Convert PDF pages to PNG
PNG is the right choice when a page is mostly text, tables or line art: nothing is smeared by compression, so small print survives being zoomed into. The trade is a bigger file than JPG would be.

How it works
- Open the PDF whose pages you want as pictures.
- Decide how sharp the pages need to be.
- Turn the pages into images, then download them.
Questions
Why are these bigger than JPG pages?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as drawn, while JPG discards some to save room. On a page of text that shows up at the edges of the letters, which is usually the whole reason to pick PNG.
Do the pages come out with a white background?
Yes. A page is treated as a sheet of paper, so the background is filled in rather than left see-through, which is what nearly everyone wants when a page becomes an image.
