About this tool
Extract images from a PDF by rendering each page as a high-resolution JPG or PNG. Useful for grabbing photos from a brochure, pulling figures from a research paper, or producing image previews for a PDF library. Each page becomes a separate image file you can use anywhere.
When to use it
- Pulling photos out of a multi-page PDF brochure or catalogue
- Extracting figures and charts from a research paper or report
- Producing image thumbnails of every page for a PDF preview gallery
- Saving each page of a scanned document as a standalone image
- Converting a presentation PDF back into individual slide images
What to expect
This renders each page as an image — different from extracting embedded image objects (which is a more complex operation). The result is a faithful visual copy of each page. Choose PNG for crisp text and graphics, JPG for smaller files when the page is mostly photographic.
Frequently asked questions
Does this extract embedded images, or render pages as images?
It renders each page as a high-resolution image. The result captures everything visible on the page (text, images, vector graphics) as a single rasterised image. To extract individual embedded image objects, you'd need a different specialised tool.
What resolution will the output images be?
By default, the rendering matches the page at high resolution (suitable for screen viewing or moderate printing). For print-quality output at large sizes, render at higher DPI — though file sizes grow proportionally.
PNG or JPG — which should I pick?
PNG for pages with crisp text, line art, or screenshots — preserves edges. JPG for pages dominated by photographs — smaller files at the same visual quality. PNG is lossless; JPG is lossy.
