Why this works
Render each page of a PDF as a PNG image \u2014 the right pick when your PDF contains text, line art, or anything with sharp edges, and you need transparent-background output for layouts and design work.
PDF to PNG is the better choice over PDF to JPG when image clarity matters more than file size, when your PDF contains text or sharp line art, or when you need transparent backgrounds for compositing into other designs.
The output is one PNG per page of your source PDF, packaged into a single ZIP archive (or a single PNG file when the source is one page). PNGs are losslessly compressed and preserve transparency \u2014 if your PDF page had a transparent background (uncommon for born-digital PDFs, common for PDFs exported from design tools), that transparency carries into the PNG output. For PDF pages with opaque white backgrounds, the PNGs render those backgrounds as solid white pixels.
Resolution is configurable through quality presets that map to standard DPIs. High quality (300 DPI) is print-grade output \u2014 use it when the PNGs end up on a printed page or in a design layout where every pixel matters. Standard (150 DPI) is screen-grade \u2014 indistinguishable from high on a typical monitor, half the file size. Web (72 DPI) is smallest \u2014 thumbnails, web previews, anywhere bandwidth dominates quality concerns.
For PDF pages containing photographic content (scans of paintings, marketing material with full-bleed images), JPG output may be the better pick \u2014 same visual quality at a fraction of the file size, no human-visible compression artefacts. Use PDF to JPG for photographic content; use PDF to PNG for text-heavy content, screenshots, line art, or anything needing transparency.
If you only need a subset of pages, use Extract Pages first to pull just those pages into a smaller PDF, then run that through PDF to PNG. Avoids generating images for pages you don\u2019t need and keeps the output ZIP focused.

Real-world uses
Designers
Composite PDF pages into a design layout where transparent backgrounds matter.
Web developers
Generate page-thumbnails from a PDF library for a preview gallery.
Educators
Drop PDF pages into a learning-management system that accepts images but not PDFs.
Social-media managers
Post sharp text-heavy PDF pages as image carousels where JPG would soften the text.
Common questions
PNG or JPG \u2014 which should I pick for PDF output?
PNG for text, line art, screenshots, or anything needing transparency. JPG for photographic content (smaller files at indistinguishable quality on screen). When in doubt, PNG is the safe pick for content with sharp edges; JPG is the safe pick for photographs.
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes. PNG supports transparency natively, and any transparent regions in the source PDF page carry into the PNG output. Most born-digital PDFs have opaque white backgrounds so this only matters for designer-produced PDFs.
What resolution should I pick?
Standard (150 DPI) for almost every on-screen use \u2014 emails, web embeds, slides. High (300 DPI) for print output. Web (72 DPI) for thumbnails or large-volume web previews where file size dominates.
How big will the output ZIP be?
Substantially larger than the source PDF, especially at High quality. A 10-page PDF at 300 DPI can produce a 30\u201360 MB ZIP. Drop to Standard or Web quality if file size matters; or use PDF to JPG for photographic content.
Can I select specific pages?
Not directly. Workflow: use Extract Pages first to pull the pages you want into a smaller PDF, then run PDF to PNG on that.
Will the PNGs preserve text as text?
No \u2014 PNG is a raster format, so text on the PDF page becomes pixel data in the PNG. For editable text output, use PDF to Word or PDF to TXT instead.
