Post Description

Built a free PDF to JPG converter that processes everything client-side using PDF.js and the HTML Canvas API. No files are ever uploaded to a server.

Features: batch PDF support, quality slider up to 300 DPI, download all as ZIP, memory-safe (revokes Blob URLs after each batch to prevent OOM crashes on large documents).

Useful for anyone converting sensitive documents like contracts or medical records who doesn't want them passing through a third-party server.
