Everything you need to convert PDF to PNG
Lossless, pixel-perfect PNG output
PNG preserves every pixel exactly — no compression artifacts. Ideal for text, diagrams, and pages you'll edit further or zoom into.
Convert any page — or all of them
Preview every page as a thumbnail and select exactly which ones you need, from a single page to the entire document.
High-resolution output up to 288 dpi
Choose Standard, High, or Ultra resolution depending on whether you need a quick preview or a print-ready image.
100% private — nothing uploaded
PDF.js renders your pages entirely in your browser. Your document never touches any server. Ideal for sensitive reports or confidential designs.
One-click ZIP download
Download individual PNG pages with a click, or grab the whole set as a single ZIP file named after your original PDF.
Switch to JPG anytime

Built for anyone who needs lossless pages
Whether you're pulling a diagram out of a report, exporting a design mockup, or archiving a document losslessly — PixelTools converts your PDF pages to PNG in seconds, free, with no upload.
Export design mockups losslessly
Pull a page out of a design PDF as a crisp PNG for a presentation or handoff, without the compression softness JPG would introduce.
Preserve diagrams and line art
Charts, wireframes, and technical diagrams keep sharp edges and flat colors in PNG — JPG's compression tends to blur fine lines.
Extract pages for further editing
Bring a PDF page into Photoshop, Figma, or another editor as a lossless PNG layer instead of a re-compressed JPG.
Use PDF pages on the web
Embed a PDF page as a PNG on a website or blog when you need crisp text or a transparent background — no PDF plugin required.
Share a single page instantly
Send a single high-quality page over Slack or email as a PNG that opens instantly on any device, no PDF viewer needed.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert a PDF page to PNG instead of JPG?
+
PNG is lossless, so text, line art, and diagrams stay pixel-perfect with no compression artifacts — and unlike JPG, PNG supports transparency if your PDF page has a transparent or non-white background. JPG is usually the better choice for photo-heavy pages since it produces smaller files.
Will the PNG file be bigger than the original PDF page?
+
Often yes. PNG's lossless compression keeps every pixel exact, which typically makes it 3-5x larger than an equivalent JPG. If file size matters more than pixel-perfect accuracy, use our PDF to JPG converter instead.
Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?
+
No. PixelTools runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js and the Canvas API. Your file is never sent to any server — it stays on your device throughout the process.
Can I convert only specific pages to PNG?
+
Yes. After uploading, you see a thumbnail of every page. Click to select or deselect individual pages, or use Select All / Deselect All. Only the selected pages are converted.
What resolution should I use for PNG output?
+
High (192 dpi) is recommended for most uses — sharp and readable without being enormous. Choose Ultra (288 dpi) if you need to zoom into fine details or print at large sizes.
Is this PDF to PNG converter free?
+
Yes — completely free, no account required, no watermarks, no file size limits beyond what your browser can handle.
Does it support password-protected PDFs?
+
Password-protected PDFs are not currently supported. Remove the password protection in your PDF reader first, then upload here.
