How It Works

1

Upload Your PDF

Drag it in, up to 25MB on a free account. No signup to try it.

2

Leave Pages empty for the whole document, or name the ones you want. Pick 150 DPI for screen, 300 for print.

3

Download the PNGs

One page gives you a single image. Several give you a ZIP with one PNG per page, named after your document. Files are deleted within 24 hours.

Which Resolution Should You Pick?

DPI decides how many pixels each inch of the page becomes. Most free converters choose for you and do not say what they chose. Here is what each setting is for, with the A4 pixel size so you can judge before you convert.

SettingA4 page becomesUse it for
72 DPI595 x 842Thumbnails and quick previews. Body text is readable but soft.
150 DPI1240 x 1754The default. Reading on screen, email attachments, slides.

Why PNG, and What It Will Not Do

PNG stores every pixel exactly, so text edges and thin lines in drawings and charts stay crisp where JPG would soften them. The cost is size: a text page can be several times larger than the same page as JPG. One thing worth knowing before you start, because it disappoints people: the background will be white, not transparent. PDF pages have no alpha channel to preserve, so there is no transparency to carry over, and any tool promising otherwise is simply making the white pixels transparent afterwards.
