About PDF to PNG

PDF to PNG renders each page as a lossless PNG. Unlike JPEG, PNG introduces no compression artefacts around sharp edges, which makes it the better format for diagrams, line art, screenshots and pages with crisp text.

The trade-off is size: a PNG of a photographic page is substantially larger than the JPEG equivalent. For photo-heavy documents, PDF to JPG usually gives a better size-to-quality balance.

How to use PDF to PNG

  1. Choose your PDF.
  2. Set the rendering scale — higher values give sharper output and larger files.
  3. Render the pages.
  4. Download the PNGs as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

Do PNG exports have transparent backgrounds?

No. Pages are rendered onto a white background, matching how the document appears in a viewer and when printed.

Why are my PNG files so large?

PNG is lossless, so photographic content stays big. Lower the rendering scale, or use PDF to JPG for image-heavy pages.
