How to use PDF to PNG Converter
- Add a PDF and wait for the page thumbnails.
- Select the pages you want (all are selected by default) and choose the resolution.
- Select Convert to PNG. One page downloads as a PNG; several come as a ZIP.
How it works
PNG is the better choice than JPG for most PDF pages, because documents are mostly text, lines and flat colour. PNG keeps those edges perfectly crisp, while JPG leaves faint smudges around letters. PNG files are larger for pages that are mainly photographs; for those, PDF to JPG is more economical.
Each page is drawn by pdf.js, the PDF engine built into Firefox, at the resolution you choose: 72 DPI matches the page’s size on screen, 150 DPI is sharp for slides, documents and web use, 300 DPI is print quality and good for zooming in, and 600 DPI suits large prints or fine line drawings. An A4 or Letter page at 300 DPI is about 2480 × 3508 pixels.
Pages are drawn on a white background, as a PDF viewer shows them. The PDF stays on your device throughout.
Example
A 12-slide deck exported as PDF: all pages at 150 DPI give twelve crisp PNGs of about 1650 × 930 pixels in one ZIP, ready to drop into a document or post.
Frequently asked questions
Which resolution should I choose?
150 DPI for screens, documents and slides; 300 DPI for printing or when people will zoom in; 600 DPI only for large prints, since files become very big.
Is the PNG background transparent?
No. Pages are drawn on white, exactly as they appear in a PDF reader.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. Click the thumbnails to select or deselect pages, or type a range such as 1-3, 7.
Should I use PNG or JPG?
PNG for text, diagrams, screenshots and slides. JPG for pages that are mostly photos, where it is much smaller.
Can I get the original images out of the PDF instead?
Yes, with PDF to JPG’s "Only the pictures inside" option, which extracts embedded photos at their stored resolution.
Limitations
- 300 and 600 DPI images of large pages need a lot of memory; convert fewer pages at a time on phones.
- Backgrounds are white, not transparent.
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
