Each page becomes a lossless PNG
What is the PDF to PNG Converter?
A PDF-to-PNG converter renders each PDF page to a canvas and exports it as a PNG. PNG uses lossless compression — no JPEG artifacts, sharp text edges, clean line art — at the cost of a larger file size than JPG. Pick PNG when image quality matters more than bytes: documentation, design assets, technical diagrams, anything you'll zoom into.
How to use the PDF to PNG Converter
- 1
Drop in a PDF
Drag a PDF onto the upload area, or click to browse. PDF.js loads on first use, then every page renders in your browser.
- 2
Pick a DPI
72 for the web, 150 for general use, 300 for print or zoom. PNG is lossless, so quality only depends on resolution — there's no quality slider like JPG.
- 3
Click Convert
Each page renders to a canvas, then becomes a PNG via canvas.toBlob. PNG files are larger than JPGs of the same DPI; the panel shows file size as it goes.
- 4
Download the images
Per-page download buttons plus Download all for a sequential bulk save. Page numbers in the filename match the PDF page order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pick PNG over JPG?
PNG is lossless: no compression artifacts on text edges, no blocking on flat color regions, no halos around line art. The file size is bigger (often 2-5× a JPG at the same DPI), but for screenshots, technical diagrams, charts, or any document you'll zoom into, the cleaner output is worth it. Pick JPG only when bytes matter more than fidelity.
Is the background transparent?
No, the PDF-to-PNG output uses the PDF's actual page background (typically white). PDFs don't have a built-in concept of transparency at the page level, so there's no transparent background to preserve. To get a transparent PNG, you'd need to edit the output in an image editor and remove the white background manually.
How big are the files?
Roughly 200-400 KB per A4 page at 150 DPI for typical documents; around 1 MB at 300 DPI. Pages with photos compress less efficiently than pages with text and line art, so a 50-page report renders smaller than a 50-page magazine.
Does PNG preserve fine text and line art better than JPG?
Yes. JPG's chroma subsampling and DCT-based compression smudge sharp edges — you'll see soft halos around small text, banding on flat backgrounds, and blocky artifacts on line art. PNG stores pixels exactly, so a 12pt heading renders crisp at any zoom level and a 1px chart line stays a 1px line. Pick PNG whenever the page has text or vector content you'll need to read or measure.
