How to use PDF to PNG

  1. 1

    Add the PDF

    Drop a single PDF of up to 50 MB. PNG is already chosen as the format, and every page shows up as a selected thumbnail.

  2. 2

    Leave out pages you don't need

    Click a thumbnail to deselect it, or type the pages you want, for example 2, 4-6, into the Pages to convert box.

  3. 3

    Set the resolution

    72 DPI suits web thumbnails, 150 DPI is right for documents and slides, and 300 DPI keeps fine print readable when zoomed or printed.

  4. 4

    Save the PNG files

    Press Convert to PNG. A one-page PDF downloads as a single image; longer documents also offer a ZIP with one PNG per page.

Limits and Pro

One PDF of up to 50 MB, up to 200 pages per conversion, from 36 to 600 DPI.

Pro handles PDFs of up to 4 GB and up to 5,000 pages in one conversion. See Pro

About PDF to PNG

PNG is a lossless format, so a page saved this way keeps every pixel exactly as PDF.js drew it: small type, hairline rules, table borders and chart labels stay crisp, with none of the fuzzy halos JPEG compression leaves around dark text on a light background. That makes PNG the better choice when the picture of a page goes into a presentation, a wiki, a design file or a bug report, or when it will be cropped and edited later, since re-saving a PNG doesn't wear it down.

The price is size. A page of plain text at 150 DPI usually fits in a few hundred kilobytes, but a scanned page or one covered with photos can be five to ten times larger than the same page as JPG; for those, switch the format to JPG or WebP. Each page is painted on a white background, so the PNG has no transparent areas even if the PDF page itself had none drawn. Pixel size follows the DPI: an A4 page at 300 DPI comes out at about 2480 × 3508 pixels, and the longest side is capped at 12,000 pixels.

The PNGs are pictures of the pages. Their text can't be selected or searched, and links and form fields are flattened into the image. If you only need the photos that are inside the PDF, extracting the embedded images keeps them at their own resolution instead of re-drawing the whole page.

Privacy

Rendering happens in this browser tab: PDF.js reads the PDF in a Web Worker, draws each page on a canvas, and your browser's PNG encoder writes the file. No page or image is sent to a server. A few PDFs make PDF.js load generic font data from the jsDelivr CDN, which contains nothing from your document.

PDF to PNG: frequently asked questions

Is PNG better than JPG for PDF pages?
For pages that are mostly text, tables, diagrams or line drawings, yes: PNG is lossless, so letters stay sharp and flat colours stay flat, and the files are often no bigger than a good JPG. For scanned documents and photo-heavy pages JPG is the practical choice, because PNG stores the paper grain and every photo pixel exactly and the files grow several times larger.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
No. Every page is painted onto white before it is drawn, the same way a PDF viewer shows it, so the PNG is fully opaque. Most PDF pages have no transparent background to keep anyway. If you need a logo or drawing without the page behind it, extract the embedded images instead, or remove the white background in an image editor afterwards.
What DPI do I need for a sharp PNG?
Match the use. 150 DPI gives about 1240 pixels across an A4 page, plenty for a slide or a web page. 300 DPI, around 2480 pixels across, keeps footnotes legible when someone zooms in and prints cleanly. Above that the files grow quickly without a visible gain on screen. The Other option accepts any whole number from 36 to 600.
How are the PNG files named?
They take the PDF's name plus the page number, padded so they sort correctly: a 120-page report.pdf gives report-page-001.png up to report-page-120.png. A single-page PDF is saved simply as report.png. When you download several pages at once they come in one ZIP named after the document, so nothing ends up scattered across your downloads folder.
Can I convert only some pages of the PDF to PNG?
Yes. All pages start selected; click the thumbnails you don't want, use the None button and pick a few, or type a list such as 1, 3, 10-12 into Pages to convert. The counter under the grid shows how many pages will be saved, and the Convert to PNG button stays disabled until at least one page is selected.
