Convert PDF to PNG
Pixel-perfect PNGs of PDF pages, rendered on your device with no compression artefacts.
Done
Open the network tab. It stays empty.
Add files and run the tool to see every request this tab makes.
Your files are processed on this device and never sent to a server. Reload the page to clear everything from memory.
PNG is the right format for PDF pages with text, tables, line drawings or anything that will be edited further, because it is lossless: no blocky artefacts around letters, and the image can be re-saved as many times as you like. This page renders each page with pdf.js inside your browser and saves a PNG at the resolution you choose.
Files are larger than JPG, especially at 300 DPI. If the pages are photographs and size matters, the PDF to JPG page is the smaller option. Either way, the PDF never leaves your device.
How it works
- Drop a PDF, or tap to pick one.
- Choose all pages or a range, and the resolution.
- Convert. One page downloads directly; several pages download as a zip.
In your browser, not on a server
pdf.js renders each page to a canvas at the resolution you choose, the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs. The browser encodes each page as JPG or PNG, and if there is more than one they are zipped in your tab with fflate.
Compared with upload-based tools: Online PDF-to-image tools rasterise your document on their server and often limit you to the first few pages. Here every page is rendered locally, at any resolution, with no page cap.
Verify it yourself. Load this page, turn off Wi-Fi or switch to airplane mode, and run the tool. Or open your browser's developer tools (F12, or Cmd-Option-I on a Mac), pick the Network tab, and watch it while you convert. The panel above does the same count for you.
Questions
Is the PNG background transparent?
No. PDF pages are rendered on a white page as a viewer would show them, so the PNG has a white background.
Which resolution should I choose?
150 DPI for screens and slides, 300 DPI for print. A Letter page at 300 DPI is 2550 by 3300 pixels.
Can I turn a whole PDF into PNGs at once?
Yes. Leave "All pages" selected and every page is rendered and delivered as one zip file.
Is the file uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no server in this process. The page is a static file and the work is done by code running inside your browser tab. You can load the page, turn off Wi-Fi, and it still works.
