Convert PDF pages to PNG previews

PNG previews are useful when someone only needs to see a page, not download or edit the original PDF.

Common use cases

  • Send a document preview in chat
  • Create a visual approval screenshot
  • Export slide pages as images

Steps

  1. 1Add the PDF
  2. 2Choose a render scale
  3. 3Download the PNG pages as a ZIP

Mistakes to avoid

  • Do not use PNG output when the recipient needs searchable text
  • Do not choose the highest scale unless you need extra detail

FAQ

Is the PNG searchable?

No. Text becomes pixels in the image.

Can I compress the PNG files?

Yes. Use image compression after exporting if the ZIP is too large.
