Convert PDF pages to sharp PNG images

Export any pages of a PDF as PNG files with no compression loss, ideal for text, diagrams and screenshots. It all runs in your browser, so the PDF is not uploaded.

How it works

  1. Step 1: Choose a PDF file, or drop it on the page.

  2. Step 2: Select all pages or a range, and choose the resolution.

  3. Step 3: Select Convert to PNG.

  4. Step 4: Download the PNG, or the ZIP if you exported several pages.

Why choose PNG for a PDF page

PNG stores every pixel exactly as drawn, with no quality setting to worry about. The tool renders each selected page with PDF.js at the DPI you choose and saves the result as a PNG, so edges of letters, table borders and thin chart lines stay clean instead of collecting the smudges that lossy formats can add.

The price is size. A page full of gradients or photographs can produce a PNG several times larger than the same page as a JPG, while a page of black text on white compresses well. If the content is mainly photographic, PDF to JPG usually gives a far smaller file.

This is rendering, not extracting: the text becomes pixels and can no longer be selected. Conversion happens on your device and the PDF is not uploaded.

Why use this tool

No compression loss

PNG is lossless, so sharp text, thin lines and flat colors are reproduced exactly at the resolution you selected.

Nothing leaves your device

The rendering is done by your browser. The PDF is not uploaded, which suits contracts, screenshots of dashboards and private forms.

Choose the resolution

Pick 72, 150, 200 or 300 DPI to trade file size against detail, and export just the pages you need.

Ready for design work

PNG is accepted by image editors, presentation software and web builders without extra settings.

Common uses

  • Diagrams and charts for a report

    Export a page with a chart or flowchart as PNG to drop into a slide or document without the blur that lossy compression can add to thin lines.

  • Documentation screenshots

    Technical writers can turn a PDF manual page into a PNG for a help article, keeping code and interface text legible.

  • Marking up a page in an image editor

    Render a form or plan at 200 or 300 DPI, then draw arrows and notes on it in a graphics program that works with PNG.

  • Logos and icons stored inside a PDF

    When a brand guide only exists as PDF, render the page with the logo at a high DPI to get a crisp image of the whole page.

  • Website and app mock-ups

    Designers can export pages of a PDF prototype into PNG files and lay them out in a mock-up or click-through demo.

PNG or JPG for a PDF page?

Match the format to what the page contains. Pages made of text, lines, tables, logos and flat colors are what PNG is good at: they stay crisp and the file is often small because large areas of identical color compress well. Pages dominated by photographs are better as JPG, where a slightly lossy file is visually the same and much lighter.

For a page with both, such as a report with a photo and a chart, decide by what matters more. Choose PNG when the chart must stay perfectly sharp, and JPG when you need to keep the whole set of images small enough to email.

  • PNG for text-heavy pages, charts, diagrams, screenshots and scans of line drawings.
  • JPG for photo albums, brochures and glossy magazine pages.
  • PDF to Images if you want to choose between JPG, PNG and WebP in one place.

Supported formats

Input
PDF files (.pdf), up to 200 MB and 2,000 pages. Password-protected files must be unlocked first.
Output
One PNG per page. One page downloads as a .png; several pages download as a ZIP.

Rendered with PDF.js at 72, 150, 200 or 300 DPI. PNG has no quality setting because it is lossless.

Good to know

  • PNG files of photo-heavy or high-DPI pages can be very large; use PDF to JPG if size matters more than exact pixels.
  • Text in the images cannot be selected or searched; use OCR PDF if you need a text layer.
  • Very large pages at a high DPI can exceed the browser's canvas limits; the tool warns you and you should lower the resolution.
  • Files above 200 MB and PDFs above 2,000 pages are refused, and password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first with Unlock PDF.

Your files never leave your browser

This tool runs entirely on your device using your browser. Your files are not uploaded to our servers and are not stored anywhere. Closing the tab discards everything.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded when I convert it to PNG?

No. Your browser reads the PDF and draws each page, so the file never leaves your device. There is no upload and no account.

Why is the PNG larger than a JPG of the same page?

Because PNG keeps every pixel without loss, and photographs or gradients contain a great deal of pixel detail. Text pages stay small, but image-heavy pages grow quickly.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF to PNG?

Not directly. Unlock it first with Unlock PDF (you need to know the password), then convert the unlocked copy.

Which DPI is best for PNG?

150 DPI suits most screens and documents. Use 200 or 300 DPI when you will zoom in, print or edit the image, and 72 DPI for small previews.

Can I convert several pages at once?

Yes. Choose all pages or a range and the images are bundled into a single ZIP. A single page downloads as one PNG.
