FAQ

Common questions 3 questions

What is the primary use of a PDF thumbnail?

To visually represent the pages of a document without loading the entire PDF file.

Does this extract the full-size images?

No, this extracts a low-resolution preview of the entire page, not the original embedded images.

What format should I choose?

JPG is ideal for photographs; PNG is better for documents containing text, lines, and transparency.
