Frequently Asked Questions

View Full FAQ
Why did I get no images, or just one big image per page?

This tool extracts pictures that are embedded in the PDF as image objects. Charts, logos, and diagrams are often vector graphics — drawn with lines and shapes, not stored as images — so there is nothing to extract. Scanned PDFs work the other way: each page is usually one big photo, so you'll get a single full-page image per page. If you want every page saved as a picture regardless, use our PDF to Images tool instead.

What format do the extracted images come in?

All images are saved as PNG files, which is lossless — nothing is recompressed, so you keep the full quality that was stored in the PDF. Note that images originally embedded as JPEG are converted to PNG on the way out, so file sizes can be larger than the originals.

Is my PDF uploaded to your servers?

No. This tool runs 100% in your browser — your PDF is opened and processed locally on your device and never uploaded anywhere. That's also why it's fast: there's no upload or download wait.

Why do I see fewer images than the PDF appears to contain?

We automatically remove duplicates — a logo or header image that repeats on every page is extracted only once. We also skip tiny images under 16×16 pixels, which are usually invisible artifacts or masks rather than real pictures.

How is this different from the PDF to Images tool?

PDF to Images renders each full page as one picture — text, graphics, and all. Extract Images pulls out only the original photos and pictures embedded inside the PDF, at their original stored resolution. Use this tool to recover the actual photos; use PDF to Images to get page snapshots.

How to extract images from a PDF online

Upload your PDF (up to 50MB) and BlendPDF automatically scans every page for embedded pictures, showing thumbnails as it goes. Select the images you want and download one directly as PNG or several bundled in a ZIP. Everything runs in your browser.

Can I choose which images to download?

Yes. Every found image appears as a selectable thumbnail showing its dimensions and the page it first appears on. Use Select all / Deselect all or toggle images individually — one selected image downloads directly as PNG, multiple download as a ZIP.

Are there page or image limits?

Files up to 50MB are accepted. To keep your browser responsive, scanning covers the first 200 pages and stops after 500 images — you'll see a clear notice if either cap is reached, and splitting the PDF lets you extract the rest.

Is the image quality preserved?

Yes. Images are extracted at the exact resolution they're stored at inside the PDF and saved as lossless PNG — no scaling, no recompression. A 2000×1500 embedded photo comes out as a 2000×1500 PNG.

Does it work with Arabic PDFs?

Yes. Image extraction reads embedded pictures, which are language-independent — Arabic and RTL documents are scanned exactly like any other PDF, and the fully localized Arabic interface is available too.

How fast is image extraction?

The scan runs page by page with a live progress bar, typically finishing in seconds. Speed depends on your device and the document's size, not on server load — there's no upload or download wait.

Can I extract images from password-protected PDFs?

No, encrypted PDFs are detected and rejected with a hint to unlock them first. If you have the password and permission, remove the protection with an unlock tool, then extract from the unlocked copy.

Can I extract images on mobile devices?

Yes. The thumbnail grid is touch-friendly on phones and tablets — tap to select images, then download a single PNG or a ZIP straight to your device. Processing happens locally on the phone.

Is extracting images free?

Yes, completely free — no fees, no watermarks, no account, and no premium tiers today. All features, including the ZIP download and selection controls, are included.

What if extraction fails or produces errors?

Check that the file is a valid PDF under 50MB and not password-protected. If pages contain only vector graphics you'll get a "no images found" result rather than an error — try the PDF to Images tool instead. Refreshing and retrying resolves most one-off failures.
