Frequently asked questions

What image format do I get when I extract images from a PDF?

Every extracted image is exported as a PNG. PNG keeps full quality with no extra compression and supports transparency, so the pictures you pull out of the PDF stay crisp.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is read and scanned locally in your browser with pdf.js, and each image is drawn to a canvas on your own device. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server, so your file stays completely private.

Why does it say my PDF has no extractable images?

The tool only extracts embedded raster images such as photos and scans. A PDF made purely of live text, vector graphics or fonts has no raster images to pull out, so nothing is extracted.

Will the extracted images match the original resolution?

Yes. Images are taken from the PDF at their stored pixel dimensions, not re-scaled from the page view, so you get the original embedded resolution rather than a screenshot of the page.

Is there a file size or page limit?

There is no fixed limit — the whole PDF is processed in your browser, so the practical ceiling is your device's memory. Very large PDFs with many high-resolution images will simply take a little longer to scan.

How do I download all the images at once?

After extraction, use the Download all button to save every extracted PNG together. You can also click Download next to any single image to grab just that one.
