Why it doesn’t upload
The images inside a PDF might be product shots before launch, scanned IDs or photos of people. They’re pulled out in your browser, so they’re never copied anywhere else.

- Images are saved as they’re stored: a photo cropped on the page comes out uncropped, and a scan split into strips comes out as strips.
- Vector graphics (charts, logos drawn as shapes) aren’t images — convert the page to JPG to capture those.
- An image used on several pages is saved once.
Under the hood
What happens to your file
JPEG photos and scans are stored in a PDF as complete JPEG files, so they are copied out byte for byte — the exact quality that went in, with no re-encoding. Other image types (Flate, JPEG 2000, JBIG2, masks) are decoded by pdf.js and saved as PNG.

Why extract images from a PDF at original quality?
Screenshotting a PDF to get a photo out of it loses quality and crops badly. Extracting copies each embedded image out of the file as it was stored — JPEG photos byte for byte, with no re-compression. You get the real image the author put in.
It runs in your browser, so the document isn’t uploaded.

- Scans split into strips come out as strips, as they were stored.
Questions
How do I save all images from a PDF?
Drop the PDF here and press Extract images, then Save all as ZIP. Every embedded image is saved separately.
Are the extracted images full quality?
Yes. JPEG photos are copied out exactly as they’re stored in the PDF — no re-compression. Other images are decoded and saved as lossless PNG.
Why is an image missing?
It may be a vector drawing rather than a picture, or smaller than the size you chose to skip. Set Keep everything, or use PDF to JPG to capture whole pages.
What’s the difference from PDF to JPG?
PDF to JPG takes a picture of each whole page. This saves the photos that were placed on the pages, on their own, at their original resolution.
