Convert PDF to JPG

Convert your PDF files to a JPG thumbnail by simply switching the extension of the file to JPG. You can also specify the target thumbnail dimensions using the width and height parameters and any available crop mode. If your PDF file has multiple pages, you can specify the specific page to convert using the page parameter (pg in URLs). For example: Multi-page
