Convert a PDF into an image for preview or publishing

When turning PDF pages into images makes more sense than sharing the whole file.

Convert a PDF into an image for preview or publishing

Export only the needed pages

Select what you want to show instead of converting everything.

Keep the PDF source

The full file still matters for archiving and full reading.
