When to use Extract PDF Images

Use Extract PDF Images when you need photos, screenshots or raster graphics stored inside the PDF rather than an image of each page.

Output

What the result contains

Extractable embedded raster images are returned as PNG files. Multiple results are packaged into a ZIP. If no embedded image can be extracted, PDF Care recommends page rendering instead.

Extract Images from PDF: how it works

PDF Care scans selected page drawing operations for embedded raster image objects and exports supported images as PNG. This is different from PDF to PNG or JPG, which renders the entire page.

How to use this Extract PDF Images tool

  1. Choose the file you want to process.
  2. Review the selected input and any available options, then choose Extract Images.
  3. Download the generated result directly to your device.

PDF Care keeps this workflow browser-side so the document contents do not need to be sent to a PDF Care application server for processing.

FAQ

Questions about Extract PDF Images

Are files uploaded when I use Extract PDF Images?

No. PDF Care processes this tool locally in your browser, so the document contents are not uploaded to a PDF Care application server.

Is this the same as PDF to PNG?

No. PDF to PNG renders the entire page. Extract PDF Images attempts to recover raster image objects embedded in the PDF.

Why might a PDF contain no extractable images?

Some PDFs contain only vector graphics, text, masks or complex image data that is not exposed as a standalone raster image.
