PDF to PNG turns PDF pages into PNG images, the lossless format that keeps letters, lines and flat colours razor-sharp with none of the blocky artefacts JPEG can add. It is the right choice for charts, slides, technical drawings, logos, sheet music and any page you want to place in a document or design tool without a grey haze around the text.
Tick Transparent to drop the white paper so only the content remains – handy for putting a signature, stamp or logo from a PDF onto a coloured background. Like all our PDF tools, the conversion happens on your own device and the file is never uploaded.

When PNG is better than JPG
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so text and thin lines stay crisp no matter how often you edit and save the image. That makes it ideal for screenshots of documents, diagrams for a wiki, illustrations for slides and assets for web design. The price is file size: a text page at 150 DPI is usually 150–400 KB as PNG, and photo-heavy pages can be several megabytes.
If your PDF is a photo album or a scan, PDF to JPG gives far smaller files with no visible difference. You can always change formats later with PNG to JPG.
About transparent backgrounds
Most PDFs have no painted background – the white you see is just the empty page. With Transparent ticked, that empty area stays see-through in the PNG. Pages that contain a white rectangle or a scanned image will still look white, because that white is part of the content.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to PNG with a transparent background?
Tick Transparent (no white page) before converting. Areas of the page with no content become transparent in the PNG files.
What resolution should I use for printing?
Use 300 DPI. For on-screen use, 150 DPI gives sharp results with smaller files.
Why are the PNG files so large?
PNG is lossless and does not discard detail. For pages with photos, choose PDF to JPG instead, or use a lower DPI.
Do you keep a copy of my PDF?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser; the PDF and the images never reach our servers.
