PDF to Image Conversion Utility

pdf2pic is a robust Node.js utility library designed for converting PDF documents into various image formats (like PNG, JPEG), base64 encoded strings, or raw image buffers. The current stable version is 3.2.0, with the project maintaining an active release cadence, frequently delivering patches and minor updates. A key differentiator of pdf2pic is its flexibility in output types and its ability to handle conversions from file paths, buffers, or base64 input. It acts as a wrapper around powerful external system dependencies: GraphicsMagick (or ImageMagick) for image processing and Ghostscript for PDF rendering. This design necessitates prior installation of these tools on the host system. The library ships with comprehensive TypeScript type definitions, enhancing the development experience for TypeScript users, and requires Node.js version 14 or higher.
