Why Convert PDF to PNG?

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

Every pixel survives exactly as rendered.

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 for screen, 150 for retina displays, 300 for print. That is the whole decision.
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 my file private?
Yes. The conversion runs in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded, so your files never leave your device. The only limit is size: 100 MB for this format. Bigger files route to the desktop app.

Extracting high-DPI PNG pages from large PDFs?

TeraConvert Desktop uses Ghostscript to render PDF pages at any DPI with no page count limit and lossless PNG output.
