PDF to PNG — Lossless Page Images, Private

Render each PDF page to a crisp, lossless PNG at the resolution you choose. PNG keeps text edges and line art perfectly sharp and supports transparency, making it ideal for diagrams, screenshots, and pages you'll place into design tools. Rendering runs locally in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded.

How to use this tool

  1. Add your PDF

    Drop a PDF onto the page or browse for it. Each page becomes a separate PNG image.

    Select 72 DPI for compact screen images, 150 DPI for a balanced result, or 300 DPI for high-detail, print-ready output.

  3. Convert to PNG

    Click Convert to PNG. Your browser renders each page to a lossless image locally using pdf.js.

  4. Download the results

    Save PNGs individually, or click "Download all as ZIP" to get every page in one archive assembled in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting to PNG upload my PDF?

No. Every page is rendered to PNG inside your browser using pdf.js and a canvas element. Your document never leaves your device and is never stored on a server, so even sensitive files stay private — something server-based converters cannot offer.

When should I pick PNG over JPG?

Choose PNG when you need lossless quality, razor-sharp text and lines, or transparency — for example diagrams, UI screenshots, logos, or pages you'll edit further in Figma or Photoshop. Pick JPG instead when smaller files matter more than perfect edges, such as color-photo pages.

Are PNG files larger than JPG?

Usually yes, because PNG is lossless and doesn't discard image data the way JPG does. A page rich in photographic color can produce a noticeably bigger PNG. The trade-off is perfect fidelity, which is worth it for graphics, text, and anything you'll edit.

Does PNG output preserve transparency?

PDF pages are rendered onto a white background by default, so the resulting PNGs are opaque. PNG's transparency support is available at the format level, but standard document pages have a solid background and will appear on white in the exported image.

How many images will I get?

One PNG per page — a twenty-page PDF yields twenty images named by page number. When more than one page is converted, the files are packaged into a ZIP so you can download the whole set together in a single click.

Can I convert an encrypted PDF to PNG?

Not until it's unlocked. Password-protected PDFs must first be decrypted with the Unlock PDF tool using the correct password. Then you can render the unprotected copy to PNG, with every step happening locally in your browser.
