## About

Extract PDF Images pulls out the actual embedded pictures — photographs, screenshots, scanned figures — at their original stored resolution, not a screenshot of the page. You can download each image individually or grab everything as a single zip.

This is the difference between a 2000×1500 original photo and a blurry page capture. If the PDF is vector-only (text and drawings, no photos), the tool tells you honestly instead of returning junk — then PDF to PNG is the right tool for that job.

## How to use

1. **Choose the PDF** — Any document with embedded photos works.
2. **Review the gallery** — Images are shown with page numbers and sizes.
3. **Download** — Grab individual PNGs or everything as one zip.

## FAQ

### Will this recover images at original quality?

Yes — images come out exactly as they were embedded, at full stored resolution. No re-compression, no page screenshots.

### Why did a page return no images?

Pages with only text and vector drawings have no embedded raster images. Scan-heavy and photo documents extract the most.

### The same photo appears twice — why?

Some PDFs embed the same image at multiple sizes (thumbnail plus full). Both copies are extracted; pick the larger one.

### How do I get whole pages as images instead?

Use PDF to PNG — it rasterizes complete pages. This tool is only for pulling out the embedded pictures.
