PDF to PNG Converter Free

A PDF page has no pixels. You choose how many it gets.

Most PDFs are drawn from instructions, like a recipe, so they're sharp at any zoom. A PNG is a fixed grid of pixels. Tell us where the image is going and we'll pick the resolution: too low looks fuzzy, too high makes huge files.

~/two-ways-out

Photograph the page, or pull out the photos?

"PDF to JPG" means two different jobs. Pick the wrong one and you'll either get a picture of a whole page when you wanted the product shot on it, or loose photos when you wanted the page.

~/why-png-for-documents

Text and charts stay crisp in PNG. JPG smudges them.

JPG is designed for photos and blurs sharp edges into a grey haze. Documents are mostly sharp edges on flat white, which PNG stores exactly and compresses well. Choose what's on the page to see which format wins.

PNG wins: letter edges stay razor sharp and the file is smaller.

JPG (quality 85)410 KB

Grey fringes and blocky smudges around every letter, and the file is bigger.

~/two-kinds-of-pdf

Scanned PDFs already have pixels. More dpi won't add detail.

A scanned page is a photo inside a PDF. Exporting above its scan resolution just makes each original pixel bigger. We detect this and default to the scan's own resolution.

descriptionDigital PDFexported from Word, Excel, InDesignText and shapes are instructions. Any dpi you pick comes out sharp; higher simply means more pixels.

document_scannerScanned PDFfrom a scanner or scanning appEach page is already an image, usually 200-300 dpi. We export at that resolution unless you choose otherwise.

Twelve pages, twelve PNGs. Take only the ones you need.

PNG holds one image, so each page becomes its own file, zipped together when there are several. Click pages to leave them out; the total updates using your resolution above.
