SkiaImageExportSettings

Updated on Apr 24, 2026

The SkiaImageFormatProvider offers the functionality to export PDF pages (RadFixedPage objects). The public ExportSettings property gives access to the SkiaImageExportSettings that gives you modification options and further fine-tuning.

Since the SkiaImageFormatProvider works with PDF pages (RadFixedPage), not a PDF document (RadFixedDocument), it is possible to export detached pages as well which are not associated with a particular PDF document. Hence, any document-related exception handling mechanism wouldn't be triggered in this case.

SettingDescription
IsAntialiasedGets or sets a value indicating whether the image will be antialiased.
ScaleFactorGets or sets a value indicating the scale factor of the image.
ImageFormatGets or sets a value indicating the image format. The available options for the SkiaImageFormat are Jpeg, Png and Webp.
QualityGets or sets a value indicating the image quality. The value range is 1 (lowest quality) to 100 (highest quality) inclusive. The default value is 75.

As of Q3 2025 the SkiaImageExportSettings offers the DocumentUnhandledException event which allows you to handle exceptions while exporting a PDF page (RadFixedPage).

The example shows how you can create a SkiaImageExportSettings object with the desired settings and handle unexpected errors while exporting a PDF page (built from scratch) which is not associated with a document:

C#
RadFixedPage page = new RadFixedPage();
TextFragment textFragment = page.Content.AddTextFragment("Document Processing Libraries");
SkiaImageFormatProvider imageProvider = new SkiaImageFormatProvider();
SkiaImageExportSettings settings = new SkiaImageExportSettings
{
    IsAntialiased = true,
    ScaleFactor = 2.0, // Adjust the scale factor as needed
    ImageFormat = SkiaImageFormat.Png, // Choose the desired image format
    Quality = 90 // Set the quality for lossy formats like JPEG
};
imageProvider.ExportSettings = settings;
settings.DocumentUnhandledException += (s, e) =>
{
    //Debug.WriteLine("The document is corrupted and cannot be exported: " + e.Exception.Message);
    e.Handled = true;
};
byte[] resultImage = imageProvider.Export(page, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

File.WriteAllBytes("exportedPage.png", resultImage);

The next example shows how to import an existing PDF document, iterate all of its pages and export each page to an image:

C#
PdfFormatProvider pdfFormatProvider = new PdfFormatProvider();
RadFixedDocument fixedDocument = pdfFormatProvider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes("Sample.pdf"), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
SkiaImageFormatProvider imageProvider = new SkiaImageFormatProvider();

imageProvider.ExportSettings.ImageFormat = SkiaImageFormat.Png;
imageProvider.ExportSettings.ScaleFactor = 0.5;
imageProvider.ExportSettings.Quality = 50;
imageProvider.ExportSettings.IsAntialiased = false;

int count = 1;
foreach (RadFixedPage page in fixedDocument.Pages)
{
    byte[] resultImage = imageProvider.Export(page, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
    File.WriteAllBytes(@"C:\Temp\Page " + count++ + ".png", resultImage);
}
