It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## PDF to Image & Image Converter: PNG, JPG, WebP, HEIC, PDF Render PDF pages to images, turn images into PDF and convert images between formats — including iPhone **HEIC** photos — in bulk, with a download link for every file. - **PDF → PNG, JPG, WebP or TIFF.** Choose the DPI (72 for thumbnails, 300 for print) and the pages (`1-3,5,8-`). - **Images → PDF.** One PDF per image, or all images merged into a single PDF. - **Image format conversion.** PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, HEIC/HEIF and AVIF in, PNG/JPG/WebP/TIFF out; multi-page TIFFs are split into frames; EXIF rotation is applied; optional downscaling. - **ZIP of everything** and per-file download links in the dataset. ### Why this Actor | | This Actor | Typical alternatives in the Apify Store (Oct 2026) | |---|---|---| | **Price** | **$2 per 1,000 images or pages** | $2–10 per 1,000, often plus a per-file fee | | **Both directions** | PDF → images **and** images → PDF in one Actor, plus image format conversion | Often one direction per tool | | **iPhone HEIC** | HEIC/HEIF → JPG/PNG/WebP/PDF | Rarely supported | | **Control** | DPI 36–600, page ranges (`1-3,5,8-`), quality, max width, merge, ZIP | Often fixed settings | ### Input ```json { "sources": [{ "url": "https://example.com/catalog.pdf" }, { "url": "https://example.com/IMG_0042.heic" }], "outputFormat": "jpg", "dpi": 150, "pages": "1-3", "quality": 85, "maxWidth": 1600, "zipAll": true } ``` | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | `sources` | URLs of PDFs or images. Files in your own Apify key-value store work too: set the store's access to "Anyone with ID can read" and use `https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores//records/` (the Actor runs with limited permissions and does not use your token). | | `outputFormat` | `png`, `jpg`, `webp`, `tiff`, or `pdf` (images only) | | `dpi` | Resolution for PDF pages, 36–600 | | `pages` | PDF pages to render, empty = all | | `quality` | JPG/WebP quality 10–100 | | `maxWidth` | Downscale wider images, 0 = keep size | | `mergeImagesIntoOnePdf` | With `pdf` output: also return `merged.pdf` (free) | | `zipAll` | Also return `all-files.zip` (free) | ### Output ```json { "url": "https://example.com/catalog.pdf", "fileName": "catalog.pdf", "kind": "pdf", "outputFormat": "jpeg", "sourcePages": 12, "count": 3, "files": [ { "key": "0001-catalog-p0001.jpg", "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/0001-catalog-p0001.jpg?signature=...", "bytes": 182311 } ], "warnings": [] } ``` A file that cannot be downloaded or opened gets an `error` field instead and is **not charged**. ### Pricing | Event | Price | What counts | |---|---|---| | `page` | **$2 per 1,000** | one produced image (a rendered PDF page or a converted image frame), or one PDF made from an image | Plus Apify's standard start fee of $0.05 per 1,000 runs. Merging and ZIP are free. The run stops before it would exceed your maximum charge per run. ### Related Actors - [Office to PDF & PDF/A](https://apify.com/ai_admin/office-to-pdf) — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML → PDF/PDF-A - [Document to Markdown for AI](https://apify.com/ai_admin/document-to-markdown) — PDFs, scans and Office files → Markdown, tables, RAG chunks Open source: [github.com/AndriyVK/-apify-document-tools](https://github.com/AndriyVK/-apify-document-tools) ### Use with AI agents and code - **MCP (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, any MCP client):** add `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ai_admin/pdf-image-converter` as an MCP server — the agent gets one tool with this Actor's input schema and pays per use through your Apify account. - **One HTTP call that returns the results:** ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/ai_admin~pdf-image-converter/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"sources": [{"url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/FloomuI2DrQCJazY8/records/text-3p-en.pdf"}], "outputFormat": "jpg", "dpi": 150, "pages": "1-2"}' ``` - **Agentic payments:** the Actor is enabled for Apify's agentic payments (x402), so autonomous agents can pay per run. ### Limits - Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Maximum download size is 200 MB per file. - Very large pages at high DPI produce large images; use `maxWidth` to keep them small. # Actor input Schema ## `sources` (type: `array`): Public URLs of PDFs or images (PNG, JPG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF). PDFs are rendered to images; images are converted to the output format. Files in your own Apify key-value store work too: set the store's access to "Anyone with ID can read" and use https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores//records/. ## `outputFormat` (type: `string`): png, jpg, webp or tiff for PDF pages and images; pdf to turn images into PDF. ## `dpi` (type: `integer`): Rendering resolution: 72 = screen thumbnail, 150 = good default, 300 = print quality. ## `pages` (type: `string`): Pages to render, e.g. "1-3,5,8-". Empty = all pages. ## `quality` (type: `integer`): 10 (smallest) to 100 (best). ## `maxWidth` (type: `integer`): Downscale wider images to this width, keeping the aspect ratio. 0 = keep size. ## `mergeImagesIntoOnePdf` (type: `boolean`): With output format "pdf": also return merged.pdf with all input images in order (free). ## `zipAll` (type: `boolean`): Also return all-files.zip with every produced file (free). ## Actor input object example ```json { "sources": [ { "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/FloomuI2DrQCJazY8/records/text-3p-en.pdf" } ], "outputFormat": "png", "dpi": 150, "pages": "", "quality": 85, "maxWidth": 0, "mergeImagesIntoOnePdf": false, "zipAll": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset items: url, kind, outputFormat, count, files (key, url, bytes) or error. ## `files` (type: `string`): All images, PDFs, merged.pdf and all-files.zip in the run's key-value store. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "sources": [ { "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/FloomuI2DrQCJazY8/records/text-3p-en.pdf" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ai_admin/pdf-image-converter").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/l9zg7OIxw7cNXE8Fx/builds/UcfxE9SOX8vGxWCgk/openapi.json
