PDF to PNG
Turn each page of a PDF into a PNG picture at 72 to 288 DPI. Lossless, on a white background; several pages download as a ZIP.
About This Tool
PDF to PNG draws every page of a PDF as a picture and saves it as a PNG file. PNG compression is lossless, so text and line art stay free of the blur and blocks that JPG can add. You can convert all pages or the ones you name, at 72, 144, 216 or 288 DPI.
Each picture shows the whole page on a white background; the PNG has no transparent areas, and text in it can no longer be selected. The tool does not cut single diagrams or photos out of a page: for the pictures stored inside a PDF, use Extract Images from PDF. Under "Page Layout" you can also put several pages side by side in one picture.
All conversion happens in your browser; the PDF is not uploaded.
How to Use
Upload Your PDF
Drag and drop your PDF file or click to select.
Configure Options
Once the file is added, choose a "Resolution" under "Conversion Options" (72, 144, 216 or 288 DPI) and type the pages you want in "Page Range", for example 1-3, 5, 7. Leave the range empty to convert every page.
Convert and Download
Click "Convert to Images". A single page gives a "Download" button for one PNG; several pages give "Download All as ZIP". After changing a setting, click "Convert to Images" again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose PNG over JPG?
PNG is lossless: the edges of text and line art are kept exactly, where JPG smears them slightly. The files are larger, especially for pages with photos. The PNGs made here are opaque, with a white background.
Are transparent backgrounds supported?
No. Every page is drawn on a white background before it is saved, so the PNG has no transparent areas, even where the PDF page has no background of its own.
What DPI should I use?
The choices are 72, 144, 216 and 288 DPI. 144 DPI, the value the tool starts with, suits reading on a screen; for print, take 288 DPI, the highest. Each step up makes the files larger and the conversion slower.
