What resolution should I choose?

For on-screen use, the default is fine. For printing or for cropping a detail out of a page, raise the DPI — the trade-off is file size, not quality.

Can I convert just one page?

Yes. Set a page range and only those pages are rendered.

No. Rendering happens on your machine, which is why there is no quota and no size limit.

Should I use PNG or JPG?

PNG for text, diagrams and line art, where sharp edges matter and lossy artefacts show. JPG for photographic pages where file size matters more. Both are available in the same tool.

Can I get the text instead of an image?

Yes — the same tool extracts a PDF's text layer to plain text, Markdown or HTML if what you want is the words rather than a picture of them.

Why convert

Why convert PDF to PNG?

A PDF page cannot be dropped into a slide, a document, a chat or a web page. A PNG can. Converting also fixes the resolution permanently, so a diagram or a signature block stays crisp wherever it is pasted.

You need one page of a PDF as an image for a slide, a report or a message.
A diagram or chart lives inside a PDF and you want it as a picture.
You are producing thumbnails or previews of a document set.
Something has to be posted somewhere that accepts images but not PDFs.
