Convert PDF to PNG
Turn the pages of a PDF into lossless PNG images. Everything happens in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
Why convert PDF to PNG?
A PDF is a document, not an image, so you can't drop its pages into a slide, a post, an image editor or an image upload field. PNG is lossless, supports transparency and opens everywhere, which makes it the safe format for editing, screenshots and graphics.
One image per page
Each page of the PDF becomes its own PNG file, named like report-page-2.png. When a PDF has several pages you can download them together as a zip.
Pages are rendered as images, so text becomes pixels: it can no longer be selected or searched, and it won't stay sharp if you zoom in a long way.
The background stays as it is
PDF pages are rendered on their white page background, so the PNG keeps the same solid background. PNG supports transparency, but a converter can't tell which pixels are "background". To get a transparent PNG, remove the background in an editor first.

Questions
How are PDFs with several pages converted?
Every page becomes a separate PNG file, numbered by page. With more than one page you can download them all at once as a zip.
Will converting PDF to PNG reduce quality?
Each page is rendered as a PNG image. Text and vector graphics become pixels, so they look right at normal viewing size but won't stay sharp if you zoom in far.
Are my PDF documents uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, on your own device, so your documents are never sent to a server. Once the page and converter have loaded, it keeps working even if your connection drops.
