Why use pdflu for this?
pdflu extracts the original embedded images from your PDF — not screenshots of pages. You get the actual pictures at their true resolution, exactly as they were placed in the document. Everything runs in your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device.
Perfect for recovering photos from reports, pulling graphics out of presentations saved as PDF, or collecting product images from catalogues — without any software installation or sign-up.
Tips for best results
- This tool extracts embedded images — for full-page snapshots use PDF to Images instead
- Images are saved as lossless PNG files at their original resolution
- Vector graphics (drawn shapes, charts) are not images and cannot be extracted
- If no images are found, the PDF may contain only text or vector artwork
- Repeated images (like a logo on every page) are extracted once per page they appear on
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Extract Images and PDF to Images?
Extract Images pulls out the original embedded picture files at their true resolution. PDF to Images takes a full-page snapshot of each page including text. Use Extract Images to recover photos and graphics; use PDF to Images for page previews.
What format are the extracted images in?
All images are saved as PNG, a lossless format that preserves the original quality. They are bundled into a single ZIP file for easy downloading.
Why did the tool find no images in my PDF?
Your PDF may contain only text, or its visuals may be vector graphics (drawn shapes and charts) rather than embedded photo images. Vector artwork is not extractable as an image file.
Will the extracted images keep their original quality?
Yes. Images are pulled directly from the PDF data at their embedded resolution — no re-compression, scaling, or quality loss.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The entire extraction happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device, making this completely private.
