Quick answers
- Higher DPI improves detail but increases file size.
- PNG keeps sharp edges for text and diagrams.
- Transparency support depends on source content and tool behavior.
What DPI should I use?
Use moderate DPI for web sharing and higher DPI for fine text or print-like quality checks.
How do I keep text sharp?
Export at higher quality and avoid repeated re-processing of already exported images.
Does PNG preserve transparency?
It can, when the original content includes transparency and the export path supports it.
How to export all pages?
Choose all pages in the tool, then download outputs (often bundled as ZIP).
Why are PNG files large?
PNG prioritizes image fidelity, so complex pages and higher settings produce larger files.
What about scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs may need higher settings for readability and can still create large output files.
