    Get the original pictures back

    Taking screenshots of a PDF loses quality. Extract images saves the pictures stored inside the file instead: JPEG photos come out byte for byte as they are in the PDF (no re-compression), and other pictures become lossless PNG files, keeping any transparency. They come together in a ZIP file.

    Good to know

    • Pictures smaller than 48 pixels (icons, bullets, lines) are skipped; untick Skip small images to get them all.
    • A picture is saved at the resolution stored in the PDF. If it looked small and blurry in the document, it will here too.
    • Drawings made of lines and shapes (many charts and logos) aren't pictures, so they aren't extracted. Save the whole page with PDF to PNG instead.
    • A scanned PDF holds one picture per page: you get the scans themselves.

    Respect copyright

    Pictures in a document belong to their authors. Extract them for your own work, archives or to reuse your own material, and ask permission before publishing someone else's.

    Extract images: questions and answers

    Is the quality the same as in the PDF?

    Yes. JPEG photos are saved byte for byte as they are inside the PDF, and other pictures become lossless PNG files, keeping any transparency.

    Why are some small images missing?

    Pictures smaller than 48 pixels — usually icons, bullets and lines — are skipped. Untick “Skip small images” to get them all.

    Can I get the pages themselves as pictures?

    Yes: use PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG, which save whole pages.

    Why does the PDF say it has no pictures?

    Its graphics are drawn with lines and shapes rather than stored as pictures. Use PDF to PNG or PDF to JPG to save whole pages.

    Is the file uploaded?

    No. The pictures are read from the PDF in your browser.
