Convert PDF files to image in C# and VB.NET

GemBox.Pdf enables you to easily convert PDF files into different file formats in C# and VB.NET. For example, you can convert PDF files into image formats (PNG, JPEG or other) and XPS.

To do this, just load a PDF document and save it into another file format as in the following example. For more details about supported file formats in GemBox.Pdf, see Supported File Formats help page.

Converting PDF files into image formats and XPS is currently supported only on Windows (.NET Framework and .NET Core with enabled WPF).
