How to use the PDF to PNG tool
- 1
Add your PDF
Drop the PDF into the box or choose it from your device. Enter the password if the file is protected.
- 2
Select pages
Keep every page selected or pick just the slides, charts or pages you need from the thumbnails.
- 3
Choose a resolution
PNG is already set. Pick 150 DPI for screens and slides, or 300 DPI for print and fine detail.
- 4
Download
Save each PNG separately or download all of them in one ZIP.
Why use KBSnap’s PDF to JPG?
Lossless output
Every pixel is stored exactly, with none of the blur or speckles JPG compression can add.
Sharp text and lines
Letters, table borders, charts and line drawings keep clean, hard edges.
Safe to edit and re-save
PNG doesn't lose quality each time you save, so you can annotate pages without degrading them.
Choose the pages
Convert only the pages you need instead of exporting the whole document.
Converted on your device
Your PDF is rendered locally in the browser and never uploaded.
Why choose PNG instead of JPG?
JPG saves space by discarding detail, and it struggles most with exactly the things PDFs are full of: sharp black text on a white background, thin lines and flat colours. At lower quality you'll see soft edges and faint speckles around letters. PNG stores the page losslessly, so what you see in the PDF is exactly what you get in the image – at the cost of a larger file.
| PNG | JPG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless – nothing discarded | Lossy – some detail discarded |
| Text, lines and charts | Perfectly crisp edges | Edges can soften or speckle |
| Scans and photo-heavy pages | Very large files | Much smaller files |
| Re-saving after edits | No quality loss | Quality drops a little each time |
| Best for | Slides, diagrams, text pages, editing | Scans, photos, quick sharing |
In short: PNG for pages that are mostly text and graphics, PDF to JPG for scanned documents and pages full of photographs.
Good uses for PDF to PNG
- Slides and presentations: pull a slide or chart out of a PDF deck and drop it into another presentation without it looking blurry on a projector.
- Diagrams for documentation: floor plans, flowcharts, technical drawings and maths worksheets keep their fine lines.
- Annotating pages: mark up a page in an image editor and save as often as you like without it degrading.
- Posting text-heavy pages: notices, timetables and infographics stay readable when shared online.
- Design work: a lossless page image is a clean starting point for mock-ups and graphics.
Choosing a resolution for PNG
Because PNG keeps every pixel, file size grows quickly with resolution, so pick the lowest DPI that does the job:
- 150 DPI – the best all-rounder for PNG. Text is crisp on phones, monitors and in slides, and files stay reasonable.
- 300 DPI – for printing, zooming into small print or technical drawings with fine detail. Expect large files.
- 72 DPI – small previews and thumbnails only.
Converting a scanned document or a photo-heavy brochure? PNG files of those pages can be several times larger than JPG without looking any better, because photographic detail and scanner grain are exactly what lossless compression handles worst. Switch to JPG for those.
Example: a chart from a PDF report into a slide
Say page 6 of a PDF report has a bar chart you want in a presentation. Add the PDF, select only page 6 from the thumbnails, keep PNG and choose 150 DPI – enough for a projector or a large monitor. Download the single image and insert it into your slide. If you only want the chart rather than the whole page, crop it in your slide software or photo editor. Because PNG is lossless, the bars, axis labels and legend stay as crisp as they are in the PDF.
After converting
- Need smaller PNGs for a website or form? Compress Image shrinks PNG files with colour quantisation and keeps them as PNG.
- Publishing online? PNG to WebP makes lighter images that all modern browsers support.
- Want to put edited pages back into a document? PNG to PDF turns them into a PDF again.
- Only need a few pages as a PDF, not as images? Use Split PDF.
