How to convert PDF to PNG
Drop your PDF files into the box above, or click Choose files. You can add several at once.
Choose the resolution: 150 DPI suits screens and sharing, 300 DPI suits printing.
Click Convert to PNG. Each file is processed on your device, usually in under a second.
Download the PNG files one by one, or all at once as a ZIP.
Why convert PDF to PNG?
PNG is lossless, so text edges, thin lines and flat colours come out exactly as rendered, with none of the blur JPG compression can add around type.
PNG page images are ideal for slides, documentation, design mock-ups and anywhere you need to crop or annotate a page.
Rendering happens on your device, so confidential reports and drafts aren't uploaded to a conversion service.
PDF vs PNG
A PDF page is resolution-independent: text and vector graphics are redrawn sharply at any zoom. A PNG captures the page at one resolution, losslessly.
Pages are rendered on a white background, just as a PDF viewer shows them.
| Property | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Depends on the embedded content | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes, full alpha channel |
| Animation | No | Only as APNG, rarely used |
| Pages | Any number of pages | One image |
| Best for | Sharing, printing and archiving documents | Screenshots, logos, graphics with text |
| Support | Every operating system, browser and printer | Everywhere |
Is it safe?
Yes. PDF to PNG runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read and converted by your own device using built-in browser technology, so they are never uploaded to a server and nobody else can see them.
You can check this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab and convert a file. No upload requests are made.
PDFs are rendered with pdf.js, the engine behind Firefox's PDF viewer, and scripts inside the document are never run. Nothing in the document is sent anywhere.
Files stay in this tab's memory only until you remove them or close the page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens with multi-page PDFs?
Every page becomes its own image, numbered in order (report-page-1, report-page-2 and so on), and they're downloaded together as a ZIP. A single-page PDF gives you a single image.
Why are PNG files bigger than JPG?
PNG stores every pixel exactly. For text-heavy pages the difference is modest, but for scanned or photo-heavy pages PNG can be several times larger. Use PDF to JPG for those.
What resolution do I need for slides or documentation?
150 DPI looks sharp on most screens. For high-density displays, printing or zooming into small text, choose 300 DPI.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Open the PDF in your PDF app, remove the password or print it to a new PDF, then convert that copy.
Are fonts rendered correctly?
Fonts embedded in the PDF are used as they are. The rare PDFs that rely on standard fonts without embedding them get matching substitutes, as in any PDF viewer.
