Is there any way to convert PDF into picture using ImageSharp?

So, everything is in the title :) I need to convert a pdf-document into picture (every page should be a picture)? .NET v.4.0, ara there any ways to do it using ImageSharp?

PDF rendering is a much wider concern than just imaging, and currently there are no SixLabors implementing it. You would need to look for other libs, eg. https://github.com/QuestPDF/QuestPDF (note that lib has a license similar to ours, if yor comany earns more than $1M, you need a paid license).

Have you ever found any examples how to convert pdf to jpg using it? All I can find is how to create a PDF-document.

Can you clarify which "it" you are referring to? For QuestPDF, that would be https://www.questpdf.com/concepts/generating-output.html#generating-images

I'll try to explain again, sorry, maybe my english is not good enough. As I can see, QuestPDF provides the opportunity to generate a PDF-file and then save it as PDF, image, etc. But what if the file is not generated with QuestPDF but uploaded for example by a user, how to "ask" QuestPDF to convert it?

Ah. Unfortunately, that's a question to ask on that repo, not here.

Anyway, thanks!

Docnet (https://github.com/GowenGit/docnet) has been the simplest project I've found for exporting PDF pages as images. ImageSharp has had no issues loading and manipulating the bitmaps which Docnet creates.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with .NET v4.0, which I have to use. :(

You can try this project based on PdfPig which is fully managed (no Pdfium). However, it uses SkiaSharp, not ImageSharp.
