How to convert a PDF to PNG
- Add your PDF. Drop it on the box or choose it. PNG is already selected and every page is ready to convert.
- Pick the resolution and pages. 150 DPI suits screens and documents, 300 DPI suits print. Click pages to leave them out, or type a range like 2-4.
- Convert. One page downloads as a PNG named after the PDF and page number. Several pages come in one zip file.
When PNG is the right choice
JPG saves space by blurring fine detail slightly, which you can't see in a photo but can see around black letters on white paper, as faint grey speckles. PNG keeps every pixel, so it is the better format for:
- Pages of text you will paste into slides, a wiki or a chat, and want readable when zoomed in.
- Charts, floor plans, circuit diagrams and spreadsheets with thin lines and small numbers.
- Screenshots of documents for tutorials, bug reports or app store listings.
- Images you will edit further, since PNG doesn't lose quality each time it is saved.
For scanned pages and photo-heavy brochures, use PDF to JPG instead: the files are much smaller.
PNG sizes for an A4 page
| Resolution | Pixels (A4) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 595 × 842 | Thumbnails, previews in a list |
| 150 DPI | 1240 × 1754 | Slides, web pages, reading on screen |
| 300 DPI | 2480 × 3508 | Printing, zooming into small print |
Tips
Upload limit on a form? Detailed PNG pages can be too big for a 200 KB limit. Use Compress image afterwards, which can turn them into a small JPG.
Only need part of a page? Convert at 300 DPI and crop the PNG; there's enough detail left to keep small text readable.
Frequently asked questions
Is PNG better than JPG for PDF pages?
For pages that are mostly text, tables, charts or diagrams, yes: PNG stores every pixel exactly, so letters keep clean edges with no smudgy halo. For scanned pages and photos, JPG looks the same to the eye at a fraction of the size.
Why are my PNG files so large?
PNG is lossless, so detailed pages make big files, and 300 DPI has four times as many pixels as 150 DPI. A simple page of text at 150 DPI can be under 100 KB, but a page full of photos can be several MB. Use 150 DPI unless you need print quality, or switch to JPG for photo pages.
Do the PNGs have a transparent background?
No. Pages are drawn on white, as PDF readers show them, so there are no see-through gaps when you paste them into slides or documents. To cut out a logo, remove the background in an image editor afterwards.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Each page is drawn into an image by your browser on this device, and the PNG files are created there too. Nothing is sent to a server.
Can I convert only one page?
Yes. Type the page number in the Pages box, or click Clear and then click the page you want. One page downloads as a single PNG; several pages come in a zip.
