When is it useful? PDF to PNG is the best choice when you want page images with very sharp text and lines — for example to put a chart, a table or a diagram from a PDF into a presentation or a website.
Good to know: PNG is lossless, so there are no blurry JPEG artefacts, but files are larger than JPG. Pick 96, 150 or 300 DPI depending on how sharp you need the pages; every page becomes its own PNG file.
| Your PDF | Result in PNG |
|---|---|
| Text and lines | Very sharp (lossless) |
| Charts, tables, diagrams | Best format for them |
| Photo-heavy pages | PDF to JPG gives smaller files |
| File size | Larger than JPG |
| Each page | Its own PNG file |

PNG is a lossless picture format: it keeps every pixel exactly, so text, thin lines, charts, tables and diagrams stay crisp with no blurry blocks around the letters. That makes PNG the best choice when a PDF page will be placed in a presentation, a website, a design or a document where sharpness matters.
Each PDF page is drawn as a PDF viewer would show it and saved as its own PNG file, named with the page number. You choose the sharpness: 96 DPI for screens, 150 DPI for normal use, or 300 DPI for printing and zooming. Multi-page PDFs are downloaded as one ZIP with all the PNG files inside, or one by one from the file list.
PNG wins for pages with text, charts, maps and line drawings. For pages full of photographs, PNG files become much larger than JPG without a visible gain, so PDF to JPG is usually the better choice there.
The files are very large: choose 150 DPI instead of 300, or use PDF to JPG for photo pages. You only need part of a page, such as one chart: convert the page, then cut out the part with Crop Image. The PDF needs a password: it must be unlocked first.
Pick the lowest DPI that still looks sharp where the image will be used, keep the original PDF, and name the exported pictures clearly if you send them to others.
