Converting PDF to PNG, explained
PNG is the right target when pages carry text, line art, or diagrams: lossless encoding keeps letterforms pixel-crisp where JPG would fuzz their edges. Rendering uses the embedded pdf.js engine at 2× resolution; each page saves as its own numbered PNG via the card's Save button.
Use PDF to JPG instead when pages are photographic and file size matters more than edge sharpness — same engine, different encoder.
PDF pages as images: the use cases
Slides into a deck-review thread, a contract clause screenshot for a chat, documentation figures lifted from a spec, a form page embedded in a knowledge-base article, OCR preprocessing where the recognizer wants images — turning PDF pages into PNGs is everyday glue work. The page-by-page output with numbered filenames means a multi-page document drops into any image-based workflow in order, without manual screenshotting page by page. Sizes are predictable because rendering is fixed at 144 DPI: a Letter page is 1224×1584 pixels, a typical text page weighs 100–400 KB as PNG, and a page dominated by a scanned photo can reach 3–5 MB because lossless encoding keeps every speck of scanner noise.
The privacy angle deserves repeating for this format in particular: PDFs are contracts, statements, medical records, IDs. Rendering with the embedded pdf.js engine keeps every page on your device — the difference between using a converter and mailing your paperwork to one. Two notes for long documents: every page is held in memory until you press Save, so a 200-page manual is better converted in sections, and Save triggers one download per page (report-p1.png, report-p2.png, …), so allow multiple downloads when the browser asks. For OCR, 144 DPI is adequate for body text at 10 points and above; tiny footnotes or dense tables may need a 300 DPI render from a desktop tool, which this converter does not offer.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the PDF to PNG.
01Can I convert only some pages of the PDF?
Not on this page — every page renders, each to its own numbered PNG (report-p1.png, report-p2.png, …). For a subset, print the range you need to a new PDF from any viewer first, then convert that, or convert everything and keep the files you want. Every page is held in memory until you press Save, so a 200-page manual is better done in sections.
02PNG or JPG for my PDF pages?
Text, forms, diagrams, screenshots-of-slides → PNG (crisp edges, no artifacts). Photo-heavy scans → JPG (much smaller). When in doubt, convert one page both ways — the right answer is usually obvious on sight.
03Do the PNG pages have a transparent background?
Every page is flattened onto white before rendering, so no — the PNG pages carry no transparency. PDF pages have no background color of their own (viewers simply paint white behind the content), and a transparent snapshot would look broken on dark themes and in chat apps. Each page is an opaque PNG at twice its point size, about 144 DPI: text pages come out around 100–400 KB, while scanned pages run to several megabytes because PNG is lossless — for scans, PDF to JPG is the leaner choice.
