How to convert PDF to PNG

  1. Add your PDF documents

    Drop PDF files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. PNG is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the result. When one file produces several PNG files they come as a single ZIP.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The PDF to PNG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your documents are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

PDF to PNG: what to expect

PNG is the better image target for PDFs that are mostly text, diagrams or line art: there are no compression artefacts around letters, so small type stays readable in a slide or a web page. Every page of the PDF is rendered as an image; files are larger than JPGs of the same pages.

One PDF can produce several PNG files (one per page); when it does, they are offered together as a ZIP download. The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose which pages to convert, set the resolution and set or supply a password.

Pages are drawn at 150 DPI unless you pick another value in Options (up to 600); at the default a US Letter page comes out about 1275 by 1650 pixels. A page that would exceed 16 megapixels is drawn at a lower resolution instead. A password-protected PDF needs its password, entered under Options; without it the file is refused.

PDF vs PNG

PDF

PDF document

PDF fixes a document's layout so it looks identical on every screen and printer. That makes it the default for forms, invoices and anything sent to print, and also what makes it awkward to edit.

PNG

PNG image

PNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

Questions

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF to PNG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting PDF to PNG reduce quality?

Each page is rendered as an image, so sharpness depends on the resolution it is rendered at. You can set the resolution under Options.

Can I convert several PDF files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert PDF to PNG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the PDF file, press Convert and save the PNG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Because nothing is uploaded, the practical limit is your device's memory. Very large files can fail on phones with little free memory; a computer copes better.
