Hi You can check this pdf library:http://freepdf.codeplex.com but free version has some limitations.

All listed libs are not either actually free or have license limitations: Spire.PDF (freepdf.codeplex.com) community edition (free version) can load only PDFs LibPdf is not maintained any more and it can be used only under GPL license because it is uses poppler as library (which is GPL-only). In other words it cannot be used in closed-source project ImageMagick is a wrapper for GhostScript which is licensed under AGPL. This means that for usage in commercial projects commercial license is needed (rather expensive). I recommend to use poppler tools as command line utility: you may execute it with System.Diagnostics.Process from C# code and in this case GPL license does not violated. Also you may use existing .NET poppler wrapper to get solution with one line of c# code (it is commercial but price is small): https://www.nrecosite.com/pdf_to_image_renderer_net.aspx

Use LibPdf(http://code.google.com/p/lib-pdf/downloads/list OR https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpdf/)  for PDF to Image conversion LibPdf library converts converts PDF file to an image. Supported image formats are PNG and BMP but you can easily add more. Usage example: using (FileStream file = File.OpenRead(@ ..\path	o\pdf\file.pdf )) // in file { var bytes = new byte [file.Length]; file.Read(bytes 0 bytes.Length); using (var pdf = new LibPdf(bytes)) { byte [] pngBytes = pdf.GetImage(0ImageType.PNG); // image type using (var outFile = File.Create(@ ..\path	o\pdf\file.png )) // out file { outFile.Write(pngBytes 0 pngBytes.Length); } } } ImageMagick  you should also look at this freely available and powerful tool. It's capable of doing what you want and also provides some .NET bindings (as well as bindings to several other languages). In its simplest form it's just like writing a command convert file.pdf imagefile.png
