Recover the photographs and graphics inside a PDF as separate files. These are not screenshots of the pages: they are the original images, exactly as they were embedded.
With “as they are in the PDF”, JPEG photographs come out byte for byte as they sit there, with no re-encoding at all. The rest are redrawn, because their internal format is not an image file that can be saved as-is.
How to use it
- Drop in the PDF.
- Raise the minimum width if you do not want icons and decorative rules.
- Process and download them as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do fewer come out than I can see?
- Two reasons. The minimum-width filter discards the small ones, and images in formats that cannot be read safely are left alone rather than risking a mangled save.
- Do they come out at the original resolution?
- Yes. What is extracted is the image as it sits in the document, which often has far more resolution than shows on the printed page.
- What if I want the whole pages instead?
- Then you want “PDF to images”, which draws each complete page, text and all.
