How does the Thumbnail Extract (PNG) work?
Render a single page of a PDF as a PNG thumbnail. Pick the page (default first), pick the resolution (1.5× is the sweet spot for web thumbnails), get a PNG. Useful for generating social-share preview images, populating a file-listing UI with thumbnails, or as a quick "what does this PDF look like?" check.
