How it works (privacy & technical)

The PDF to JPG/PNG Converter operates entirely in your browser using pdf-lib 1.17.1 and PDF.js 3.11.174. PDF files are loaded as Uint8Array byte streams into browser memory, and operations such as PDFDocument.copyPages and getPage are executed in the JavaScript engine. This client-side processing ensures that the browser network layer is never used for file content, providing a secure and private experience. In contrast, server-based tools require file uploads, which can expose your documents to potential security risks. Our tool ensures that files never leave your device, meaning they do not appear in any server logs.
