Why Convert PDF to PNG?

Converting PDF pages to PNG gives you lossless image quality with sharp text edges and clean graphics, essential for print-ready thumbnails, web documentation images, and anywhere that JPG's compression artifacts on text would be unacceptable.

PNG's lossless compression preserves every pixel exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PDF to JPG and PDF to PNG?
PNG uses lossless compression, producing larger files with no compression artifacts on text, logos, or sharp graphics. JPG uses lossy compression, producing smaller files with minor artifacts. Use PNG for documentation and design work; JPG for general sharing.
Will a multi-page PDF export all pages as separate PNGs?
Yes. Each page exports as a separate PNG file, bundled in a ZIP archive for download.
What DPI should I choose for web use?
72 DPI produces sharp web images at screen resolution. 150 DPI is good for retina/HiDPI screens. 300 DPI is for print-ready output.
Is there a page count limit for the browser conversion?
The browser handles PDFs up to 100 MB with no hard page count limit, though large page counts at high DPI may be slow. TeraConvert Desktop processes unlimited pages with Ghostscript.
Is this conversion really free, and is my file private?
Yes. The browser conversion runs entirely on your device using WebAssembly. Files are never uploaded to a server and are discarded from memory when you close the page. There is no file size tracking, no account link to your upload, and no cloud storage.
Do I need to create an account to convert files?
No. The browser converter works without signing in. An optional account is only needed if you want to save favorites, track conversion history, or upgrade to the desktop app with Polar license activation.
How fast is the conversion?
Most browser conversions complete in a few seconds. Large files (over 100 MB) or heavy formats (video, high-page PDFs) take longer depending on your device's CPU and available memory. The desktop app runs significantly faster using native engines.
