PDF to PNG Converter

You can convert PDF pages into lossless PNG images in your browser: choose a resolution and page range, then download each PNG on its own or all of them together as a ZIP file.

About PDF to PNG

PNG is the format to choose when the pixels matter more than the file size. A PNG page keeps every rendered pixel exactly as the PDF renderer drew it, with no JPEG compression around small text, thin lines or flat interface colors. That makes PDF-to-PNG useful before OCR, when a page will be edited in an image editor, or when a screenshot has to become a clean, full-resolution asset.

This tool draws each page with pdf.js at the resolution you pick and exports it as PNG, then bundles multi-page jobs into a ZIP alongside individual downloads. The PDF and the images stay on your device: rendering and encoding happen inside the browser tab, and nothing is uploaded. Very large pages are rendered at a reduced scale so the tab stays within canvas memory limits.

What this tool does

The details that matter when you use PDF to PNG for real work.

  • Lossless PNG pages

    No JPEG artifacts around text edges and line art — the output keeps exactly the pixels that were rendered.

  • Three resolution levels

    Render at roughly 108, 144 or 216 dpi. Use the high setting before OCR or when a page will be zoomed in.

  • Page range control

    Export every page or only the pages you name, for example 1-3, 8, instead of processing the whole document.

  • Single files plus a ZIP

    Each page is offered as an individual PNG, and multi-page conversions add one ZIP with everything inside.

  • Dimension previews

    A thumbnail grid shows every rendered page and its exact pixel dimensions before you download anything.

  • Local rendering

    pdf.js draws the pages in your browser; the document is never uploaded and no images are stored afterwards.

How to use PDF to PNG

No account, no installation — the whole job happens in this browser tab.
  1. 01

    Add the PDF

    Drop the file into the workspace. The page count is read locally so you can choose a valid range.

  2. 02

    Pick a resolution

    Standard is right for most screen use. Choose the high level for OCR or printing, and the smaller level when file size matters.

  3. 03

    Select pages

    Leave the page field empty to render everything, or type a range such as 2-4, 7 to export only those pages.

  4. 04

    Convert to PNG

    Click Convert to PNG. Each page is rendered and encoded one at a time, with a progress bar to show how far it has got.

  5. 05

    Download the images

    Take a single PNG directly, or download the ZIP that contains every rendered page.

Limitations worth knowing

  • PNG output is large — often several megabytes per page — and the tool limits a run to 50 pages.
  • Rendering turns text into pixels: the PNG has no selectable text, links, bookmarks or form fields.
  • Extremely large page sizes are rendered at a reduced scale to stay inside browser canvas limits.
  • Password-protected or damaged PDFs cannot be rendered at all.

Privacy and file handling

The PDF is rendered to PNG images entirely inside your browser using pdf.js and the Canvas API. Neither the document nor the images are uploaded, logged or stored. Download what you need, then close the tab to discard the working copy.

PDF to PNG FAQ

Short, direct answers to the questions people ask before using this tool.
Why choose PNG instead of JPG for PDF pages?
PNG stores the exact rendered pixels, so small text, diagrams and flat color areas stay clean with no JPEG artifacts. Choose PNG when the page will be OCR'd or edited; choose JPG when file size matters more than perfect edges.
Are PNG pages lossless compared with the original PDF?
The PNG file stores exactly what the renderer drew, but the render itself turns vector text into pixels at the resolution you choose. Zoom far enough and text will look blocky, so pick a higher dpi if the image must survive close inspection.
Why are PNG files so much larger than JPG files?
PNG compresses without throwing pixels away, which is inefficient for photographic content. A single page can easily be several megabytes at 216 dpi. For photos and scans where some compression is acceptable, PDF to JPG produces much smaller files.
Can I export only one page as a PNG?
Yes. Type the page number in the Pages field, for example 5, and only that page is rendered and offered for download. Leaving the field empty exports the whole document.
What happens to transparent areas of a PDF page?
PDF pages are painted onto a white canvas before export, so every PNG has a solid white background. The PNG format can store transparency, but a normal PDF page has no meaningful transparent background to preserve.
Which resolution should I use before OCR?
Use the high level, around 216 dpi, so small print is large enough for OCR engines to recognize. Higher resolution also makes each PNG larger and takes longer to render, so convert only the pages that need OCR.
Do the exported PNGs keep the PDF's links or metadata?
No. A PNG is a flat image, so hyperlinks, form fields, bookmarks and document metadata are not carried over. Only the visual page is exported.
Why was a very large page rendered at a smaller size?
Browsers cap canvas dimensions and memory. When a page is so large that a full-resolution canvas would fail, the renderer lowers the scale automatically to keep the conversion running instead of crashing.
