pdftoppm can do it and is available for linux and windows, hopefully
also on a Mac.
It is a command line utility and on linux, you would run something like
pdftoppm -png -r 300 file.pdf
to convert file.pdf to file00001.png, file00002.png etc (one png file
per page) at the resolution of 300 dpi.

pdftoppm has many options, see its man page (or google).
