How to convert PDF pages to PNG

  1. Choose your PDF.
  2. Make sure PNG is selected as the format.
  3. Choose the quality: Small (72 DPI), Normal (150 DPI) or High (300 DPI).
  4. Choose All pages, or Choose and type the pages you want, such as 1-3, 7.
  5. Press Convert and save the images, or download them all as a ZIP.

When to use PNG

PNG is a lossless format: every pixel is saved exactly, with no compression blur. That makes it the better choice for:

  • Text documents, where JPG can leave fuzzy halos around letters.
  • Charts, diagrams and slides with flat colours and sharp lines.
  • Screenshots and UI mock-ups.
  • Images you’ll edit further, because PNG doesn’t lose quality each time it’s saved.

For photo-heavy pages such as brochures, JPG is usually smaller with no visible difference — use PDF to JPG.

Common uses

  • Sharing a page on social media or in a chat where PDFs don’t preview.
  • Adding a PDF page to a presentation or a document as an image.
  • Uploading to a form that only accepts images.
  • Creating thumbnails for a website or a document library.
  • Editing a page in an image editor.

Transparent backgrounds

PDF pages are rendered on a white background, so the PNGs are not transparent. If you need a logo or diagram without a background, use extract images from PDF to get the original image, which may keep its transparency.

Quality tips

For slides and charts that will be projected, 150 DPI is plenty. For images with small print — such as contracts you need to zoom into — choose 300 DPI. Very large pages, such as posters, are automatically limited to a safe size so your phone doesn’t run out of memory.

Privacy

The PDF is rendered by your browser’s PDF engine — the same one that displays PDFs — on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, so bank statements, contracts and IDs stay private.

To make the PNGs smaller, use the image compressor. To save only the photos inside a PDF, use extract images from PDF, and to turn images back into a PDF, JPG to PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to PNG?

Choose the PDF, make sure PNG is selected, pick the resolution and which pages you want, and press Convert. Save each image or download them all as a ZIP.

PNG or JPG — which is better?

PNG is lossless, so text, lines and diagrams stay perfectly crisp, and it suits documents, slides and screenshots. JPG makes smaller files and is better for pages that are mostly photos.

Which resolution should I choose?

150 DPI is right for screens, websites and presentations. 300 DPI is best for printing or when you need to zoom in on small text. 72 DPI gives small thumbnails.

How big will the images be?

An A4 page at 150 DPI is about 1,240 × 1,754 pixels; at 300 DPI about 2,480 × 3,508 pixels. PNG files of text pages are often a few hundred KB each at 150 DPI.

Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

Yes. Enter the password when asked; it’s used only on your device.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes. Choose “Choose” under pages and type a page number or range, such as 3 or 2-5, 8.
