Answers.Body: <p>I created a plugin specifically to do this - 
  <a href="https://github.com/bymayo/craft-pdf-transform" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/bymayo/craft-pdf-transform</a></p>
  
  <p>It takes Asset PDF files and coverts them to JPEG / PNG files automatically when they are uploaded.</p>
  
  <p>Or, do theres a Twig method that lets you convert the PDF to an image if the image already exists in Assets. But this can be a bit labour intensive on the server to do when a template is rendering so is only advised for small files.</p>

  Craft 3 doesn't do this natively and I'm not seeing any existing [Craft 3 plugins](https://plugins.craftcms.com/) that would do this, so at the moment, you'd need to write your own.
