PDF to PNG Converter

Turn a PDF page or range into downloadable PNG images.

Upload a file

Pick pages or ranges

Type a single page, a list such as 1,3-5, or all. Up to 25 pages can be exported at once. One page downloads as a PNG, and several download as a ZIP whose images are numbered by page, such as page-003.png.

Three resolutions

Render at 72, 150 or 300 DPI. PNG is lossless, so text and line art stay crisp at any of them. Pages are drawn on a white background, and a preview of the first exported page appears before you download.

The PDF stays on your device

Your browser opens and renders the file itself. Nothing is uploaded, which makes the tool suitable for contracts, statements and other documents you would rather not send to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a PDF to PNG?

Choose the PDF, enter the pages you want in the Pages box, pick a resolution and select Convert to PNG. A preview of the first exported page appears with a download button. The box starts at page 1, so type all or a range such as 2-6 if you need more than the first page.

Can I convert several pages at once?

Yes, up to 25 pages per export. Separate pages and ranges with commas, for example 1,4,7-10, or type all for a document of 25 pages or fewer. For a longer PDF, export it in batches such as 1-25 and then 26-50. A multi-page export arrives as one ZIP file.

Which DPI should I choose?

150 DPI is the default and suits slides, documents and web pages: an A4 page becomes about 1,240 × 1,754 pixels. Choose 300 DPI when the image will be printed or when small text must stay sharp after zooming, and 72 DPI for thumbnails. Higher DPI means larger files and more memory, so on a phone try 150 DPI first.

Why do I see "This export is too large"?

Each page can be at most 16 megapixels and 8,192 pixels on a side, and one export can total 64 megapixels and 64 MiB. At 300 DPI an A4 or Letter page is between 8 and 9 megapixels, so about seven pages fit in one export, and an A3 page is too big on its own. Lower the resolution or select fewer pages.

Does the PNG have a transparent background or selectable text?

No. Each page is drawn on an opaque white background, the way it looks in a PDF viewer, and the PNG is a picture of the page, so its text cannot be selected. To get the words out of an image or a scanned page, use Image to Text.

Why will my PDF not open?

Password-protected PDFs are refused, so remove the password in the application that created the file and try again. Files over 30 MiB are not accepted, and a damaged or incomplete download produces an unable-to-open message.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The page uses its own copy of the PDF.js renderer and reads your file locally. Rendering, PNG encoding and ZIP creation all happen in your browser.

Should I use PDF to PNG or PDF to JPG?

PNG keeps every pixel exactly, which is best for text, diagrams, screenshots and line art. JPG files are much smaller for pages that are mostly photographs. This tool converts up to 25 pages in your browser. PDF to JPG converts one page per run on Zutilium's server and lets you set the JPEG quality.
