Pull the pictures embedded in a PDF out exactly as they are stored. Unlike PDF to Image, this does not screenshot whole pages — it recovers the actual image objects inside the document at the resolution the author embedded, with no loss from page scaling. Ideal for recovering figures and photos from reports, manuals and papers. Set a minimum size to skip rules and spacers, and a logo repeated on every page is exported only once. Everything is parsed locally and files are never uploaded.

## How to use

1. Upload a PDF file
2. Pick the output format and adjust the minimum size and de-duplication if needed
3. Click Extract images; a single image downloads directly, several arrive as a ZIP

## Features

- Original embedded resolution, not page screenshots
- PNG keeps the alpha channel
- Filter out fragments below a minimum size
- Repeated images exported only once

## FAQ

### How is this different from PDF to Image?

PDF to Image renders each page — text, layout and all — as one picture. This tool lifts the embedded image objects out on their own, giving you the original pixels of the artwork itself.

### Why does my PDF yield no images?

If the content is vector artwork (charts, line drawings) or plain text, there are no bitmaps to extract. Use PDF to Image to render that kind of content instead.

### Why is the extracted image smaller than it looks on the page?

You get the embedded resolution. If the author placed a small image and stretched it, the extracted file is that small original — that is what the document actually contains.

### Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.
