About the PDF to PNG

PNG is the right format when the page is mostly text, a diagram, a chart or a screenshot — anything made of sharp edges and flat colour. JPEG's compression works by smoothing away detail the eye supposedly will not miss, and around the edge of a letter that assumption is wrong: text converted to JPEG comes out visibly soft and haloed.

PNG is lossless, so a page rendered at a given resolution is exactly what the renderer drew. Nothing is approximated and there is no quality setting to get wrong.

The cost is size. A photograph rendered as PNG is often several times larger than the same page as JPEG, so for pages that are mainly pictures the other tool is the better choice. For text and line art PNG is usually both smaller and better.

Resolution is yours to choose. Ninety-six dpi for screen use, a hundred and fifty for most purposes, three hundred when the image is going into print or needs to survive being zoomed into. A page is rendered at the scale you ask for, not upscaled afterwards, so 300 dpi really is three hundred dots per inch of detail.

Pages are drawn on your device by a renderer served from this site, with no third party involved and nothing uploaded.

How to use the PDF to PNG

  1. Add your PDF

    Tap them or type a range. Leave it empty to convert the whole document.

  3. Choose the resolution

    96 dpi for the screen, 150 for general use, 300 for print or heavy zooming.

  4. Convert and download

    One page saves on its own; several arrive together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose PNG rather than JPG?
Because PNG is lossless, and JPEG's compression softens exactly the sharp edges that text and diagrams are made of. For a page of prose or a chart, PNG is usually both crisper and smaller. For a page of photographs, JPG wins on size.
Will the background be transparent?
No. Pages are drawn on white, because a PDF page is transparent by default and a transparent PNG would look broken wherever it was placed. Every page comes out on a clean white ground.
What resolution do I need?
150 dpi covers most uses. Choose 300 when the image is going to print or will be zoomed into heavily — a page is rendered at that scale rather than enlarged afterwards, so the extra detail is real.
Is the text still selectable?
No. A rendered page is a picture of a page, so nothing in it can be selected, searched or read by a screen reader. Use the PDF-to-text tool if you need the words rather than the image.
Is my document uploaded?
No. The rendering happens in your browser, using a worker file served from this site rather than a third-party CDN, so nothing about the document leaves your device.
