can I still select or search text after rasterizing?

No, rasterized pages are images. If you need searchable text, apply OCR to the rasterized PDF afterward using our OCR tool.
