How do I convert a PDF to PNG?

  1. Choose your PDF, or several: they will be processed one by one.
  2. In “Format”, choose PNG, then the quality: normal or high.
  3. Press the convert button, then download your PNG images (grouped in a ZIP if there are several pages).

JPG makes images lighter by removing details that are barely visible in a photo but show up in fine text or lines: small specks around letters, smudged lines. PNG compresses without loss: every pixel is kept as it is. It is therefore better suited to text pages, diagrams, plans and tables.

In normal quality, the page is rendered at 150 dots per inch, enough for a screen; in high quality, at 300 dots per inch, the usual resolution for printing. An A4 page then gives an image of about 2,480 × 3,508 pixels. The trade-off: a PNG is larger than a JPG, especially for a page full of photos.

The background of the images is white, like a sheet of paper: the resulting PNG is not transparent. To convert only one page, first extract it with the Extract pages tool. The conversion is done by your browser: your PDF is not uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

PNG or JPG: which should I choose?

PNG for text, a diagram or a plan, when sharpness matters. JPG for a page full of photos, when file size matters more.

Can I get a transparent PNG?

No: each page is drawn on a white background, like a printed sheet. To cut out a logo, you need image editing software.

Which quality should I choose for printing?

High quality, at 300 dots per inch. For on-screen display or sending via a messaging app, normal quality is enough and gives much smaller files.

Is my PDF uploaded online?

No, each page is converted on your device, in your browser.
