To turn a PDF into PNG images, choose the document, select the pages, and set the resolution. PNG works well for text, tables, diagrams, and line art because it avoids JPEG compression artifacts. Every page is rendered locally in your browser.

Four simple steps

  1. 1

    Select the PDF in PDF to Images.

  2. 2

    Choose PNG as the image format.

  3. 3

    Use 2x for normal work or 3x when extra detail is required.

  4. 4

    Choose all pages or a range, then save the PNG or ZIP.

Tips for the best result

  • Higher resolution increases image size and memory usage.
  • Multiple pages are bundled with numbered filenames in a ZIP.
  • Text becomes part of an image and is no longer selectable.

When PNG is the right choice

Pasting figures into slides, publishing PDF content on a web page, archiving forms with crisp text — anywhere edge sharpness matters, PNG is the format to pick.

PNG compression is lossless, so there are no JPEG-style block artifacts and thin rules or small text stay clean.

Choosing a resolution

1x renders at the PDF's nominal size, while 2x and 3x multiply the pixel dimensions. Use 2x for screens and documents, 3x for print or close-up viewing.

Higher resolutions cost file size and processing time, so combine them with page ranges on long documents.

About the converted images

Rendered pages are pure images: text can no longer be selected or searched. Keep the original PDF alongside the images when you may need its text later.

What to do with the PNGs

Converted pages paste cleanly into PowerPoint or Word, publish on web pages, and share as single pages in chat — places where a PDF is awkward.

Since every page is a standalone image, you can annotate just the pages you need in any image editor.
