MuPDF is a lightweight open-source C library and toolkit for viewing, rendering, parsing, and converting PDF, XPS, and e-book documents. It ships with language bindings (PyMuPDF, MuPDF.js, MuPDF.NET) and command-line tools for rendering, text extraction, annotation, redaction, merging, splitting, and digital signing.
Use cases
- render pdf pages to images
- extract text from pdf files
- merge and split pdf documents
- annotate and redact pdfs
- digitally sign pdf documents
- convert pdf to png or svg
- embed a pdf viewer in an app
- parse pdf objects and layout
When to choose
- you need fast, lightweight PDF rendering in C or via Python/JS/C# bindings
- you need low-level PDF parsing and manipulation
- you can comply with AGPL or purchase a commercial license
When to avoid
- you need a permissively licensed library and cannot use AGPL or pay for commercial licensing
- you only need simple PDF viewing in a browser without embedding a native engine
