PDF to PNG

Convert each page to a lossless, high-resolution PNG image

Convert PDF to PNG when you need sharp page images: PNG is lossless, so text, lines and colors come out exactly as rendered, with no compression artifacts. Pick the pages you want, choose a resolution up to 288 dpi and download one PNG per page.

The tool is free, needs no account and runs in your browser. Your PDF is processed on your device and not sent anywhere.

How it works

  1. Open your PDF Drop the file on the upload area or click it to choose it. A thumbnail of every page appears, and all pages start selected.

  2. Choose the pages Click a thumbnail to leave that page out or bring it back. "All" and "None" work on the whole document, and the counter shows how many pages are selected.

  3. Check the format Under Options, check that Format is set to PNG. Switch it to JPG only if you prefer smaller files to exact pixels.

  4. Set the resolution Move the Resolution slider from 1x to 4x, in steps of 0.5. The default 2x gives 144 dpi.

  5. Convert and download Press the button under the options. One selected page downloads as a PNG file; several pages download together in a ZIP archive.

Choosing the resolution

The Resolution slider sets how many pixels each inch of the page gets: 72 at 1x, 144 at 2x, 216 at 3x and 288 at 4x. The default 2x suits screens, slides and documents; 3x or 4x helps when you need to zoom into small print or fine lines.

Pixels add up quickly: doubling the scale gives four times as many pixels, so files get larger and long documents take longer to convert. If your browser slows down on a long PDF at 4x, convert fewer pages at a time.

288 dpi at 4x is the maximum. If a print service asks for a higher resolution, this tool cannot reach it.

PNG or JPG: which one to pick

Choose PNG for pages made of text, tables, charts, diagrams, screenshots and line art. Lossless compression keeps every edge crisp, which matters when you paste a page into slides, documentation or an image editor.

Choose JPG for pages that are mostly photos, or when file size matters more than exact pixels, for example to email many pages. Switch Format to JPG and a Quality slider appears, from 50 to 100 (90 by default).

What you download

  • One selected page: a single PNG named after your PDF and the page, for example report.pdf gives report_page3.png.
  • Several pages: one ZIP archive, report_images.zip, with one PNG per selected page, numbered after its page in the PDF.
  • Pages are rendered on a white background, so the PNG files have no transparent areas.
  • The images are pictures of the pages: their text can no longer be selected or searched. To get editable text from a digital PDF, use PDF to Word instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose PNG instead of JPG?

PNG is lossless, so text, lines and flat colors stay exactly as rendered. JPG usually gives smaller files for photos, and you can switch to it under Format on this page.

What resolution do the PNG images have?

You choose it with the Resolution slider: from 72 dpi at 1x to 288 dpi at 4x, with 144 dpi at the default 2x.

Can I convert only some pages?

Yes. All pages are selected when the PDF opens; click the thumbnails of the pages you do not need before converting. Only the selected pages are converted.

Do the PNG images have a transparent background?

No. Pages are rendered on white, as in a PDF viewer, so every PNG is opaque.

How are the files named?

A single page downloads as name_pageN.png, for example report_page3.png. Several pages come in name_images.zip.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The pages are rendered in your browser: the file is processed on your device and not sent anywhere.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Yes, each page becomes an image like any other. The text stays part of the picture, since there is no OCR.

Is it free?

Yes, with no account and no subscription. There is no daily quota or usage counter, and no file size cap: only your device's memory matters.
