Problem
LinkedIn carousels or image posts require separate image files, but the source file is a single PDF.
How to Use
Upload the presentation PDF, set the Scale option to '2x (High Quality)' to ensure text readability, and run the conversion.
Example Config
Scale: 2
Outcome
A ZIP file containing 15 high-resolution PNG images, one for each slide, ready for upload.

2. Extracting Document Pages for Web Display

Web Developer
Background

Example Config
Scale: 1.5
Outcome
