PDF to PNG Converter

1. Tap Choose PDF files and select your PDF, or drag the file in from your desktop.
2. Set the format to PNG and pick a resolution: 150, 300 or 600 DPI, or any custom value from 72 to 1200 DPI.
3. Choose the pages. Keep all of them, tick only the ones you need, or type a range such as 2-4, 9.
4. Save. A single page downloads as one PNG; several pages come together in one ZIP, numbered in page order.

There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit, so you can run the same PDF again with a different resolution as often as you like.

Both formats show the same page. What differs is how the pixels are stored when the file is saved.

If the PDF is mostly text, tables or drawings, PNG gives the cleanest result. If it is full of photos, or the image has to be small, JPG is the better trade, and the PDF to JPG converter handles that case.

A PNG keeps every pixel it is given, so sharpness comes down to how many pixels you ask for. That is what the DPI setting controls: page width in inches multiplied by DPI gives the image width in pixels.

• 150 DPI: an A4 page comes out at about 1240 × 1754 px. Plenty for screens, slides and chat.
• 300 DPI: about 2480 × 3508 px for A4, and exactly 2550 × 3300 px for US Letter. Right for printing and close zooming.
• 600 DPI: about 4961 × 7016 px for A4. For small print, maps, floor plans and detailed artwork.
• Custom, 72 to 1200 DPI: any value in between, or more detail still.

Because nothing is thrown away, PNG files grow quickly as the DPI rises. Choose the lowest setting that still looks right for the job.

The DPI is recorded inside each PNG, so print and layout apps open the image at the page's real size. When a page is more than your browser can hold at that DPI, it is rendered at the highest DPI that fits, and a note tells you.

Nothing needs installing, because the converter runs in the browser you already have. In Safari on an iPhone or iPad, Choose PDF files opens the Files app, so you can pick a PDF you saved from Mail or downloaded earlier. The finished PNGs, or a ZIP of them, show up in the Downloads folder of that same app.

On Android, look in Downloads. On a Mac or a Windows PC, check wherever your browser saves files.

Big PDFs and high DPI values need a lot of memory, and phones have less of it. If a page comes out at a reduced resolution, or a large file refuses to open, drop the DPI and try again.

Converting PDF to PNG here involves no server. The page's own code, built on Mozilla's pdf.js and served from this domain, opens the file and draws each page on your device. The site has no upload endpoint at all.

Password-protected PDFs work too. Type the password on the page; it is used to open the file in your browser and is not sent anywhere. A wrong password is reported, and you can try again.

• Grayscale: drop the color, which suits text documents and forms.
• One long image: stack the selected pages top to bottom in a single picture, centred on the widest page.
• Mixed page sizes: each page keeps its own size and the rotation stored in the PDF.
• Whole documents: every selected page is saved, and the ZIP keeps them in page order with zero-padded numbers.

To go back the other way, JPG to PDF combines PNG and JPG images into one PDF. If you want the words rather than pictures of them, convert the PDF to Markdown instead.
