Tool ID: pdf-images. Requested language: cu. Description language: en. Complete guide translation: no; untranslated sections use English.

## Overview (en)

Extract images from PDF finds the embedded raster images in a PDF and exports each one as a PNG inside a ZIP file. You can scan all pages or a selection such as 1,3-5, files are named by page and image number, and up to 300 images are extracted per run. Vector graphics are not extracted.

## Supported tasks (en)

Exports supported decoded raster image objects as PNG. Vector graphics, some image masks and original compressed image bytes are not extracted.

## Steps (en)

1. Choose a source file. If the tool accepts multiple files, arrange them in the order you want.
2. Set pages (blank = all; e.g. 1,3-5).
3. Run extract images from pdf, review the output, then use the available copy or download controls.

## Settings

- Pages (blank = all; e.g. 1,3-5) (en; key: pages; type: text)

## Limitations (en)

PDF input is bounded to 20 MB per file. Page rendering is capped at 200 selected pages; page-edit output is bounded to 500 pages.

## Privacy and connections (en)

This operation processes its source in your browser. Copy and download are explicit actions; source input is not saved in an account or history.

## Questions (en)

### Are the extracted images the original files from the PDF?

No. Images are decoded and saved as PNG, so they are not the original compressed bytes, such as the JPEG data stored in the PDF. The pixel content is kept, but file sizes and formats can differ.

### Why does it say no images were found in my PDF?

Only raster image objects are extracted. Charts, logos and drawings made of vector graphics, and some image masks, are not raster images, so a PDF containing only those reports that no supported images were found.

### Will the same logo be extracted once for every page?

No. When the same image object is reused on several pages, it is exported only the first time it is found, which keeps repeated logos and backgrounds from filling the ZIP.

### Where is my input processed?

This operation processes its source in your browser. Copy and download are explicit actions; source input is not saved in an account or history.

### What are the input limits?

PDF input is bounded to 20 MB per file. Page rendering is capped at 200 selected pages; page-edit output is bounded to 500 pages.
