How it works
Common questions
Convert PDF to PNG โ lossless quality, free
PNG is a lossless image format, which means no quality is lost during compression. When you convert a PDF page to PNG, you get a pixel-perfect image with no compression artifacts โ ideal for documents with sharp text, diagrams, charts or logos. Unlike JPG, PNG also supports transparency, which matters if your PDF has transparent backgrounds.
getpdfree converts your PDF pages to PNG entirely in your browser. No file uploads, no sign up, no watermarks. Just drag your PDF in and download your images.
PNG vs JPG โ which should you choose?
Choose PNG when you need lossless quality โ sharp text, detailed diagrams, images you'll edit further, or anything with transparency. PNG files are larger than JPG but the quality is better. Choose JPG when file size matters more than perfect quality, like photos or images for web use where a small amount of compression is fine.
How to get the best PNG output
Use the DPI selector to control resolution. 144 DPI works well for most uses. For high-resolution output suitable for large prints or detailed editing, select 216 DPI. PNG doesn't have a quality slider because it's lossless โ you always get the maximum quality available.
