Convert PDF to PNG

PDF to PNG converter that runs entirely in your browser. 100% free, no signup, no upload — your files never leave your device. One-click batch conversion.

Rasterizing a PDF page to PNG turns vector text and graphics into fixed pixels — crisp at the chosen DPI, but no longer sharp when zoomed. Higher DPI means sharper images and bigger files. Use it for slide thumbnails, sharing a single page in chat, or embedding a page where no PDF viewer is available.

About formats

PDF

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format developed by Adobe in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. PDF is the de facto standard for distributing and printing documents and supports vector and raster graphics, text, hyperlinks, forms, encryption, and digital signatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting PDF to PNG free?
Yes. This PDF → PNG converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert PDF to PNG?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire PDF → PNG conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple PDF files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many PDF files as you like and convert them to PNG in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting PDF to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your PDF file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Will transparency be preserved when converting PDF to PNG?
Yes. Both PDF and PNG support alpha-channel transparency, so transparent areas of your file are kept unchanged in the PNG output.
How will the file size change after converting PDF to PNG?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the PNG output will be similar in size to your PDF file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
