Does this extract pictures or entire PDF pages?

It extracts embedded raster images. Text and vector drawings are not converted into pictures. Use PDF to PNG or PDF to JPG for complete page images.

What image formats will I get?

JPEG or PNG. Eligible embedded JPEG and PNG images keep their format; other supported images, including those needing color or transparency handling, are converted to PNG.

Can I extract images from scanned PDFs?

Yes, if the scan is stored as a supported embedded image. A scanned page may be one large image; the tool does not separate individual photos within that scan.

Why are some images missing?

The size filter may exclude small images, repeated image objects are saved once, and unreadable images may be skipped. Lower the minimum size to include smaller images. Vector drawings are not embedded raster images.

Are images extracted at their original resolution?

The tool uses the pixel dimensions stored in the PDF. It cannot restore resolution or detail that was lost before the image was embedded. Extraction uses the editor-prepared PDF, so original uploaded-file byte identity is not guaranteed.

How do I include small images or skip icons?

The minimum size defaults to 32 pixels. Images narrower or shorter than that value are skipped. Lower the setting to 1 if you need small embedded logos or icons. Some unreadable image objects may still be skipped.

How are extracted images packaged?

One extracted image is saved as a JPEG or PNG file; multiple images are packaged in a ZIP. Repeated references to the same image object are saved once. The download uses the existing export flow; complete checkout if prompted.

Can I extract text instead of images?

Use PDF to Text to extract selectable text. Use PDF to PNG or PDF to JPG to save the complete appearance of each page, including text and diagrams.
