PDF to PNG Converter
Turn PDF pages into PNG images with no compression artifacts. PNG is the right choice when a page contains text, diagrams, screenshots, or line art you need to stay perfectly sharp.
Private by design: This tool runs entirely in your browser using its built-in image engine. Your files are not uploaded to a server, and nothing you convert is stored or logged. See how in-browser processing works.
How to convert PDF to PNG
Drop a PDF onto the upload area, or click it to browse.
Pick a resolution — 2× is a good default, 3× for text you'll zoom into.
Click Convert, then download the pages individually or as a ZIP.
PNG or JPG for PDF pages?
It depends entirely on what's on the page. PNG is lossless, so every letter edge and diagram line comes out exactly as rendered — the right call for documents, slides, charts, code, and screenshots. JPG compresses by discarding detail, which shows up as faint smudging around sharp black-on-white text.
JPG wins on photographs. A page that's mostly a photo will produce a far smaller JPG than PNG at effectively identical quality. If your pages are photographic, or you just need small files, use PDF to JPG instead.
How much bigger, really
Lossless means bigger, but how much bigger depends entirely on what's on the page — and the answer surprises people. Exporting the same A4 page at 2×, a page of body text came out around 300 KB as PNG against 270 KB as JPG. Barely a difference, so sharp text is close to free. A photographic page in the same test produced a 1.4 MB PNG against a 240 KB JPG — roughly six times the size.
That's the whole decision in one line: text and diagrams cost you almost nothing in PNG, photos cost you a great deal. PDF to PNG or JPG works through the comparison in full.
Choosing a resolution
1× matches the PDF's own page size and is fine for quick previews. 2× is the sensible default for slides and documents on modern screens. 3× is for pages with small print you expect people to zoom into — the files get large quickly, so don't reach for it by default.
What you get out
One PNG per page, numbered in order, downloadable individually or as a single ZIP. The pages become images, so the text inside them is no longer selectable or searchable — that's inherent to turning a document into a picture. If you need the words themselves, keep the PDF.
Good to know
PNG is lossless — sharp text and diagrams stay crisp, with no JPG smudging.
PNG files are considerably larger than JPG; for photo-heavy pages, PDF to JPG is the better fit.
Every page becomes an image, so its text is no longer selectable or searchable.
Pages are exported at the resolution you pick, not the PDF's internal image resolution.
Frequently asked questions
Should I export PDF pages as PNG or JPG?
PNG for text, diagrams, charts, and screenshots, where lossless output keeps edges sharp. JPG for photographic pages or when you need small files.
Why are the PNG files so large?
PNG compresses losslessly, so it never discards detail the way JPG does. That keeps text crisp but produces bigger files — often several times the size of the equivalent JPG.
What resolution should I choose?
2× suits most documents and slides. Use 3× when the page has small print people will zoom into, and 1× for quick previews.
Can I still select the text afterwards?
No. Each page becomes an image, so the text is part of the picture. Keep the original PDF if you need selectable or searchable text.
Does it convert every page?
Yes — every page becomes its own numbered PNG, and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Pages are rendered in your browser, so the document never leaves your device — including confidential ones.
