About converting PDF pages to PNG
PNG is the right choice when a page is mostly text, tables, diagrams or line drawings. It stores every pixel exactly, so edges stay hard and thin lines don't pick up the smudging that JPG leaves around them.
The price is size. A PNG of a text page is often several times the size of the same page as JPG. For pages that are mainly photographs, JPG or WebP will serve you better.
Like everything on this site, this tool runs in your browser. Your image is never uploaded.
Common questions
Is the pdf to png tool free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The pdf to png tool runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
Should I export PDF pages as PNG or JPG?
PNG for anything with text, tables, diagrams or line art, because it keeps every edge exactly sharp. JPG for pages that are mostly photographs, where the smaller file is worth more than the last trace of detail. A scanned page of typed text is the clearest case for PNG.
Why is my PNG page so much bigger than the PDF?
Because a PDF stores text as instructions for drawing letters, while a PNG has to store every single pixel of the result. Rendering a page turns a few kilobytes of text into a full picture at whatever resolution you chose. Lower the resolution, or use JPG, if the size is a problem.
