Does this turn every PDF page into an image?

No. It extracts indirect embedded image objects, not page screenshots. Use the PDF to Image tool when you need a rendered copy of every page.

Will I get the original image uploaded before the PDF was made?

Not necessarily. A PDF creator may resize, recompress, recolor, or strip metadata. This tool exports the image representation stored inside the PDF, not a guaranteed original uploaded file.

Which embedded PDF images can be exported?

Safe 8-bit DeviceRGB, DeviceGray, and one- or three-component ICCBased DCT JPEG streams can be preserved, while supported raw, Flate, LZW, ASCII, and RunLength pixel data is re-encoded as PNG. Other cases are labeled clearly.

Are the listed page numbers exact usage locations?

They are resource-associated pages. A listed page may make the object available without visibly drawing it, and unlocated objects may still be valid embedded resources.

Does it find inline images inside page content streams?

No. This MVP discovers indirect image objects only; inline images are not detected or counted.

No. Reading, serial scanning, decoding, preview creation, and every per-file or batch ZIP run locally in your browser.

Extract PDF image objects instead of rendering pages

This tool inspects indirect PDF image objects and exports each unique supported object once. It is for extracting pictures already stored in a PDF, not for converting complete PDF pages into PNG or JPG screenshots.

What the extractor can export

Validated 8-bit DeviceRGB, DeviceGray, or ICCBased DCT JPEG streams with one or three JPEG components can be preserved as JPEG when their PDF parameters are safe.
Supported 8-bit DeviceRGB and DeviceGray raw, Flate, LZW, ASCII, or RunLength image data is decoded and re-encoded as PNG.
Process up to 10 PDFs serially, then download one image, one PDF's exported images as a ZIP, one combined ZIP with a folder per PDF, or separate per-PDF ZIPs. Only exported results are included. A batch can select 200 MB of PDFs and retain up to 128 MB of exported image data.

Important PDF limitations

JPEG 2000, CCITT, JBIG2, Indexed, CMYK, unsupported ICCBased encodings, other unsupported color spaces, low bit depths, masks, encrypted PDFs, damaged streams, and unsupported filter chains remain visible but are not exported. MVP does not detect or count inline images. It cannot recover EXIF, embed an external PDF ICC profile into the downloaded JPEG, or restore the original uploaded file before the PDF was created.

What page numbers mean

Page numbers are resource-associated pages found through PDF resource dictionaries. They do not prove that a page content stream actually drew the image. Objects with no page association are labeled unlocated rather than omitted.
