Upload, settings, preview and export stay together on desktop. On mobile, the next action stays close enough to tap without hunting through menus.

Drop or pick files

Start with the document, not a decision tree.

2

Choose the operation

Switch between convert, merge, compress and OCR in one shell.

3

Preview before export

Check conversion, page changes and output settings before download.

4

Download or automate

Finish in the browser or move repeat work into the API.

Converted export

Export the selected PDF to images or an archive format.

3 product rules

PDF work that feels obvious.

SnapPDF keeps the file, the result and the next action in view so customers are never guessing where to click next.

Start with the file

The first screen lets customers begin converting, merging or compressing without reading a long pitch.

Find the right tool

PDF jobs are grouped, searchable and readable on mobile so the right action is easy to choose.

Know what is happening

Progress bars and queue labels show every file state without making unsupported speed promises.

15 API ops / docs-ready

One browser product, one developer path.

Use SnapPDF in the browser for quick jobs, then move repeat PDF work into a REST API with predictable endpoints, webhooks and usage controls.

POST /v1/pdf/to-images
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

file=@report.pdf
format=jpg
quality=high

Endpoint reference

Convert, merge, split, OCR, watermark, protect and compress behind predictable endpoints.

Async jobs

Webhooks let larger jobs finish without keeping the browser tab open.
