PNG is the format to reach for when a page is dominated by sharp text, flat colour fields, charts, or line art — anything where crisp edges matter more than file size. Unlike JPG, PNG is lossless, so a diagram exported to PNG has no compression haloes around its strokes and a logo keeps perfectly clean boundaries. This converter renders each page of your PDF to a high-resolution PNG at 150 DPI, preserving every hairline rule and font edge.

Choose PNG over JPG when you plan to mark up a page, when it contains screenshots or UI mock-ups, or when it will be placed on a coloured background and you want clean anti-aliasing. For photo-heavy or scanned pages, JPG will give you a much smaller file with no visible difference.

When PNG beats JPG for documents

PNG shines on the kinds of pages JPG handles worst: solid colour backgrounds, fine black text on white, vector charts, and screenshots. JPG's lossy compression introduces faint 'mosquito noise' around high-contrast edges, which is exactly where document text lives. PNG stores those edges exactly. The trade-off is size — a PNG page is often several times larger than the equivalent JPG — so reserve it for pages where edge fidelity genuinely matters.

Transparency and overlays

Because PNG supports an alpha channel, it is the natural choice when you intend to composite a page over other artwork, build a watermark, or place a cut-out element into a design. While a standard PDF page renders on a white background, exporting to PNG keeps your options open for downstream editing in tools like Photoshop, Figma, or GIMP.

Frequently asked questions

Is PNG better quality than JPG for PDFs?

For text, diagrams, and line art, yes — PNG is lossless and keeps edges razor-sharp. For photographs and scans, JPG looks identical to most eyes at a fraction of the size.

Why are my PNG files larger than JPGs?

PNG uses lossless compression, so it cannot discard detail the way JPG does. That is what keeps it crisp, but it also makes photo-heavy pages much bigger. Use JPG for photos and PNG for graphics.

Does PNG keep transparency from the PDF?

Pages render on a white background by default. PNG's alpha channel means you can edit in transparency afterwards, which is why designers prefer it for compositing work.

What resolution are the PNG pages?

Each page is rendered at 150 DPI, sharp enough for on-screen use and light printing. Because we rasterise from the PDF's own vector data, text and line art stay crisp rather than jagged.
