About the PDF to PNG
This tool renders every page of your PDF into a PNG with Ghostscript, at 72, 150 or 300 dpi. PNG is lossless, so you get the page drawn pixel for pixel with no compression artefacts — the right choice for pages built from text, tables, diagrams or line art, where JPG’s smoothing shows up around hard edges. Anti-aliasing is applied to text and graphics so type renders cleanly.
Reach for it when a page has to become an image you will crop, annotate or place in a document without quality creeping away. If your pages are mostly photographs, PDF to JPG produces far smaller files for barely any visible difference.
Two honest points. PNG supports transparency as a format, but pages here are rendered onto an opaque background — you will not get a transparent PNG out of this tool, whatever the page looked like. And rasterising is one-way: the output is pixels, so text stops being text and cannot be selected, searched or edited afterwards, and there is no OCR on this server to reverse that. Expect large files at 300 dpi. One page returns a single PNG; multiple pages come back as a ZIP. Your file is uploaded, processed under a random name in a folder blocked from web access, and deleted when the request ends. One file, 20 MB.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
No. Pages are rendered onto an opaque background, so the output is always fully opaque even though the PNG format could store transparency.
PNG or JPG?
PNG for text, screenshots, diagrams and anything with sharp edges, because it is lossless. JPG for photo-heavy pages, where it is much smaller and the loss is invisible.
Which dpi should I choose?
150 for screen use, 300 for printing or close zooming, and 72 only when size matters more than clarity. Values outside that range are clamped.
Can I edit the text afterwards?
No. The page becomes a flat image, and there is no OCR here, so text cannot be extracted from the result.
Do I get one file or a ZIP?
A single PNG for a one-page PDF; a ZIP of page-001.png, page-002.png and so on for multi-page documents.
