I built an Offline PDF to Image Converter (No Uploads, No Data Leaks)

While sharing a course certificate recently, I noticed something: most platforms (like LinkedIn) accept only images, but learning platforms often give certificates as PDFs.

When I searched for PDF → Image converters, almost every tool uploaded the file to some cloud server first before giving me the result. That made me wonder: what if I don’t want to upload my personal files anywhere?

So I built a simple PDF to Image Converter that runs entirely in the browser.

🚀 100% offline

🔒 No uploads, no data leaks

🖼️ Convert PDF to PNG or JPEG instantly

🌐 Free & open-source

You can try it here: https://pdf-to-image.probir.dev/

The project uses React + Vite + PDF.js, with all the conversion logic happening client-side via canvas. It’s a small but practical example of how powerful browser-based tools can be when we combine open web APIs with libraries like PDF.js.

Would love your feedback! 🙌
