Extract images from a PDF

No. An image with a transparent background is saved without its transparency: the parts that were see-through in the PDF show the colour stored underneath, often black or white. To save a page as it looks, use PDF to PNG.

No. PDFs with a password are not supported, including those that only restrict printing or copying, because this tool copies what is inside the PDF. Remove the password in your PDF app first, then use that copy.

Photos and pictures stored as JPEG are saved exactly as they are, and greyscale, colour and palette images stored without loss are saved as PNG. Images in CMYK colour, 16-bit images, JPEG 2000, and black-and-white scans compressed with JBIG2 or CCITT are not supported yet; the tool shows how many were left out. Images in annotations or patterns, and small images written directly into a page’s content, are not extracted.

PDF to JPG saves each whole page as a picture, with its text and margins, at the resolution you choose. This tool saves only the images placed on the pages, each at its own original size, and saves JPEG images without re-compressing them. An image used on several pages, such as a logo, is saved once.

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device. The page only downloads the tool's own code when you add the first file.
