How to use PDF to PNG
Choose a PDF, type the pages you want or leave "all", pick a resolution and press Convert to PNG. Download the PNG, or the ZIP when you converted several pages.
PNG or JPG?
PNG is lossless, so text, lines and diagrams stay crisp with no blurry edges, which suits slides, documentation and screenshots of forms. The price is size: a text page as PNG is often two to four times larger than as JPG. For photos and scanned pages where file size matters, PDF to JPG is the better choice.
Picking a resolution
Standard renders at 144 dpi, enough for screens, chats and slides. High renders at 216 dpi for printing or zooming into small print, and makes each image roughly twice as large.
How it works
Each page is rendered to a canvas and saved as a lossless PNG
Examples
- Worked example
Convert pages 1-3 of a PDF to PNG at 144 dpi and download them as a ZIP.
Limitations and assumptions
Up to 50 pages per run. PNG files are larger than JPG; several pages download as a ZIP. Encrypted PDFs need unlocking first.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert one page of a PDF to PNG?
Yes. Type the page number, for example 3, and you get a single PNG of that page.
Is the background transparent?
No. Pages are drawn on white, the way they look in a PDF viewer, so the PNG prints and displays the same everywhere.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Pages are drawn inside your browser tab and the images are created on your device.
