Three steps, nothing to install
Upload your PDF
Drop the document that holds the pictures. Up to 100 MB.
The images are pulled out
Each embedded picture is taken as it was stored, at its own resolution.
Download the archive
One .zip holding the images. Your files are deleted afterwards.
Three situations it was made for
A logo trapped in a document
A supplier sends a PDF and you need the logo it holds. Extraction gives you the picture itself, at its own size.
Photos in a report
A survey or an inspection report holds site photos. Getting them back means you can file them, or use them in another document.
Checking what will print
Seeing the real resolution of the images in a document tells you whether it will hold up in print, before you send it off.
What the tool actually does
Extraction reads what the file holds
It reads the pictures the file actually holds and hands them over untouched, at the size and quality they were embedded with. A logo stored at 2000 pixels wide comes out at 2000 pixels wide, even if the page shows it two centimetres across.
A page made of text yields nothing
If the document holds only text and vector drawings, there is no picture to extract, and the archive comes back empty. That is what the file contains. To turn pages into pictures instead, use conversion from PDF and pick an image format.
Scanned documents are one picture per page
A scan is a photograph of a sheet of paper, so a scanned document usually yields exactly one image per page. That is expected. If what you want is the text of that scan, the tool for it is optical recognition, not extraction.
Before you upload anything
Is the quality of the images preserved?
Yes. Each picture is handed over as it was stored, without being resized or re-encoded.
In what order are the images?
In page order, numbered so that sorting by name follows the document.
The archive came back empty, why?
The document holds no embedded picture: it is made of text and vector drawings. Nothing was lost, there was simply nothing to extract.
Can I choose which images to take?
No. Extraction covers the whole document, and you pick what you need from the archive.
Is the tool free?
Yes. Extraction is free, with no sign-up and nothing to install.
Are my files kept?
No. The file you send and the archive produced are deleted automatically once the job is done.
Where are my files processed?
On servers in France. Your data stays in the European Union, under the GDPR.
Do I need an account?
No. An account is what lets you keep, find and share your documents afterwards.
