PDF to PNG saves each page of a PDF as a lossless PNG image. PNG keeps text edges, charts and line art perfectly sharp, which makes it the better choice for slides, technical drawings, screenshots and anything you will zoom into or edit later.
When PNG is the right choice
| You are converting | Best format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Slides, diagrams, charts | PNG | Flat colours and thin lines stay crisp |
| Text you will crop or annotate | PNG | No compression artefacts around letters |
| Scanned pages and photos | JPG | Much smaller files, difference is hard to see |
| Images for email or chat | JPG | Smaller attachments |
PNG is already selected on this page. You can switch to JPG at any time. Going the other way? Use PNG to PDF.
Tips for the best result
- Use High (300 DPI) if you plan to print the images or read small footnotes.
- Use Standard (150 DPI) for websites, documents and presentations. Files are about four times smaller than at 300 DPI.
- To convert only one page, use the Download button under that page instead of downloading all pages.
