Why are the files so large compared to JPG?
PNG is lossless. Nothing is discarded, so nothing is lost — and the file is bigger as a result.

What this tool does
Renders each page of a PDF as a PNG image. PNG is lossless, which makes it the better choice for documents containing text, line art or diagrams.
When to use PDF to PNG
- • Presentations. Dropping a document page into slides without it looking degraded.
- • Documentation. Screenshots and diagrams that need to stay legible.
- • Websites. Where a PDF cannot be embedded but image quality matters.
- • Archiving a visual record. A page image that does not degrade.
Why it is useful
- • PNG preserves sharp edges and avoids the compression artifacts common in JPG.
- • It is ideal for text-heavy and diagram-heavy documents.
- • It creates visual assets that are easy to reuse in slides and web work.
How to use PDF to PNG

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a single page?
Extract the page first, then convert it.
Do the images keep transparency?
PDF pages have a white background, so output is opaque.
Is anything uploaded?
No.
Which should I use for a scanned photograph?
JPG. PNG offers no visual benefit on photographic content and produces a much larger file.
