How to PDF to PNG with PrivaTools

Frequently Asked Questions

Why PNG instead of JPG?

PNG is lossless — text and graphics stay crisp. JPG compresses better for photos but introduces compression artifacts on text.

How big are the PNGs?

Roughly 200-500 KB per page at 150 DPI for typical text content; up to 2-3 MB at 300 DPI.

Does this preserve PDF transparency?

PDF transparency layers flatten during rasterization but the result PNG has alpha if the PDF page had transparent regions over the page background.
