When PNG is the right format
PNG uses lossless compression: every pixel is stored exactly. That makes it the format of choice when you convert pages that contain:
- Text and documentation — screenshots for a manual, a knowledge base or a support ticket.
- Charts, graphs and slides — flat colours and thin lines stay crisp.
- Technical drawings, plans and diagrams — no compression artifacts around fine lines.
- Images you will edit further — in Photoshop, GIMP, Figma or Canva, without losing quality on every save.
Resolution and size
| Resolution | A4 page size in pixels | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Screen (72 dpi) | about 595 × 842 | Thumbnails, previews |
| Standard (150 dpi) | about 1240 × 1754 | Screens, documents, web |
| Print (300 dpi) | about 2480 × 3508 | Printing, close zooming |
At 300 dpi each image has four times as many pixels as at 150 dpi, so files are much larger. For long documents, Standard is usually the best balance.
PNG or JPG?
If a page is mostly a photograph, a PNG can be several times heavier than a JPG of the same page without looking any better. A good rule: text and graphics → PNG, photos → JPG. If you end up with PNGs that are too heavy for the web, convert them with PNG to JPG or PNG to WebP.
Going back to PDF
Edited your images and need a document again? PNG to PDF combines them into a single PDF, in the order you choose.
Common problems and fixes
The PNG files are huge. The page contains a large photo or a scan, which PNG stores without compression losses. Lower the resolution to Standard, or switch to PDF to JPG for those pages.
Small text is not sharp enough. 72 dpi is meant for thumbnails. Use Standard for screens and Print (300 dpi) when people will zoom in or print the image.
My browser struggles with a long document. Rendering hundreds of pages at 300 dpi uses a lot of memory. Convert in smaller batches by splitting the PDF first, or use a computer rather than a phone.
“This PDF is password-protected.” Unlock the PDF with its password first, then convert the unlocked copy.
Only one page is useful. Download that image from the results list rather than the whole ZIP — each page has its own Download button.
Your PDF stays private
Pages are rendered as images inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so internal documents, drafts and unpublished designs remain on your computer or phone.
