Microsoft Edge is actually a pretty solid option for this, and the best part is you already have it installed on your Windows PC. It's not the most obvious tool for the job, but it works surprisingly well if you want to convert PDF to PNG without downloading anything extra.

How to convert PDF to PNG:

1. Open PDF: Right-click on your PDF file and select Open with Microsoft Edge.

2. Take a screenshot: Navigate to the desired page, press Win + Shift + S to open the screenshot tool, and then select the area to be captured.

3. Save as PNG: The screenshot has been copied to the clipboard. You can directly paste it into an image editor and save it as PNG format, or you can directly save it from the notification of the Snip tool by long-pressing.

Yes, Edge is a completely feasible and cost-free way to handle this issue. It is not as powerful as dedicated software, but for quick conversion, the operation is simple and efficient, without any hassle. No installation is required, nor is there a need for a complex website. Just you and your browser are needed. Why not give it a try - you might be surprised by its excellent performance!
