PDF to PNG converter

How to use the PDF to PNG converter

  1. Drop a PDF into the upload area, or click to choose one.
  2. Set a page range ('all', or specific like '1-5, 7, 9-11') to render just the pages you want.
  3. Pick a DPI: 72 for on-screen, 150 for general use, 300 for print quality, 600 for archival.
  4. Click 'Render PDF' — each page becomes a PNG preview you can download individually.
  5. Download all pages at once as a ZIP archive when you're converting a full document.

When to use it

Use it to extract figures from research papers, prepare slide exports, create image thumbnails for a PDF library, or pull pages for embedding in a blog post. 150 DPI covers most screen use; go to 300 DPI only when you intend to print. Alternative: ImageMagick's `convert` on the command line handles the same with more control, but requires local installation and Ghostscript — this tool is faster for one-off jobs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PDF to PNG?
Drop a PDF, pick a page range and DPI, and click 'Render PDF'. Pages are rendered in your browser via Mozilla's PDF.js library and offered as individual PNG downloads or a single ZIP.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Rendering happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device — safe for confidential documents, contracts, or personal records.
What DPI should I use for PDF to PNG conversion?
150 DPI for screen viewing and general reuse. 300 DPI for printable output. 600 DPI only if you need archival-grade scans — files get large fast at that resolution.
Can I convert just specific PDF pages to PNG?
Yes. Set the range to '1-5' for the first five pages, '1,3,5' for individual pages, or '1-3,7,10-12' for mixed ranges.
Why is the rendered PNG fuzzy?
Low DPI. PDF is vector-based, so rendering at 72 DPI produces screen-sized bitmaps. Bump the DPI setting to 300 for sharp output when you plan to print or zoom in.
Can this extract images embedded in a PDF?
No — this tool renders each full page as a single image. For extracting individual embedded images (logos, photos placed on a page), you need a dedicated PDF image extractor; this tool renders the page as the reader sees it.
