Frequently Asked Questions
Why PNG instead of JPG?
PNG uses lossless compression — every pixel is preserved exactly. JPG uses lossy compression that introduces artifacts, especially around sharp edges and text. Choose PNG for text, diagrams, and screenshots; JPG for photos.
Are PNG files larger than JPG?
Generally yes, because lossless compression preserves all data. For a typical PDF page, PNG might be 2-5x larger than JPG. The trade-off is perfect quality.
Will the PNG have a transparent background?
No. PNG as a format can be transparent, but this converter draws each page the way a PDF viewer shows it, on a white background, so the PNGs are opaque.
What resolution are the output images?
You choose 150 DPI (screen), 300 DPI (print) or 600 DPI (high). Higher DPI gives sharper, larger images.
When quality matters, choose PNG over JPG. Lossless compression means every pixel is preserved — perfect for diagrams, text, and technical content where compression artifacts are unacceptable.
