The Extract Images tool in PDFbat with a PDF loaded

The real images, not pictures of pages

Taking a screenshot of a PDF gives you a lower resolution copy with whatever surrounds the picture. Extract Images goes into the file itself, finds every embedded image object and saves it on its own.

Photos stored as JPEG are written out byte for byte, so they are identical to what the author placed in the document. Other images, such as graphics with transparency or images stored in other formats, are saved as lossless PNG. If the same logo appears on every page, you get it once, not fifty times.

Why extract instead of screenshot

Original resolution

Images keep their full pixel size, often far more than what you see on screen.

JPEGs untouched

JPEG photos are copied out unchanged, with no re-compression.

No duplicates

Images reused across pages are saved only once.

Skip tiny graphics

Ignore icons, bullets and spacer images below a size you choose.

Everything in one ZIP

Files are named by page number, so you can tell where each image came from.

How it works

Upload the PDF
Drop it onto the page or pick it from your computer, phone or Drive.
2
Set a minimum size
Keep the default of 32 pixels to skip tiny graphics, raise it to ignore logos, or set 0 to get everything.
3
Download the ZIP
Get every image in one ZIP file, also saved to your Drive.

How it works

Ignore images smaller than (px): The only option. Images narrower or shorter than this many pixels are skipped. Default 32. Try 200 to keep only photos and large illustrations.
JPEG passthrough: Images stored with JPEG compression are saved as .jpg files with their original data, so quality is untouched.
Lossless PNG for the rest: Other images are decoded and saved as .png so no detail is lost.
Clear file names: Each file is named like brochure-p3-7.jpg: the PDF name, the page it was first found on and a running number.
Duplicate detection: An image object shared by many pages is extracted once.
Helpful errors: If the PDF contains no images at all, PDFbat says so instead of giving you an empty ZIP.

Tips

Vector graphics such as charts drawn in Excel or logos made in Illustrator are not images inside the PDF. Capture those with PDF to JPG at 300 DPI.
A scanned PDF holds one big image per page, so extracting gives you the original scans.
Only reuse images you have the right to use.
Want smaller images inside the PDF instead? Use Compress PDF.
