How to use it

How to use PDF to PNG

  1. Drop your PDFs into the workspace or pick them with the file picker. Up to 10 PDFs per batch, 100 MB per file. Files stay in your browser; PDF.js loads each one locally.
  2. Choose a render scale. 1 for smaller PNGs, 2 for balanced, 3 for the sharpest output. The slider value applies to every page in the batch.
  3. Click Convert to PNG. Each page is rendered to PNG and shown as a card; download individual pages or grab everything as a single ZIP.

Good for

Common use cases

Convert PDF to PNG when another app needs an image instead of a PDF page. PNG suits pages with text, line art, charts, logos, and interface screenshots. It avoids the compression artefacts that JPEG can add around sharp edges. This tool renders every page locally with PDF.js. Source PDFs and rendered PNGs stay on your device. Multi-page PDFs return as a ZIP with one PNG per page. The tool suits slide decks, reports, research papers, manuals, and design reviews. Use it when a website or document editor cannot show a PDF page inline. Choose 1x for smaller images, 2x for balanced output, or 3x for more pixels. The selected scale applies to every page in the batch. You can process up to 10 PDFs. Each source file can be up to 100 MB. Download one page when you need a single figure or slide. Download the ZIP when you need every page. A multi-file ZIP uses a separate folder for each source PDF. Use Extract PDF Pages first when you only need selected pages from a long document.

Features

What this tool handles

  • Render every PDF page as a PNG with PDF.js. Higher scales create more pixels for text, charts, and vector source content
  • Pick render scale 1 / 2 / 3. Scale 2 is the default and balances file size against on-screen sharpness for typical Retina displays
  • Convert multiple PDFs in one batch. Every page from every PDF is rendered, then bundled into a single ZIP with one folder per source PDF
  • Transparent-friendly PNG output: pages with transparent overlays in the source PDF (less common, but real for design exports) round-trip alpha into the PNG instead of flattening to white
  • Browser-local. PDFs and rendered PNGs stay on your device, with no server-side processing, no sign-up and no watermark

Questions

PDF to PNG: common questions

Why pick PNG over JPEG when converting a PDF?

PNG preserves the rendered pixels without JPEG compression. This helps pages with text, charts, logos, and interface screenshots. JPEG can add visible artefacts around sharp colour changes. PNG files can be larger, especially for photo-heavy pages. Use PDF to Image when a smaller JPEG is more important than lossless rendered pixels.

What does the render scale actually control?

Scale controls the pixel dimensions used during rasterisation. Scale 1 uses the page's natural rendering size. Scale 2 doubles each dimension, and scale 3 triples each dimension. Higher scales can show more source detail, but they also create larger files. The result has fixed pixel dimensions. Enlarging it beyond those dimensions can reduce sharpness.

Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere when I convert them?

No. PDF.js renders pages in your browser. There is no file upload, server processing, or third-party conversion API. The source PDF and resulting PNGs stay on your device. This limits file exposure for private documents. You can inspect the browser Network panel during conversion to confirm that no file upload occurs.

How are multi-page PDFs delivered, and what about multiple PDFs at once?

Each page becomes one PNG. Names use the pattern pdf-base-name-page-01.png. Two-digit padding keeps files in order for PDFs with up to 99 pages. For longer PDFs, sort by page number instead of filename. A multi-file ZIP uses one folder for each source PDF. If you need only a few pages, first use Extract PDF Pages. Then convert the smaller PDF here.

Will the rendered PNG match the page exactly, including embedded fonts and vector graphics?

PDF.js supports common PDF content, including embedded fonts, vector paths, transparency, blend modes, and many colour spaces. It rasterises the page at the selected scale. An unembedded font can produce a different result. In that case, PDF.js uses an available substitute font. Compare the PNG with the source when exact typography is important.

Will this tool stay free?

Yes. Everything this tool does is free. On some tools, a Day or Project Pass raises the file-size and batch limits if you need more.

More about PDF to PNG

How to convert a PDF to PNG

Drop one PDF, or up to 10 PDFs, onto this page. Choose a quality setting, then select Convert to PNG. Download single pages or get all pages in a ZIP. The tool converts every page in each PDF.

Which quality setting should I use?

Smaller file renders at 1x the page size. Balanced renders at 2x. Best quality renders at 3x. Higher settings create more pixels and larger files. Balanced suits most screens and slides. Use Best quality for close inspection or larger displays. Check the result before print use.

How to get only one page as PNG

The tool converts every page. Each page has its own download button, so you can save only the page you need. For a long PDF, first use Extract PDF Pages to make a smaller source file.

Converting PDF to PNG on a Mac or Windows

This page works in any current browser. On a Mac, Preview can export the current page. Select File, then Export, and choose PNG. Windows has no built-in PDF to PNG export. A browser tool is usually the simplest option.

PNG or JPG?

PNG keeps text and line art crisp. It also supports transparency, but its files are larger. For photos or scanned pages, use PDF to Image when a smaller JPEG is more important.
