Export the pages of a PDF as PNG images. PNG keeps text, lines and diagrams sharp because it doesn't use lossy compression, so it is a good choice for slides, plans or screenshots of documents.

Frequently asked questions
PNG or JPG: which one should I use?
PNG is lossless and keeps text crisp, but the files are larger. JPG is lighter and better for photos. If you only need small files, use PDF to JPG.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
No. Pages are rendered on a white background, the way they look on paper, so the images look the same in any viewer.
Are my files stored?
No. This tool processes the file on your device, inside the browser: it is not uploaded to any server and nothing is stored.
Is it free?
Yes. Sign in with your Google account and you get 8 uses per period on the free plan (1 use = 1 downloaded file; if something fails, it doesn't count). catScan Plus, bought in the Android app, is unlimited on the web and in the app.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac or Linux, with nothing to install. The catScan Android app also lets you scan documents with the camera.
