## How to convert PDF to PNG

1. **Add your PDF files.** Drag and drop PDF files onto the converter, paste them, or click to browse. You can add several at once.
2. **Choose PNG.** PNG is already selected. Open Options if you want to change quality, size or metadata.
3. **Convert.** Click Convert. Files are processed in a secure cloud sandbox and are usually ready in seconds.
4. **Download your PNG.** Download each PNG file, or everything at once as a ZIP.

## Good to know

- Each page becomes its own PNG image; multi-page PDFs download as a ZIP.
- PDF files are typically used for contracts, forms, reports, e-books and anything meant to be shared or printed, while PNG is best for screenshots, logos, UI assets and any graphic that needs sharp edges or a transparent background.
- This conversion runs on Poppler in an isolated cloud sandbox. Files are encrypted in transit and deleted automatically.

**PDF:** PDF preserves a document's exact layout, fonts and images so it looks identical on every device. It's the standard for sharing and printing documents.

**PNG:** PNG is a lossless raster format that keeps every pixel exactly as it was and supports full alpha transparency.
