Convert PDF to PNG
Turn PDF pages into PNG images with sharp text and clean lines. Pick all pages or a range, choose 150 or 300 DPI, and download the PNG files one by one or in a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser, so the PDF stays on your device.
How to convert PDF to PNG
Convert PDF to PNG in your browser
PNG is a lossless image format: it stores every pixel exactly as it was drawn. That makes it the best choice when a PDF page is mostly text, tables, charts, diagrams or line art, where the faint blur that JPG compression adds around hard edges is easy to see. This tool draws each PDF page in your browser and saves it as a PNG, so the pages of a report, a slide deck or a form can go into a presentation, a wiki or a design file as images.
Your PDF is never uploaded. It is opened on your device with pdf.js, the PDF reader built into Firefox, and the images are made there too. Only the tool itself is downloaded from our site. There is no account to create and no watermark on the images.
PNG or JPG for PDF pages
Choose PNG for pages made on a computer: documents, spreadsheets, invoices, slides, charts and web pages saved as PDF. The text keeps sharp edges and flat colors stay flat. Large areas of a single color compress well without any loss, so these files are usually a reasonable size.
Choose JPG for scanned pages and pages full of photos. A scan has paper texture and noise in every pixel, and a lossless format has to keep all of it, so a PNG of a scanned page can be much larger than a JPG that looks the same. You can switch between the two with the Format option before converting, and PDF to JPG covers the JPG side in more detail.
Choosing 150 or 300 DPI
Standard draws pages at 150 DPI, which is 150 pixels for each inch of paper. An A4 page becomes about 1240 × 1754 pixels and a US Letter page 1275 × 1650 pixels: plenty for reading on a screen, in a slide or on a web page.
High draws pages at 300 DPI, which doubles the width and the height, so an A4 page becomes about 2480 × 3508 pixels. Use it for printing, for tiny print you want to zoom into, and for detailed drawings. A PNG at High holds four times as many pixels as at Standard, so expect bigger files and a longer wait on long PDFs. Very large pages, such as A3 posters, are scaled down a little at High so that no image goes over 16 million pixels, the most iPhone Safari will draw.
Pages, file names and the background
All pages is the default. Choose Page range to convert only some pages, typed as numbers and ranges such as 1-3, 7. Pages are converted in the order you type them. One PDF can have up to 300 pages and be up to 60 MB, and a PDF that needs a password to open has to have the password removed first, which unlock PDF does in your browser if you know the password.
Each image is named after the PDF and its page number, for example report-page-2.png. One page downloads directly. Several pages each get a download button, and Download all puts them in one ZIP called report-images.zip. Every page is drawn on a white background, so the PNG files have no transparent areas, and the text in them is part of the picture and cannot be selected. If the files are too big, compress PNG makes them lighter on your device.
