What Does "Extract Images from PDF" Do?
This tool pulls out every picture embedded inside a PDF's pages — photos, scanned graphics, logos — and saves each one as its own image file. It's different from "PDF to Image," which renders whole pages as pictures; this tool instead reaches inside the PDF and recovers the original embedded images themselves, at their original quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from "PDF to Image"?▾
PDF to Image renders each whole page as a picture (text, layout, and all). This tool instead extracts only the individual images already embedded inside the PDF, as separate files.
Will every image in my PDF be extracted?▾
Most common cases (JPEG photos and standard embedded graphics) are supported. A small number of PDFs use less common internal image encodings that this tool skips — if any are skipped, the result tells you how many.
What file formats do the extracted images come in?▾
JPEG for photos that were already stored as JPEG inside the PDF, and PNG for other embedded images — whichever preserves the original data best.
