Simple on purpose

Three decisions.
Then it gets out of your way.

01

Drop

Drag one PDF, several PDFs, or drop them straight onto the app in the Dock.

02

Choose

Pick 150, 300, or 600 DPI depending on whether you need screen, print, or extra detail.

03

Done

Each document gets a numbered PNG folder on your Desktop, ready to use.

Built for macOS

Small app.
Native behavior.

No Electron shell, browser runtime, sign-in flow, or background service.

Native Cocoa binary

Objective-C and Cocoa compiled directly with Clang for fast launch and a minimal footprint.

Under 300 KB

PDF signature check

Checks for the PDF header before processing instead of trusting a renamed file extension.

%PDF-

Safe output handling

Creates output folders without overwriting existing files and cleans up partial results after a failed conversion.

APFS-aware

Universal build

Runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

arm64 + x86_64

Free and open source
