How PDF to PNG works here

  1. Drop the file. The PDF opens in a worker in your tab. Password-protected files open when you type the password.
  2. Pick the pages and the resolution. All pages or a range like 2, 5-7, and 72 to 600 dpi. Choose a transparent background to keep only what is drawn on the page.
  3. Download. Pages are drawn one at a time and written as PNG with the resolution recorded in the file. One page downloads as a file; several arrive as a zip.

What it does

  • Draws text, vector art, images, annotations and filled form fields as a viewer would.
  • Writes lossless PNG, so text stays crisp.
  • Leaves the background transparent on request.
  • Handles 500 page files page by page.

What it does not do

  • It does not extract the images embedded in a PDF; that is Extract images from PDF.
  • It does not shrink the result; a 600 dpi A4 page is a large file.
  • It cannot open a file whose password you do not have.

Questions

PNG or JPG?

PNG for text, diagrams and anything with sharp edges, and for a transparent background. JPG for photographs where a smaller file matters.

What is a transparent background good for?

Placing a page's content over a colour or a picture in a slide or a web page without a white box around it.

How big are the images?

An A4 page at 150 dpi is 1240 by 1754 pixels. The file size depends on how much is on the page.

Does my file leave my computer?

No. Everything runs in your browser tab. The only network requests are the site's own files.
