- 4 Press Convert to PNG. Several pages download together in a ZIP file.
PNG or JPG for PDF pages?
PNG is lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly. That makes it the right choice for pages with text, tables, charts, logos and line drawings, which can look fuzzy as JPG. The trade-off is size: a 300 dpi PNG of a text page can be several megabytes.
Choose a transparent background when you want to place a logo or diagram from a PDF onto another design. For photos and scans, PDF to JPG gives much smaller files. To combine PNG screenshots into a document, use PNG to PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, so it is safe for bank statements, contracts and ID documents. Once the page has loaded, the tool even works offline.
When should I use PNG instead of JPG?
Use PNG for pages with text, charts, line art or transparency, where sharp edges matter. Use JPG for photos and scans, where smaller files matter more.
How does the transparent background work?
Areas of the page with no content are left transparent instead of white. Pages that have their own white background will still be white.
Why are PNG files bigger than JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression, so it never blurs details, but files are larger, especially at 300 dpi.
Can I convert one page only?
Yes. Type the page number in the Pages box.
Will the colours be accurate?
Yes. Pages are rendered as a PDF reader shows them on screen.
Is there a page limit?
No fixed limit, but converting hundreds of pages at 300 dpi needs a lot of memory on phones.
Can I convert a single page to PNG for a presentation?
Yes. Type the page number, choose 150 dpi for slides or 300 dpi for printing, and the PNG downloads straight away.
How are the PNG files named?
Each image is named after your PDF and its page number, such as brochure-page-2.png, so they stay in order inside the ZIP file.
Can I convert scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages convert like any other page, although PNG files of photos and scans are large, so JPG is often a better choice.
How this tool works. These PDF tools run entirely in your browser using two widely used open-source libraries: PDF.js, the PDF engine built into Firefox, to read and render pages, and pdf-lib to create and edit files. Each tool is tested with typed documents, phone scans and photo-heavy files before it goes live, and nothing you open is sent to a server.
