# Tanod pdfpeek PDF Rasterize

> Tanod pdfpeek PDF Rasterize is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Converts selected PDF pages (up to 5) into an image-only PDF, stripping all text layers, forms, links, and scripts

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://tanod.dev/v1/pdf/rasterize?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-11
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/tanod-pdfpeek-pdf-rasterize-be8126f6

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tanod-pdfpeek-pdf-rasterize-be8126f6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this PDF at https://example.com/contract.pdf and rasterize pages 1 through 5 into an image-only PDF at 200 DPI using PNG format so no text, form fields, or links survive.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to definitively remove all text layers, form interactivity, hyperlinks, and embedded scripts from a PDF — for example when distributing a secured document, archiving a form in read-only format, or sanitising an untrusted PDF before further processing. Prefer this over general PDF-to-image converters when the output must remain a PDF (not loose image files) and when per-page control (DPI, format, grayscale) matters.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is private, internal, or uses an IP-literal host — request refused
- PDF from URL exceeds 20 MB — size limit error
- PDF supplied as base64 exceeds 10 MB decoded — size limit error
- More than 20 pages requested in a single call — validation error
- DPI out of range (below 36 or above 300) — validation error
- JPEG quality out of range (below 30 or above 95) — validation error
- URL is not a valid http/https URL or is unreachable — fetch error
- Invalid base64 encoding — parse error

## How this service works

One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.

## Output

An image-only PDF where each requested page (up to 5 at the lower price tier, up to 20 per call) is rendered as a flat raster image in JPEG or PNG, with all text layers, form fields, hyperlinks, and embedded scripts removed.
