Why PNG for PDF pages
A PDF page is mostly text, lines and flat colour, and that is exactly what PNG stores best. Because it is lossless, letters keep clean edges and thin table lines stay solid, where JPG would add faint smudges around them.
That makes PNG the right pick for a slide or a page you will drop into a presentation, a chart for a report, a diagram for documentation, or a page of a contract you need to show someone as a picture.
Choosing resolution and pages
Your browser draws each page with the same engine many PDF viewers use and saves it as an image, one page at a time, so the original PDF is never changed.
- 150 DPI for screens. Clear on any monitor or phone and a sensible size for slides, emails and documents.
- 300 DPI for print. Use it when the PNG will be printed or zoomed into; files are about four times larger.
- 96 DPI for thumbnails. The smallest files, enough for a preview or a quick look.
- Only the pages you need. Type page numbers such as 2, 5-7 to skip the rest and finish sooner.
How to convert a PDF to PNG
- Choose your PDF or drop it onto the box; on a phone, pick it in the Files app.
- PNG is already chosen. Pick a resolution, and convert every page or type only the ones you need.
- Press Convert to PNG. One page downloads as a single image; several arrive as a numbered ZIP.
How your files stay private
Your browser draws each page and saves it as an image, one page at a time, on your device. The page is locked so it cannot send data to any other website. When you press Start over or close the tab, everything is cleared.
Limits
- One PDF at a time, up to 50 MB
- PDFs that need a password to open can't be converted
- Very large pages are saved at a lower resolution to fit browser limits (about 16 megapixels per image)
- Many pages at 300 DPI can be slow on older phones
Questions
Is PDF to PNG better than PDF to JPG?
For text, tables and drawings, yes - PNG keeps every edge sharp. For scanned photos or picture-heavy pages, JPG gives much smaller files that look just as good, and you can switch to it on the same page.
How big will the PNG files be?
It depends on the page and the resolution. A text page at 150 DPI is usually a few hundred kilobytes; the same page at 300 DPI is roughly four times bigger, and pages full of photos are larger still.
Do PNG pages have a transparent background?
No. Each page is drawn the way a PDF reader shows it, on a white page, so the image looks exactly like the document.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Not if it needs a password to open - the tool can't read the pages. Open it with its password in the program that made it and save an unlocked copy first.
Why is a huge page saved at lower resolution?
Browsers limit how large a single image can be, about 16 megapixels. Very big pages such as posters or plans are scaled to fit, and the tool tells you which pages were affected.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Your browser draws each page and saves it as an image on your own device. The file is never sent to our servers or anyone else's.
