How to Convert PDF to Image in Python

In this tutorial, we explore converting PDF pages to image files using IronPDF in Python. We start by importing IronPDF into a Python project and loading an existing PDF file named iron_pdf.pdf. Utilizing the PDFDocument.from_file method, we access the PDF content and then extract its pages as image files using the rasterize_to_image_files method. This involves specifying output paths, desired DPI, and naming conventions for the image files. The images are saved in the assets_SL_images folder with a 96 DPI resolution, named as PDF_to_image_page_*.PNG, where '*' represents the page number.

Additionally, we create a PDF from a URL using the render_url_as_pdf method, storing the Google homepage image with the same DPI settings. For customized image sizes, we apply the rasterize_to_image_files method with set maximum height and width, saving images at 500 pixels and 200 DPI, named fixed_image_size_*.PNG.

Ultimately, we run the project, generating output images representing each PDF page as separate PNG files. These images reflect different resolutions and sizes as specified. The tutorial concludes by inviting viewers to subscribe for more content and suggests trying the IronPDF software trial.
