Your file never leaves your browser
PNG is the better choice over JPG when a PDF page has sharp text, line art, or needs a lossless image — for example a diagram or a form. This tool renders every page of your PDF to a PNG using pdf.js and the Canvas API, entirely in your browser, then lets you download each page individually. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Lossless output for text and line art
PNG compresses without discarding any pixel data, which makes it the right choice when a page is text, a form, a table, or a diagram. JPG's lossy compression produces faint halos and blocking around high-contrast edges — barely visible on a photograph, clearly visible on black text against white paper. If the converted page will be read rather than just glanced at, or will be enlarged, cropped, or re-edited later, PNG preserves it exactly.
The trade-off is file size
Because nothing is discarded, PNG files are substantially larger than the JPG equivalent — often several times larger for a full page. For a handful of pages that rarely matters. For a long document where the images will be emailed or uploaded, the JPG version may be the more practical choice, and for scanned photographic pages JPG is genuinely the better format rather than merely the smaller one.
Rendered at 2x for detail
Each page is drawn at twice its nominal dimensions, so fine print and thin diagram lines survive at a usable resolution. Combined with PNG's lossless storage, that makes this the highest-fidelity way to turn a PDF page into an image in the browser. If you need the result even sharper for large-format printing, converting at source from the original document is better than enlarging afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
- Why choose PNG over JPG for PDF pages?
- PNG is lossless, so text and sharp lines stay crisp — better for diagrams, forms, and screenshots than JPG's lossy compression.
- Does this convert the whole PDF into one image?
- No, each page is rendered as its own separate PNG that you download individually.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No, rendering happens locally in your browser using pdf.js and Canvas. Nothing is sent anywhere.
- Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
- You'll need to unlock a password-protected PDF first — this tool doesn't handle encrypted files.
- Does PNG preserve transparency from the PDF?
- Pages are rendered onto an opaque background, so the output is a solid image rather than a transparent one.
- Which should I pick, PNG or JPG?
- PNG for text, forms, tables, and diagrams; JPG for photographic pages or when file size is the priority.
