Questions

›Are the images recompressed?

No. JPEG photos are saved byte for byte exactly as they are stored in the PDF, so there is no quality loss at all. Other images are rebuilt as lossless PNG files, keeping transparency where the PDF has it. A JPEG can't hold transparency, so if the PDF pairs one with a see-through mask, the JPEG is saved without it and labeled.

›Why is an image smaller or cropped differently than on the page?

You get the image as it is stored in the file, at its own resolution. The PDF may scale, crop or rotate it when drawing the page. To capture a page exactly as it looks, use PDF to JPG instead.

›Why are some things missing?

Only real images can be extracted. Charts, logos and diagrams drawn as vector shapes, and text, are not stored as pictures. Tiny images such as icons and spacers are hidden by default; untick the option to see them.

›Which image types are supported?

JPEG (kept as is, CMYK ones included), and lossless images in color, grayscale or a color palette. JPEG 2000, JBIG2 and fax-compressed images, and lossless CMYK ones, are decoded with the built-in PDF renderer and saved as PNG.

›Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Your files are processed on your own device by your browser. They never touch our servers, so there are no upload waits, no size caps from us, and nothing to delete afterwards.
