Recovering the original images inside a PDF

PDFs often contain embedded images — photos, logos, diagrams, or scanned pages — that you might want to reuse on their own, separate from the document. This tool scans every page of your PDF using pdf.js, looking for embedded image objects, and decodes each one it finds into a standalone PNG file, all inside your browser.

Because a single PDF can contain many images across many pages, all of the extracted pictures are packed into one ZIP file using JSZip, named by page number so you can tell which image came from where. Some PDFs use image formats or compression methods that don't decode cleanly; the tool skips any image it can't reconstruct rather than failing the whole extraction, and lets you know if no images were found at all.

Select your PDF above and click Extract & Download ZIP. The tool scans every page, decodes each embedded image, and packages the results into a single ZIP file for download.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my PDF has no extractable images?

If the tool doesn't find any embedded image objects on any page, it will let you know rather than downloading an empty file. This can happen with text-only PDFs, or PDFs where the “images” are actually vector graphics rather than embedded pictures.

Why didn't some images extract correctly?

Some PDFs use image encodings that don't decode cleanly through this method; the tool automatically skips any image it can't reconstruct rather than stopping the whole extraction, so you'll still get the images that did decode successfully.

What format are the extracted images saved as?

Every extracted image is saved as a PNG file inside the ZIP archive, regardless of how it was originally embedded in the PDF, which keeps quality high with no additional compression.

Is this different from converting PDF pages to JPG?

Yes — PDF to JPG renders each entire page (text, layout, and all) as one image per page. Extract Images instead pulls out only the individual picture objects embedded within the PDF, which may be smaller elements like logos or photos rather than a picture of the whole page.
