Does this PDF to PNG converter upload my files?

No. All processing is done locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

Are the PNG images high-quality?

Yes. Pages are rendered at approximately 120 DPI, offering a balanced quality suitable for documents, certificates, and research materials.

Can I convert large PDFs?

Yes. Most PDFs up to 200 MB work smoothly depending on your device's memory.

Will images and colors be preserved?

Yes. PNG output preserves colors, graphics, fonts, and embedded images accurately.

How it works

This tool uses PDF.js to read your document locally and reconstruct text from each page. It works well for digital PDFs and many scanned documents that already contain embedded OCR text.

If you get very little output from a scanned PDF, the file probably contains only images (no OCR layer).
Use a page range to speed up extraction on large documents.
Spacing and line breaks can differ from the original layout because PDFs store text in positioned fragments.

Tips & Troubleshooting

Text extraction works best on digital PDFs (where text is selectable). Scanned PDFs usually require OCR, which this tool does not perform.

Best practices

If you can select text in a PDF viewer, extraction is usually clean and complete.
Use page ranges to pull only the section you need (faster and easier to clean).
After extraction, skim for missing spaces or line breaks and do a quick cleanup before pasting into documents.
Keep the original PDF nearby for page references when quoting or reusing content.

If something goes wrong

If a scan produces empty output, the PDF likely contains images only; you will need OCR outside this tool.
If extraction is slow, reduce the page range or split the PDF first.
If characters look incorrect, re-save the PDF from a standard viewer and retry.

Privacy note

The PDF is read locally and text is extracted in your browser using in-browser rendering. Nothing is uploaded during extraction.

Useful next steps
