What is this Python project?

PyMuPDF is a Python binding for MuPDF, a lightweight PDF, XPS, and E-book viewer and toolkit. It enables efficient PDF handling, offering features such as rendering, text extraction, and image manipulation.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

Unlike alternatives such as pypdf, pdfminer, and pypdf2, PyMuPDF distinguishes itself with a focus on speed and efficiency. It leverages the MuPDF engine for swift PDF processing, making it a lightweight and high-performance choice for tasks such as rendering and text extraction. Benchmark data is available both here and here.
