Rendered in your browser with pdf.js — each page is drawn to canvas at your chosen DPI and saved as a lossless PNG. Nothing is uploaded.

    No files yet. Everything stays on this device. Downloads start instantly.

    Privacy you can verify, not just trust

    Most online PDF-to-PNG converters upload your documents to their servers first — and several cap free conversions at 3 a day. This one can't: pdf.js renders your PDF pages to PNG entirely in your browser. Your file data never leaves the device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which count page views — and it uploads nothing, ever. There is no file fetched after load for the conversion itself. Don't take our word for it:

    New cross-origin requests during use: 0
    1. Press F12 to open developer tools, then the Network tab.
    2. Convert any PDF above. Watch: apart from the site's analytics, nothing new is requested — no uploads, and no file data ever leaves your device.
    3. Extra credit: disconnect your internet after this page loads — conversion still works.

    How to convert PDF to PNG without uploading it

    Every "free" online PDF-to-PNG converter you've used uploads your document to a company server, converts it there, and — in several documented cases — keeps a copy or a live download link for days. For contracts, payslips, medical letters, and anything you wouldn't post publicly, that's an unnecessary risk. The safer approach is to convert the file where it already is: on your own device.

    This tool does exactly that. When you drop a PDF here, your browser:

    1. Checks the file is really a PDF — by its %PDF magic bytes, not its name — and that pdf.js can open it, so a corrupt or truncated file is refused with a clear message instead of producing broken images. A JPEG renamed to .pdf is refused the same way, and a PDF renamed to .txt still converts.
    2. Reads the page count and sizes and shows you a preview thumbnail of each selected page, so you can see what will convert before anything is rendered.
    3. Renders each selected page to canvas with pdf.js at your chosen DPI and saves it as a lossless PNG — with the transparent-background toggle on, the PNG keeps the page's transparency; with it off, transparent areas are flattened onto your chosen background colour. Your original PDF is never modified, and no page is ever sent anywhere.

    What makes this converter different

    The pages that top the results for this search mostly convert on a server, cap free conversions per day, or ask for an account — the big names (iLovePDF, Smallpdf, Adobe) all upload your file and limit free use. The dedicated client-side pages we found each cover only part of the job: Filoraio offers page ranges, 72/150/300 DPI and a ZIP with no quota; TemplateLab adds a transparent-background toggle and joins pages into one image; BytePriva follows the same DPI-and-range pattern. None of them combines all of it — batch conversion, page ranges, DPI choice, a transparency toggle, per-page previews and a ZIP — with no daily limits, no account and no watermark. This page is the only dedicated client-side PDF-to-PNG page we found that combines a batch of 20 PDFs with page-range selection (All, single page, or a custom range like "1-5, 8"), a DPI choice of 72/150/300, a transparent-background toggle, per-page preview thumbnails, per-page downloads and a ZIP of the whole batch — with no daily limits, no account and no watermark — plus a live network-request counter so you can verify the privacy claim yourself. It runs entirely in your browser — there is no server to upload to.

    When is PDF-to-PNG the right choice?

    Whenever the destination wants a lossless picture, not a document — and especially whenever transparency matters: a diagram or logo from a PDF laid over a coloured slide, a page from a report pasted into a design, a certificate or ticket posted to social media, a form page attached to an email, a scanned page uploaded to a form that only accepts images, or a single page printed at high quality. PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so it is also the right pick for pages you will edit, crop or zoom into later. If the destination accepts PDFs, keep the PDF — a PNG throws away the text layer and can never be searched or re-flowed. And if the file just needs to be small and transparency does not matter, a JPG is the better pick — PNG files are much larger.

    Honest limitations

    No text layer

    Each PNG is a rasterized render of a page — a picture, not the page itself. The text is not searchable and cannot be selected or copied from it. Copy the text from the PDF first if you need it.

    PNG files are much larger

    PNG is lossless, so it keeps every pixel — and the files show it. A 300 DPI photo-heavy page can be several megabytes, and a big batch can make a ZIP well over 100 MB. A PNG can never be sharper than the PDF page it was rendered from, so pick the lowest DPI that still looks sharp for your use.

    Transparency is your choice

    With the transparent-background toggle on, transparent areas stay transparent in the PNG. With it off, they are flattened onto your chosen background colour (white by default). Pages with a solid background are unaffected either way.

    No password-protected PDFs

    Password-protected PDFs are refused, and this tool never asks for a password. Remove the password in a desktop PDF tool first, then convert the unlocked copy.

    Embedded images are not extracted

    Each PNG is a render of a whole page. The original photos embedded inside a PDF are not pulled out — extracting them is a separate job.

    Memory-bound in the browser

    Very large or page-heavy PDFs are memory-bound: 25 MB per file, 20 files per batch, 200 pages per PDF. Split a bigger PDF into smaller files first. Fonts render via pdf.js — rare exotic fonts may substitute.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do my PDFs upload anywhere?

    No. Your PDFs are rendered to PNG entirely in your browser with pdf.js — your file data never leaves the device, and the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which count page views. You can verify it yourself with the network-request counter in the privacy section below the converter.

    What DPI should I choose — 72, 150 or 300?

    72 DPI is enough for quick previews and thumbnails; 150 DPI is the default and the right pick for slides, social posts, emails and upload forms; 300 DPI is for print and anything you will zoom into or crop later. Higher DPI makes sharper, larger PNGs — a 300 DPI A4 page is about 2480 × 3508 pixels, roughly four times the pixels of the same page at 150 DPI — so pick the lowest DPI that still looks sharp for your use. And remember PNG is lossless: a 300 DPI photo-heavy page can be several megabytes, much larger than the same page as a JPG, so prefer 150 DPI unless you need print quality.

    How do I convert only some pages of a PDF?

    Use the page-range setting. All pages converts the whole PDF; Single page converts one page you pick by number; Custom range takes a list like 1-5, 8 — pages and ranges separated by commas. Out-of-range pages are reported per file with a clear message instead of failing silently, and each file's card shows exactly which pages are selected before you convert.

    Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

    No. Password-protected PDFs are refused with a clear message, and this tool never asks for a password. Remove the password in a desktop PDF tool first, then convert the unlocked copy here.

    Can I keep transparent backgrounds in the PNG?

    Yes — that is the point of PNG. Switch on the transparent-background toggle and transparent areas of a PDF page stay transparent in the PNG, so you can drop the page onto a coloured slide, a design or a website background without a white box around it. With the toggle off, transparent areas are flattened onto the background colour you pick — white by default. Pages with a solid background are unaffected either way. JPG cannot do this at all, which is why PNG is the right format when transparency matters.

    Will the PNGs contain selectable text?

    No. Each PNG is a rasterized render of a whole page — a picture of the page, not the page itself — so there is no text layer, the text is not searchable and you cannot select or copy words from it. If you need the text, copy it from the PDF before converting, or use a text-extraction tool instead.

    Can I convert several PDFs at once?

    Yes. Drop up to 20 PDFs at a time, up to 25 MB each, and convert them all in one go. Every page becomes its own PNG with a per-page download button, and Download all as ZIP collects the whole batch into one file. There is no daily limit, no account and no watermark — a 200-page cap per PDF applies because very page-heavy PDFs are memory-bound in the browser. One warning: PNGs are lossless and large, so a big batch at 300 DPI can make a very large ZIP — tens of megabytes for a handful of photo pages, and well over 100 MB for dozens — so prefer 150 DPI for big batches.
