PDF to PNG: export PDF pages as lossless images

Export pages as lossless PNG images.

On your device. No watermark. No sign-up.

How to use PDF to PNG

  1. Open your file. PDF to PNG starts as soon as you drop a file or click the box above — the file opens in your browser and stays there.
  2. Choose your options. Pick 96, 150 or 300 DPI, then press Convert to PNG. Up to three pages download as separate files; a longer PDF comes as one ZIP.
  3. Download the result. The finished file is generated on your device and saved straight from your browser — free, with no watermark added.

This tool is processed locally with JavaScript inside your browser tab. The document is not uploaded, stored or seen by a server, which makes it suitable for contracts, invoices, CVs and medical or financial records.

When PNG is the right output

PNG is lossless, so it is the right choice for anything with hard edges: text, line art, logos, charts, screenshots of a page, and slides you will paste into a document and then enlarge.

It is the wrong choice for a scanned photo page or a photo-heavy brochure, where JPG gives a far smaller file for the same visible result. If the goal is a small file to email, use PDF to JPG instead.

There is no quality slider on this page, because PNG has nothing to trade. The only setting that changes the picture is the resolution.

Resolution: 96, 150 or 300 DPI

Screen is 96 DPI. An A4 page comes out at about 794 × 1,123 pixels — enough for a preview, a thumbnail or a web page.

Good is 150 DPI, about 1,240 × 1,754 pixels for A4. It reads well on screen and suits most uploads that ask for an image.

Print is 300 DPI, about 2,480 × 3,508 pixels for A4. Use it when the image will be printed or enlarged. This is the highest setting.

A higher resolution cannot add detail that is not in the PDF. If the PDF is a low-quality scan, 300 DPI gives you a bigger copy of the same blur. If the text looks soft at 150 DPI, it will look soft at 300 DPI too, only larger — PDF Info shows what the file actually contains.

The background is always white

Each page is drawn onto a white canvas before it is saved, so the PNG has no transparency. A page that looks transparent in a viewer — rare, but it happens with some scanned overlays — arrives as white.

That is deliberate: a PNG with an alpha channel would show whatever sits behind it on a website, which usually makes the text unreadable.

One file, several files, or a ZIP

Every page of the PDF is converted. A PDF of up to three pages gives separate PNG files; a longer PDF is packed into one ZIP, which downloads on its own when the conversion finishes.

Files are named after the PDF with the page number, for example report-p01.png.

There is no page picker. If you need one page only, extract it first with Extract Pages and convert that one-page PDF.

Large PDFs, phones and passwords

Each page is drawn at full size in your device memory. A long PDF at 300 DPI can run out of memory, especially on a phone, because a single A4 page at that resolution is about 26 million pixels.

If that happens, lower the resolution, or split the PDF into parts with Split PDF and convert them one at a time.

A password-protected PDF has to be unlocked first with Remove Password, using the password you already have. A PDF that only blocks printing or copying opens here without a password.

Your PDF stays on your device

Pages are drawn inside this browser tab with PDF.js. The PDF is read from your disk and never sent to a server, so it is safe for contracts, certificates and ID documents. After your first visit the tool also works offline.

Questions

Is this PDF to PNG converter free?

Yes. There is no account, no daily limit and no watermark on the images.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The pages are rendered in your browser and the file never leaves your device.

Why is there no quality setting?

PNG is lossless, so there is no quality to trade away. Resolution is the only setting that changes the output.

Which resolution should I choose?

96 DPI for previews and thumbnails, 150 DPI for screens and most uploads, 300 DPI for printing or enlarging.

Is the PNG transparent?

No. Each page is drawn on a white background before saving, so the PNG has no transparency.

Why did I get a ZIP file?

PDFs with more than three pages are packed into one ZIP so you do not have to save many files one by one. Open it to find one PNG per page.

Can I convert only one page?

The tool converts every page. Extract the page first with Extract Pages, then convert that one-page PDF.

PNG or JPG for a scanned document?

JPG, unless you need the sharpest possible text. A scan is a photo of a page, and JPG stores it far more compactly. Use PNG when the page is text and line art that must stay crisp.

Why is the PNG bigger than the PDF?

The PDF stores text as instructions and images in compressed form. A PNG is a full pixel grid, so one A4 page at 300 DPI is several megabytes.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, but a long PDF at 300 DPI can run out of memory on an older phone. Lower the resolution or split the PDF first.
