Questions and answers

Is my PDF uploaded to extract its images?

No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device.

How is this different from PDF to JPG?

PDF to JPG renders each whole page as a picture, text and all. This pulls out just the photos and pictures a PDF already has embedded in it, leaving text as text — for when the PDF is a brochure, report or scanbook and you want the original images back out, not a screenshot of the page.

What image formats come out?

A JPEG-compressed image in the PDF comes out as a .jpg, unchanged — the exact same compressed bytes the PDF already stored, not a re-compression. A losslessly-stored image comes out as a .png.

Some images were not extracted. Why?

A handful of storage methods are not decoded here: CMYK and indexed-colour images, 16-bit images, fax-compressed scans (CCITT) and JPEG2000. The result says how many were skipped rather than pretending everything came out.
