How to convert PDF to PNG
- Add your .PDF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .PNG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .PNG file.
What to expect
- Each PDF page becomes a separate PNG file - a 5-page PDF produces 5 PNGs.
- Resolution matters: 150 dpi is adequate for web use, 300 dpi for print. Higher dpi means larger file sizes.
- Text in the PNG is pixel data - it cannot be selected, copied, or searched after conversion.
Frequently asked questions
Will a multi-page PDF produce multiple PNG files?
Yes - each page is exported as a separate PNG. Tools like pdftoppm and ImageMagick number them automatically; online converters usually deliver them as a ZIP.
What resolution should I use?
Use 150 dpi for screen or web use and 300 dpi if the image will be printed or inserted into a high-resolution document.
Why does the converted PNG look blurry?
The export resolution was set too low. Re-convert at 150-300 dpi. With ImageMagick, make sure
-density 300 appears before the input filename, not after.Should I use PNG or JPEG for PDF pages?
PNG is better for pages with text, tables, and lines because it is lossless. JPEG compresses better for photo-heavy pages where file size is a concern.
