Drop a PDF to get a lossless PNG of each page, sharp enough for slides, documentation and print. Thin lines and small text stay crisp, and pages without a background come out transparent.

## How to use it

1. Drop the PDF.
2. Keep PNG, choose 150 or 300 DPI, and optionally enter a page range.
3. Convert and download the pages one by one or as a zip.

## Details

- **Output:** One PNG per page, lossless; transparent where the page has no background
- **Resolution:** 72 DPI (screen), 150 DPI (default, sharp on phones and slides) or 300 DPI (print). An A4 page at 150 DPI is 1240×1754 px; at 300 DPI 2480×3508 px
- **Pages:** All pages, or a range such as 1-3, 5. Download one page or all as a zip
- **Renderer:** pdf.js (the PDF engine in Firefox), run in this tab
- **Limits:** Very large pages at 300 DPI are scaled down to the browser's canvas limit (about 16 megapixels on iPhone)

## Questions

### Are my files uploaded?

No. The page loads its code once, then reads and processes your files inside the browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server; you can confirm it in your browser's network panel while a file is processed.

### Why is the PNG so much bigger than a JPG?

PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so a full A4 page at 300 DPI can be 1–5 MB. Use JPG when file size matters more than perfect edges.

### Will the background be transparent?

Where the PDF page has no painted background, yes. Most PDFs exported from Word or design apps have none; scanned PDFs are pictures and keep their paper colour.

### Can I use the PNG for a logo or diagram?

Yes. Export at 300 DPI for a crisp image; vector content in the PDF is rendered at that resolution.
