How to convert a PDF to PNG
-
Add your PDF
Drag your file into the box or tap “Browse”: thumbnails of every page appear.
-
Choose the quality and pages
PNG is already selected. Set the resolution (72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI), tick “transparent background” if needed and tap the thumbnails to keep only some pages.
-
Download your PNGs
Tap “Convert”, then save each image separately or grab every page at once in a ZIP file.
Crisp PNGs, page by page
Lossless quality
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is: text, tables, diagrams and logos stay sharp, without the blurry compression artifacts you get with JPG.
Up to 600 DPI
72 DPI for a light preview, 150 DPI for screens, 300 DPI for printing, 600 DPI to zoom into a very detailed plan or diagram.
Transparent background
One option removes the white page background: handy for placing a logo, a signature or a vector drawing on top of another image.
Nothing is uploaded
Pages are rendered by your browser: invoices, contracts and bank statements never leave your computer or phone.
Why convert a PDF to PNG?
A PDF opens fine, but it doesn't fit everywhere: many websites, social networks, messaging apps and video editors only accept images. Once your pages are PNG files, you can drop them into a slide deck, a Word document, a video, a YouTube thumbnail, a story or a chat, and edit them in any image editor. Each page becomes its own file that you can crop, annotate or share without sending the whole document.
High-quality PDF to PNG: which resolution should you pick?
Resolution, measured in DPI (dots per inch), sets the size of the image. A US Letter page gives about 612 × 792 pixels at 72 DPI, 1,275 × 1,650 at 150 DPI, 2,550 × 3,300 at 300 DPI and 5,100 × 6,600 at 600 DPI (an A4 page is slightly taller). To view the page on screen or post it online, 150 DPI is enough. For printing or an HD result, choose 300 DPI. Keep 600 DPI for plans, maps and small print you need to enlarge: the file gets much heavier. Very large pages are scaled down automatically to stay within your browser's limits.
PDF to PNG with a transparent background
By default, the page keeps its white background, just like paper. When you tick “transparent background”, every area where the PDF draws nothing becomes transparent in the PNG. It's ideal for pulling a logo, a stamp, a signature or a diagram out of a PDF and placing it on a color or a photo. Note: if the PDF itself contains a white rectangle or a background image (as scanned documents do), that background is part of the drawing and stays visible.
PNG or JPG: which format suits your pages?
PNG is lossless: perfect for documents with text, tables, charts and flat colors, and the only one of the two that supports transparency. JPG compresses more and works better for pages full of photos, when file size matters more than perfect sharpness. You can switch to JPG inside the tool, or use our “PDF to JPG” tool. To do the opposite and combine images into a PDF, use “PNG to PDF”.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a PDF to PNG for free?
Add your PDF to the box above, leave PNG selected, choose the resolution and tap “Convert”. The images download one by one or all together in a ZIP. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no page limit tied to an account.
How do I convert just one page of a PDF to PNG?
Tap “None” to clear the selection, then tap the thumbnail of the page you want (or type its number in “Pages to convert”, for example 3 or 2-4, 7). Only those pages are converted.
Can I convert a PDF to PNG on iPhone, Android, Windows or Mac?
Yes. The tool runs in the browser on any device, with no app or software to install. On a phone, the images land in your downloads or in the Files app; a resolution of 150 DPI keeps the files from getting too heavy.
Why is the background still white when I ticked “transparent background”?
Because that white is drawn inside the PDF itself: a background rectangle, an image or a scanned page. The tool only makes transparent the areas where the document draws nothing.
My PDF is password-protected. What can I do?
The tool can't read an encrypted PDF. Open it with its password and save an unprotected copy, then convert that copy.
I want the photos inside the PDF, not whole pages.
Use our “Extract Images From PDF” tool: it pulls out each embedded image at its original size instead of capturing the whole page.
