Drop a PDF here, keep 150 DPI or pick another resolution, and press Convert. Your browser draws each page and returns a ZIP of lossless PNG files, one per page and in page order.
Why PNG suits text, charts and diagrams
PNG keeps the value of every single pixel. Thin strokes in letters, table rules and diagram lines therefore come out clean. They avoid the smudging that JPG compression may cause along sharp edges. That makes PNG the right pick for forms, charts, engineering drawings, slide decks, reports and any page you plan to crop or annotate later.
Photos change the picture. Pages that are mostly photographs or scans turn into big PNGs, while PDF to JPG produces far lighter files that look no different. If a small file is worth more to you than flawless edges, set JPG quality to 85 or more for a sensible middle ground.
How to save PDF pages as PNG
- Drop one PDF, several, or a whole folder into the drop zone.
- Keep the preset 150 DPI or set a different resolution.
- Press Convert.
- Grab the ZIP, where the PNGs follow the page order.
Choosing a resolution between 36 and 300 DPI
DPI sets how many pixels each page receives. The 150 DPI default gives an A4 page about 1240 by 1750 pixels, plenty for screens, presentations and documentation. Printing, or readers who zoom into small type, call for 300 DPI. Width and height then double, so every image holds about four times as many pixels. Thumbnails need far less: 72 DPI already makes very small files, and the scale goes down to 36. As a rule of thumb, stay at 150 for anything read on a screen and move to 300 for anything headed to paper.
Many PDFs at once, without uploading them
The rendering happens entirely in your browser. No PDF is uploaded, none leaves your device, and there is no batch cap, no daily allowance and no account to make. Files up to 50 MB are free. Pro, at EUR 7.99 a month or EUR 59 a year, accepts up to 500 MB. How fast a batch goes depends on your device. Save the images one by one or as a single ZIP.
When a set of product manuals or training decks also needs resizing or renaming, build a pipeline. It chains those steps and runs them over every file. Pipelines can be tried free with up to 3 files and handle up to 500 on Pro.
FAQ
Can the background be transparent?
No. Each page is drawn on a white canvas, as a PDF reader shows it. The images therefore have a white background, not a transparent one.
Is the text in a PNG searchable?
No. The words are part of the image now and cannot be selected. PDF to Text gets them out as plain text.
Why is a PNG of a photo page so large?
Nothing is thrown away, and photos are packed with fine detail. For those pages, JPG makes far smaller files with no visible difference.
How do I get a PNG of just page 4?
Pull page 4 out with Split PDF first, and convert the resulting one-page file.
Do scanned PDFs work?
Yes. A scanned page converts the same way as any other.
