PDF to PNG

When PNG beats JPG

JPG keeps photo-heavy pages small, but for text, tables, drawings and logos PNG is sharper: it's lossless, so there are no smudges around letters, and the background can be transparent. Each page becomes a PNG; one page downloads as a file, several as a ZIP.

Transparent background

With “Transparent”, any area the PDF doesn't paint stays transparent. Logos, stamps, signatures and drawings exported from design software usually have no white background, so you can drop them straight onto other images or documents. Scans and PDFs that paint a white rectangle behind every page will still look white — removing that requires image editing (for example, the white-background removal in Signature Maker).

Choosing a resolution

• 72 dpi — actual on-screen size; for the web or previews.
• 150 dpi — good for pasting into reports or sending in chat.
• 300 dpi — for print. An A4 page becomes about 2480×3508 px, and files get large.

Need smaller files? Use PDF to JPG, or shrink the PNGs with Resize Image. Images don't contain selectable text, so keep the original PDF too. Files are converted on this device and never uploaded.
