Hi everyone, I’m working on a small side project where I need to share some parts of a PDF file as images for a website. I tried taking screenshots, but the edges look rough, and the quality just isn’t good enough when I upload them online. It makes the graphics look unprofessional, which I definitely want to avoid.
I’ve read that it’s better to Convert PDF to PNG instead of using screenshots, since PNG keeps the image sharp and doesn’t lose quality the way JPEG sometimes does. The problem is, I’m not sure which online tool to trust or how to make sure the output resolution is high enough. Ideally, I’d like something fast, without having to install heavy software, because I’ll need to repeat this process often.
Does anyone here have experience with this? What’s the most reliable way to get clean, high-resolution PNGs from PDF pages?
Hello, You’re on the right track—using screenshots will always give you a lower-quality result. The best option is to use an online converter specifically designed to Convert PDF to PNG. Most of these services let you upload your file, select the pages you need, and download them instantly as PNG images. Look for tools that allow you to adjust DPI or resolution settings. If you set it to 300 DPI, you’ll get very crisp images, suitable even for printing. Also, keep in mind that PNG files are larger than JPEGs, so if you’re using them on a website, you may want to compress the images afterward to reduce loading times. There are free PNG optimizers that can do this without affecting quality.
