- When you require a consistent image sequence from a multi-page document for digital archiving or previewing.

## How it works

- Upload your PDF file and specify the page range you wish to convert.
- Select your preferred output format (PNG, JPEG, or WebP) and adjust the DPI settings for your desired resolution.
- Configure additional settings like JPEG or WebP quality, then process the file to download your images as a single file or a ZIP sequence.
