How PDF to PNG Conversion Works

Converting PDF to PNG renders each page of a PDF document as a lossless PNG image, making content viewable on any device without a PDF reader and preserving sharp text edges that JPEG compression would degrade. PDF stores fixed-layout pages with embedded fonts and vector graphics; PNG uses lossless DEFLATE compression to store pixel data with no quality loss. Each page is rendered at the specified DPI: 150 DPI suits on-screen viewing, 300 DPI is standard for print-quality output. Text, vector shapes, and rasterised images from the PDF are all composited into a single pixel grid per page. The resulting PNGs are not text-searchable. Multi-page PDFs produce one PNG per page. 1converter renders PDF pages using Ghostscript with anti-aliased text and smooth image scaling, preserving the exact visual appearance of the original at the target resolution. Pages are delivered as individual files or packaged in a ZIP archive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting PDF to PNG

PNG holds a single image, so each page becomes its own file, numbered in page order. A ten-page PDF gives you ten PNGs, delivered together.
PNG for anything containing text, tables, line art or screenshots — its lossless compression keeps edges sharp. JPG for a PDF that is mostly photographs, where it produces a much smaller file. Text converted to JPG shows visible haloing around the letters.
No. Rasterising converts letters into pixels, so the text is no longer selectable, searchable or accessible to a screen reader. Keep the original PDF if the text layer matters, or run OCR on the PNG to recover it.
Lossless compression plus a high DPI adds up quickly — a 300 DPI A4 page is roughly 2480×3508 pixels. Drop to 150 DPI for screen use, or convert to JPG if the page is photographic.
