How to convert a PDF to PNG
- Open the PDF whose pages you want as pictures.
- Every page starts selected. Select only the ones you need, or leave them all.
- Choose a resolution — 72 DPI for the screen, 150 DPI for most uses, 300 DPI for print, or your own number — and whether the background stays white or transparent.
- Select Convert, then Download: one page saves as one PNG, several save as a ZIP with one picture per page.
Drawn on this device, one page at a time, without loss
PDFCheetah draws each selected page at the resolution you chose — a page’s own points at that many pixels per inch, turned the way the file turns it, cropped the way the file crops it — and saves the drawing as a PNG. Nothing is compressed away: every pixel the page was drawn with is the pixel in the file, which is why text, lines and diagrams stay crisp and why the files are larger than a JPG’s. Pages are drawn one at a time, so a long document costs no more memory than a short one. Before the download appears, PDFCheetah opens your PDF again on this device, checks that every picture is the size that page should be, and decodes a sample of them to prove they open.
Transparent backgrounds
A PDF page has no color of its own — a viewer paints white behind it. With the background left white, the picture looks like the page did on screen. With Transparent background on, anything the page leaves unpainted stays see-through in the PNG, which is what a logo, a stamp or a signature block needs when it is going onto another page or a slide.
Current limitations
A PNG is a picture of the page: its text cannot be selected or searched, and links and form fields stop working. Pictures already inside the PDF are not pulled out as their original files — every page is drawn afresh. A page too large for this device to draw at the chosen resolution is refused when you choose it, before anything runs. Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened here yet: use Unlock PDF first if you know the password, then choose the unlocked copy.
Common questions
- Is my PDF uploaded to make the PNGs?
- No. Every page is drawn as a PNG in your browser, on white or with a see-through background, and saved on this device. Download the result, or use Share on a phone.
- When should I choose PNG rather than JPG?
- PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so text, lines and diagrams stay crisp and nothing is smudged by compression; the files are larger. JPG is smaller and suits photographs. Both are drawn at the resolution you choose.
- Can the background be transparent?
- Yes. Turn on the transparent background and anything the page leaves unpainted stays see-through in the PNG, which is what you want for a logo or a stamp. Left off, the page is drawn on white.
- Do I get one PNG or many?
- One selected page saves as a single PNG. Several save as a ZIP with one PNG per page, named after your PDF and numbered by page so a folder sorts them in order.
- Can I still select the text in the PNGs?
- No. A PNG is a picture of the page, so its text cannot be selected or searched and links and form fields no longer work. Keep the original PDF for those.
