What this PDF task means
Converting PDF pages to PNG creates raster images that can preserve crisp edges for diagrams, screenshots, and text at suitable resolution. PNG is lossless for the rendered image but can produce larger files than JPG for photographic content. Choose based on intended use.
When this method is useful

Step-by-step guide
- Upload the PDF, select PNG output and resolution, convert, and review image dimensions and readability. For multiple pages, organize the resulting files clearly.

Common mistakes to avoid
