How to convert PDF pages to PNG

A PNG of a PDF page is a picture of that page: something you can put in a slide, a document editor, a design tool or a form that only takes images. PDF to PNG draws the pages you choose in your browser and saves them as PNG files. Here is the whole path, from opening the file to saving the images.

Open your PDF

Drop the file on the page or use Add PDF. The PDF is read on your device; it is not uploaded to a server for the conversion. PDF to PNG works on one PDF at a time — if you drop several, the first one is opened.

A PDF that is password-protected or restricted cannot be opened here, and no password is asked for.

Keep the pages you need

When the document opens, every page is selected. You take away what you don’t need:

For a single page, the quickest way is Clear, then tap that page. Whatever order you pick pages in, the images come out in the order the pages have in the document.

Pick a resolution

Open the settings panel and choose one of three resolutions:

OptiondpiAn A4 page becomes
Compact96793 × 1123 px
Standard (default)1501240 × 1754 px
High3002479 × 3508 px

Each option shows the pixel size of your first selected page before you save. At High, the panel also reminds you that a PNG can get large — Choosing a resolution for PDF to PNG explains when 300 dpi is worth it.

There is no format to choose: PDF to PNG always saves PNG.

Save

While the pages are being drawn, the save button shows a counter such as “3 / 12”. Cancel stops the job, and nothing is downloaded after a cancel. If something fails, Try again runs the job again.

On a phone

The steps are the same: tap pages to remove or add them, or type a range with the phone’s keyboard. After saving, Download again gives you the same files without drawing the pages again. If your browser can share files, Share passes the PNG images themselves to another app on your phone. How a ZIP is opened depends on the phone; Saving several PDF pages as PNG covers that.
