About PDF →

PDF (Portable Document Format) is Adobe's universal document standard, designed to present text, images, and layout consistently across any device or platform. First released in 1993 and later standardized as ISO 32000, PDF supports vector graphics, embedded fonts, forms, annotations, and encryption. It has become the de facto format for document exchange, digital publishing, and archival—billions of PDFs are created daily worldwide.

PDF excels at preserving document fidelity and works universally—every operating system and browser includes native PDF support. For long-term archival or regulatory compliance, PDF/A is the appropriate variant.

About PNG →

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) provides lossless compression with full alpha channel transparency, making it the go-to format for graphics, screenshots, and images requiring pixel-perfect fidelity. Created in 1996 as a patent-free GIF alternative, PNG uses DEFLATE compression and supports both indexed color (PNG-8) and truecolor with alpha (PNG-24/32). Files are 3-10× larger than equivalent JPEGs but preserve every pixel exactly.

PNG is universally supported and ideal for logos, UI elements, diagrams, and any content where transparency or lossless editing matters. For photographic content without transparency needs, JPEG typically offers better compression efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does conversion work for multi-page PDFs?

Each page in your PDF becomes a separate PNG file. A 10-page document creates 10 PNG images. Files are named with zero-padded page numbers (e.g., document-page-01.png, document-page-02.png) and organized in a folder inside the ZIP download for easy management.

What resolution (DPI) are the output PNG images?

All PNG images are rendered at 300 DPI (dots per inch) by default for print-quality output.

Will text in my PDF remain sharp and readable?

Yes. PNG is lossless, so text and lines stay crisp at the chosen DPI. Remember that the output is still rasterized—keep the original PDF for editable text or vector workflows, but use PNG when you need pixel-perfect screenshots or diagrams.

Will text remain searchable after conversion?

No. Converting to PNG creates raster images—text becomes pixels rather than selectable/searchable characters. The visual appearance is preserved with lossless quality at 300 DPI, but:

Text cannot be selected, copied, or searched
OCR would be needed to extract text from the images
Hyperlinks and bookmarks are not preserved

This conversion is ideal for visual snapshots, diagrams, or archiving—not for text extraction. Keep your original PDF if you need searchable text.

Can I convert password-protected PDFs?

No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be processed. Remove protection before uploading.

Adobe Reader steps: File → Properties → Security tab → remove password protection → Save. Alternatively, use a tool like qpdf to decrypt the file.

When should I choose JPG over PNG for PDF pages?

Choose our PDF to JPG converter when file size matters more than pixel-perfect quality—photos, continuous-tone images, or when uploading to platforms with size limits. JPG files are typically 3-5x smaller than PNG. Stick with PNG for text, diagrams, screenshots, or graphics with sharp edges where lossless quality is essential.

Why is PNG better than JPG for diagrams and text-heavy PDFs?

PNG uses lossless compression, which preserves every pixel exactly. This is critical for:

Text: JPG compression creates visible artifacts around letters, making text fuzzy. PNG keeps text razor-sharp.
Diagrams & flowcharts: JPG "smears" hard edges and creates color bleeding around lines. PNG preserves clean edges.
Screenshots: UI elements with crisp borders and small text stay legible in PNG.
Technical drawings: CAD exports, architectural plans, and engineering schematics retain precision.

The tradeoff: PNG files are 3-5x larger than JPG. For photos or images where slight compression artifacts are invisible, JPG's smaller size is the better choice.

Do scanned PDFs convert differently than text-based PDFs?

Both types convert identically at the pixel level—we render each page as a 300 DPI image regardless of whether the PDF contains vector text or scanned images. The difference is quality: text-based PDFs produce crisp, sharp output because the text is rendered from vectors. Scanned PDFs are limited by the original scan quality—a 150 DPI scan won't become sharper at 300 DPI output.

What file sizes should I expect from converted PNGs?

PNG uses lossless compression, so file sizes are larger than JPG. Text-heavy pages with large white areas compress well (typically 200-500 KB per page). Full-color photos or complex graphics produce larger files (1-5 MB per page). At 300 DPI, a standard letter-size page is 2550×3300 pixels—PNG preserves every pixel without compression artifacts.

What are the page count limits for PDF conversion?

Your Guest tier allows up to 200 pages per PDF. Larger documents require a higher tier:

Tier	Max Pages per PDF
Free	200 pages
Pro	2000 pages
Business	2000 pages

What are the limits for this converter?

Tier	Max File Size	Max Files/Batch	Parallel Processing
Free	25 MB	50 files	3 at once
Pro	200 MB	200 files	6 at once
Business	1024 MB	1000 files	10 at once

Note: File size limits are specific to this converter. Batch and parallel processing limits apply to all documents converters site-wide. See all converter limits →

How are credits calculated for this conversion?

Cost: 1 credit per 10 pages

How it works:

1-10 pages: 1 credit (minimum)
11-20 pages: 2 credits
21-30 pages: 3 credits
31-40 pages: 4 credits
Over 1000 pages: 100 credits (maximum cap)

Example: A 5-page document = 1 credit. A 23-page report = 3 credits.

Why per-page? Each page requires individual rendering, processing, and storage.

What are my daily and monthly credit limits?

Credit allocations vary by account tier:

Tier	Daily Limit	Monthly Limit
Free	50 credits/day	—
Pro	—	10,000 credits/month
Business	—	30,000 credits/month

Daily credits (Free tier, including guests) reset every day at midnight UTC. Monthly credits (Pro & Business) reset on your billing cycle date.

Note: With 1 credit per 10 pages, a typical document costs 1 credit. Pro users can convert thousands of documents per month.
