PDF to PNG
Turn PDF pages into lossless PNGs — the right choice when the page is text, a chart or line art.

PNG files are much larger than JPEG at the same resolution. Pick the lowest setting that still looks sharp to you.
Leave blank to convert the whole document. A trailing dash means "to the end", so 12- starts at page 12.

What this tool does
This tool renders each page of a PDF and saves it as a PNG. The difference from the JPG version is not cosmetic: PNG is lossless, so nothing is thrown away on the way out. Text stays crisp, thin lines stay thin, and there are none of the soft grey halos that JPEG leaves around high-contrast edges.
That makes PNG the better choice for screenshots of documents, charts, diagrams, signatures and anything with flat colour or sharp type. The cost is size — a PNG page is typically several times larger than the same page as a JPEG — which is why the resolution you choose matters more here than anywhere else in the suite.
How to use it
- Drop in your PDF and wait for it to be read.
- Choose a resolution. Start at 144 dpi and go up only if you genuinely need more detail; PNG file sizes climb steeply.
- Optionally limit the pages field to the part of the document you need.
- Press Convert to PNG, then download pages individually or use Download all pages.
Common use cases
-
Screenshots of documents
Capture a page as a clean, sharp image for documentation or a support article.
-
Charts and diagrams
Export a figure at high resolution without the ringing and blocking JPEG introduces around lines and text.
-
Editing afterwards
Open the page in an image editor and annotate it, starting from a file that has not already lost detail.
-
Transparent-aware use
Drop a page image onto a coloured slide or web page without a JPEG's pale fringe showing at the edges.
Frequently asked questions
Why are the PNG files so much bigger than JPGs?
Because PNG keeps every pixel exactly as rendered while JPEG discards detail to save space. That is the whole trade-off: PNG is sharper and larger, JPEG is smaller and softer. Lower the resolution if the size is a problem.
Is there a quality setting?
No, and that is deliberate. PNG is a lossless format, so a quality slider would either do nothing or quietly switch to a different encoder. Resolution is the only control that genuinely changes the output.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. Use the PDF Unlocker with the password you already have to make an unlocked copy, then convert that.
