Quick answer: Drop a PDF (up to 150 MB), pick the scale or DPI (up to 300 DPI for print) and the pages, and download lossless PNG images, with an optional transparent background. Everything happens in your browser.

PNG keeps a page's original sharpness — useful when a PDF page has text or line art you want to reuse without JPG compression artefacts. This tool renders each page and exports it as a lossless PNG, entirely in your browser.

How to convert a PDF to PNG images

  1. Drop your PDF into the box or click Choose PDF File. Files up to 150 MB are supported.
  2. Choose a scale and DPI. Use 72 DPI for screens, 150 DPI for everyday printing and 300 DPI when you need very sharp detail.
  3. Tick “Transparent background” if you want blank page areas to stay see-through, for example when placing a diagram on a coloured slide.
  4. Select the pages you need, or use Select all.
  5. Click Convert to PNG, then download single images or use Download All PNGs.

Choosing the right DPI

DPI controls how many pixels each page becomes. A higher DPI gives a larger, sharper image but also a bigger file. For a web page, presentation or chat message, 72 to 150 DPI is plenty. For printing, zooming into small text or cutting out part of a technical drawing, choose 300 DPI. If the images end up too heavy, run them through our Image Compress tool afterwards.

PNG or JPG for PDF pages?

Pick PNG when the page is mostly text, charts, line art or a signature. PNG is lossless, so lettering stays crisp with no blurry halo. Pick JPG when the pages are full of photos and a smaller file matters more than perfect edges. Our PDF to JPG tool handles that case.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is opened and each page is drawn as an image inside your browser tab, so the file never leaves your device. This also makes it safe for private documents.

Should I choose PNG or JPG?

PNG is lossless, so text, line drawings, charts and screenshots stay crisp with no blurry edges, and it supports transparency. JPG makes smaller files and suits photos. For documents with text, PNG usually looks better.

Which DPI should I use?

Use 72 DPI for images you will view on screen or post online, 150 DPI for normal printing, and 300 DPI when you need print-quality detail. Higher DPI gives sharper images but larger files and a slower conversion.

What does the transparent background option do?

It removes the white page behind the content, so text and graphics sit on a transparent background. This is useful for logos, signatures or diagrams you want to place on top of other designs.

Can I convert only some pages?

Yes. Use the page range box to choose single pages or ranges, and only those pages are turned into PNG images.

Why is the conversion slow for large PDFs?

Each page is rendered on your own device, so very long documents or 300 DPI settings take more time and memory. Converting fewer pages at once, or using a lower DPI, speeds it up.
