PDF pages to thumbnails, as an API or inside your own servers

Fig. 1 · the real API
The demo key stays on our server. The form posts to our proxy, which adds the key. Files up to 2 MB, page 1 only, 10 tries an hour.
Nothing is kept. Same rule as the product: the PDF lives in memory for the length of the request, then it is gone.
Free tier. Get a key on pdfthumb.com and try it on your own files.
