Why convert PDF to PNG?

PDF is universal for documents, but you often need individual page images for presentations, websites, or social media. PNG preserves sharp text and clean edges without compression artifacts, making it ideal for documents, invoices, and technical drawings extracted from PDF.

Each PDF page becomes a separate PNG file with lossless quality. PNG supports transparency, so pages with transparent backgrounds are preserved correctly. For photo-heavy PDFs where file size matters more than edge sharpness, consider converting to JPG or WebP instead.

This converter processes files locally in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. No registration, no limits, no watermarks.

How to convert PDF to PNG

Upload your PDF file
Drag and drop your PDF file onto the converter or click to browse.
Click Convert
Every page is rendered at 144 DPI and saved as lossless PNG, so there is no quality slider.
Download the images
The Download button next to a page saves it on its own, and Download all packs all pages into one ZIP archive.

What makes this converter different?

Complete privacy
Your files are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Add any number of PDF files, each up to 100 MB. The converter processes them one by one and shows the status of each.
All pages at 144 DPI
The converter renders every page of the document at double scale, that is 144 DPI, and shows the size of the result next to it.
Download in one archive
The Download all button packs all finished files into one ZIP archive, so you do not have to approve a dozen downloads one after another.

Resolution and weight of images from PDF pages

The converter renders every page at double scale, that is 144 DPI: an A4 page gives an image of 1190 × 1684 pixels, enough for a screen and a presentation but not for offset print. From the two-page test PDF the screenshot page came out as 426.6 KB and the photo page as 3.01 MB.

PNG stores the page without loss and without a quality slider, so text and thin lines stay sharp. The price is weight: the photo page grew to 3.01 MB. Choose WebP for the web and stay with the PDF for printing the document.

Tips for converting PDF to PNG

A few tips to help you avoid common issues during conversion:

Very large files
The converter renders every page separately and keeps the finished images in the browser’s memory until you download them. Convert a document with several hundred pages, or with high-resolution scans, in a few rounds: download the finished pages with Download all and only then add the next file. The limit is 100 MB per file.
Pages with text
At 144 DPI the text is readable on screen, but small print loses sharpness when enlarged. To publish part of a page in print, export the image from the program that created the PDF.
Transparency
PNG stores an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent areas of the PDF file stay unchanged in the result.
The document stays untouched
The page images are new renders and the PDF file does not change in any way. To cut one page out as a separate PDF use a document program; this converter saves images only.

How much does a file weigh after converting PDF to PNG?

A two-page test PDF: page 1 holds a 1920 × 1060 pixel screenshot, page 2 a 1280 × 1659 pixel photo. The converter renders every page at double scale, that is 144 DPI.

File	Image dimensions in pixels	PNG
Page 1: screenshot	1684 × 1190	426.6 KB
Page 2: photo	1190 × 1684	3.01 MB

Our own measurement from 6 September 2026 in a Chromium-based browser. PNG stores pixels without loss, so the page with the photo weighs many times more than the page with the screenshot.

When to choose PNG vs JPG for PDF page extraction

PNG is lossless — it preserves sharp text edges, clean lines, and exact colors without compression artifacts. This makes PNG ideal for documents with text, technical drawings, invoices, and any content with sharp edges.

JPG uses lossy compression and may show visible artifacts around text and sharp edges (known as "ringing"). However, JPG produces smaller files, which is better for photo-heavy PDFs like product catalogs or photo albums.

Rule of thumb: choose PNG for documents with text and diagrams, JPG for photo-heavy PDFs, and WebP for the best balance of quality and size.
