About the formats

PDFPDF document

PDF is the standard format for documents that should look the same everywhere. It can hold text, images and vector graphics across many pages.

PNGPNG image

PNG is a lossless image format with transparency. It’s ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges, but photos come out larger than JPG.

Converted with pdf.js, jSquash, PDF engine.

Questions

Should I convert my PDF to PNG or JPG?

Choose PNG for pages of text, charts and diagrams, because it’s lossless and compression never softens the letters and lines. Pages full of photos come out several times larger as PNG than as JPG, so PDF to JPG suits those better.

How do I make the PNG images higher resolution?

Choose a higher DPI in Options; it goes from 72 to 600 and starts at 150. More DPI means more pixels per page, so the PNG stays crisp when you zoom in or print it, and the file gets bigger.

Can I save just one page as a PNG?

Yes. Type its number under Pages in Options, or a mix like 1-3, 5. One page downloads as a single PNG; several pages download one by one or as a ZIP.

Can I copy text from the PNG?

No. Each page is turned into a picture, so its text can’t be selected or searched. Keep the PDF if you still need the text.

Is my PDF uploaded to make the PNGs?

No. Your browser draws each page itself, so statements, contracts and other private PDFs stay on your device. The counter under the file list shows 0 bytes uploaded.
