Two ways an image can live inside a PDF

When you extract images from a PDF, what you get back depends on how the file was built. Most PDFs store their pictures as separate embedded objects, a JPEG here, a PNG there, sitting inside the file at their original resolution. This tool pulls those objects out directly, rebuilds each one, and packages them into a ZIP with filenames that record the page and position they came from. Because it takes the stored image data rather than a screenshot, the quality matches whatever the author put in.

When a PDF has no images to pull

Some PDFs, especially reports and scanned documents, contain no separate embedded images at all. A scanned page is often a single full-page image, and a plain text report may have none. Rather than hand you an empty ZIP, this tool falls back to rendering each page as a high-resolution PNG. You end up with a usable picture of every page, which is exactly what most people trying to lift a chart or a diagram out of a report actually need.

Keeping the original quality

There is a real difference between extracting an image and screenshotting it. A screenshot is limited to what fits on your screen and is degraded by scaling. Extracting the embedded object recovers the picture at the resolution it was saved, so a high-resolution photograph placed in a brochure comes back at full size. Where the tool has to fall back to page rendering, it renders at high resolution, so the output is still sharp enough to crop and reuse.

It runs in your browser, not on a server

Pulling images out of a PDF is often done with sensitive material: product mockups under embargo, medical scans, photographs in a legal file. This tool does the extraction inside your browser using pdf.js, so the document is never uploaded. The ZIP is assembled locally and saved straight to your downloads. Nothing about the file, its images included, travels to us or anyone else.
