How to convert PDF to PNG

  1. Drop the PDF.
  2. Pick a resolution, and pages if not all.
  3. Press Convert and download each PNG.

What happens to your file

Pages are rendered to pixels and stored losslessly, so screenshots of diagrams, line art and text stay crisp with no JPEG blocking.

PNG files are larger than JPG for photographs. For a photo-heavy page, JPG at the same DPI is usually a quarter of the size.

Questions

PNG or JPG?

PNG for text, diagrams, logos, anything with sharp edges or transparency. JPG for photographs.

Is the text still selectable?

No — it is an image now. Keep the PDF if you need the text.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.
