Free online PDF to PNG converter

PDF to PNG, every page at up to 600 DPI

PDF to PNG is a free, browser-based converter that turns every page of a PDF document into its own PNG image. It needs no signup: drop up to 20 files at once, choose 72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI, and each page comes back as a PNG in seconds — optionally with a transparent background instead of the white sheet.

Add a PDF, pick a resolution, then save the pages one by one or all at once as a ZIP.

    How to convert a PDF to PNG

    Three steps and a few seconds — free, and there is nothing to install.

    1. Add your PDF

      Drag one or more PDFs onto the drop zone, click to browse for them, or paste a file straight from the clipboard with Ctrl+V (⌘V on a Mac). Up to 20 documents per batch, 200 MB each.

    2. Set resolution and pages

      Choose 72, 150, 300 or 600 DPI — 150 is the default and matches on-screen reading. Type a page range such as 1-3, 8, 12- to export only part of the document, and tick Transparent background if you do not want white behind the page.

    3. Save the PNGs

      Each page appears as a thumbnail with its own PNG button. Use Copy to put a single page on the clipboard for pasting into a chat or a slide, or take the whole batch at once as a ZIP archive.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I convert a PDF to PNG for free?
    Drop the PDF onto the box at the top of this page — conversion starts on its own and finishes in seconds. There is no signup, no watermark and no paid tier: the converter is free for every page of every document, including batches of 20 files at a time.
    Does it convert every page or only the first one?
    Every page, each one as its own PNG file. A 40-page document produces 40 numbered images named report-page-01.png through report-page-40.png, and the Download all button packs them into a single ZIP. The ceiling is 500 pages per document.
    What DPI should I pick for a PDF page?
    150 DPI suits almost everything shown on a screen and is the default here; use 300 DPI when the PNG will be printed or cropped, and 72 DPI for quick web previews. 600 DPI exists for archival scans of small print. One caveat: Safari and other WebKit browsers refuse to draw an image larger than about 16 megapixels, so an A4 page at 600 DPI is scaled down there — the tool shows the resolution it actually produced under each file.
    Can I convert only some pages of a PDF?
    Yes — type a page range into the Pages field. It takes single numbers, ranges and open ends, so 1-3, 8, 12- means pages one to three, page eight, and everything from page twelve to the end. Leave the field empty to export the whole document.
    Can I get a PNG with a transparent background?
    Yes. Tick Transparent background and the page is rendered without the white sheet behind it, giving a 32-bit PNG with an alpha channel. This only helps for PDFs whose own content does not paint a background — a scanned page carries its white as image data, so it stays opaque.
    Can I paste a PDF instead of picking a file?
    Yes. Press Ctrl+V (⌘V on a Mac) anywhere on this page and any PDF on the clipboard is added to the queue. Pasted documents arrive without a usable filename, so they are renamed pasted-1.pdf, pasted-2.pdf and so on to keep a batch of them apart.
    Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
    No. The document is parsed and each page is drawn by pdf.js inside the browser tab, so the file itself is never sent anywhere. That is also why a 200 MB PDF starts converting instantly: there is no upload to wait through.
    Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
    No — an encrypted document is reported as password-protected and skipped. Open it in a PDF reader, save a copy without the password, then convert that copy here.

    About this tool

    A PDF describes a page as instructions — draw this glyph here, fill that vector there — while a PNG is a fixed grid of pixels. Converting between them means actually rasterising the page, and the resolution you pick decides how many pixels that grid gets. PDF to PNG does that rasterising with Mozilla's pdf.js, the same rendering engine Firefox uses to display PDFs, so the output matches what a browser would show you.

    PNG is the right target when the page is mostly text, tables or line art: its compression is lossless, so letter edges stay crisp instead of picking up the halos a JPEG would add at the same file size. It is also the format that keeps an alpha channel, which is what makes the transparent-background option possible. If file size matters more than lossless quality, try the PDF to JPG converter instead. Going the other direction? The PNG to PDF converter wraps images back into a PDF document. Need to convert photos? The JPG to PDF converter handles that. Have a mix of image formats? The image to PDF converter accepts PNG, JPG, and WebP in one go. Need to combine several PDFs into one file? The PDF merger joins documents without re-rendering.

    Typical uses: pulling a chart out of a report to drop into a slide deck, turning a scanned contract into images an editor can annotate, or making thumbnails of a multi-page document. For any of those, exporting at 150 DPI and cropping afterwards gives a cleaner result than exporting small and scaling up.

    Where your documents go

    Nowhere. pdf.js parses the document and paints the pages inside this browser tab, so no byte of your PDF is sent to a server, logged or stored. Close the tab and the queue — originals and rendered PNGs alike — is gone with it.
