## What it is
A PHP library that converts PDF files to images (jpg, png, webp) using Imagick and Ghostscript. It supports rendering single or multiple pages, choosing output format, and setting quality and resolution.

## Use cases
- convert pdf pages to images in php
- render pdf thumbnail from first page
- extract specific pages of a pdf as png
- generate webp images from pdf documents
- get page count of a pdf file
- batch convert pdf documents to jpg

## When to choose
- you're on PHP 8.2+ and need simple PDF-to-image conversion
- you want per-page selection and multiple output formats
- you already have Imagick and Ghostscript installed

## When to avoid
- you can't install Ghostscript or Imagick on your server
- you need pure-PHP PDF rendering without native dependencies
- you need to extract text or vector data rather than raster images
