Your PDF source
Text and vector shapes in the PDF are rendered alongside its pictures. Their page appearance is rasterized, so the resulting image is tied to a specific resolution.

PDF to PNG: what changes?
The PNG result
PNG stores each rendered page without another lossy image encoding. It can be larger than a JPG preview, especially for image-heavy documents.
Explore the PNG converterUp to 30 pages from a PDF of at most 20 MB are supported locally. Multi-page exports are delivered as a ZIP of PNG files.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
PDF and PNG: choose the right result
Use PDF to PNG when the destination needs PNG rather than the original PDF representation. PDF pages are rendered as images. Text and vector objects become pixels, so the image is not an editable PDF document.

|---|---|---|
| What it stores | Document pages containing text, images or both | A raster image |
| Compression | Depends on the page objects and images | Lossless image compression |
| Transparency | Transparency behavior depends on the page content | Supports alpha transparency |
| Typical use | Fixed-layout documents and document sharing | Screenshots, graphics and transparent artwork |

Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG keep editable PDF text?
No. The PNG is a bitmap of the page appearance. Keep the PDF if selectable text or scalable vector content is needed.
Do I receive one long PNG for the whole PDF?
No. The converter renders each PDF page separately. More than one page is delivered as a ZIP of PNG files.
Is text in the PNG editable like PDF text?
No. Text and graphics are rasterized into page pixels. The output does not contain the original selectable text objects.
Can I change the PNG rendering resolution here?
This route currently uses a fixed PDF rendering scale of 1.5. There is no DPI selector in this workspace.
