📋 How to use Extract Images from PDF – step by step

  3. Click "Find Images". Small previews of all pictures appear
  4. Click a picture to select or unselect it. All of them are selected at first
  5. Click "Download Selected Pictures (ZIP)". The ZIP file downloads automatically

💡 Why use this tool?

Taking a screenshot of a picture in a PDF gives a blurry copy. This tool takes out the real picture that is stored in the file, with its full size, so it stays sharp.

Unlike many online tools, your PDF stays on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no sign-up.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Your PDF is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.

Why are some drawings or charts not found?

Only real pictures (photos, scans and images) can be taken out. Charts, logos and drawings that are made of lines and shapes are not pictures. For those, use the PDF to JPG tool to save the whole page as a picture.

My PDF is a scan. What will I get?

A scanned PDF has one big picture on each page, so you will get one picture for each page.

Are the pictures the same quality as in the PDF?

Yes. You get the picture at the size it has in the file. With PNG nothing is lost. JPG makes smaller files but with slightly less quality.

Why do I see fewer pictures than I expected?

Tiny pictures such as icons and thin lines are skipped at first. Set "Skip images smaller than" to Nothing to include them. A picture that is used on many pages is saved only once.

Why is the background of a picture black in JPG?

This tool puts a white background. If a picture has see-through parts, it is saved as PNG so that nothing is lost.

Can I extract images from a password protected PDF?

No. Remove the password first, then use this tool.

Is it free?

Yes, this tool is completely free to use.
