Rasterizing a PDF to Images

Rasterizing a PDF to an image involves converting each page of the PDF document into a static image format, such as JPEG or PNG. This process is commonly used when you need to extract individual pages or images from a PDF for various purposes, like displaying them on a website or incorporating them into a different document.

PDF documents can be rasterized into images using IronPDF's PDF to Image Converter. You also have the option to specify the image type for the output images. Each output image will be named with "_pageNumber" at the end to indicate its corresponding page number in the original PDF.

Below is an example of how you can use IronPDF to convert a PDF to images using C#:
