Save the photos and pictures inside a PDF as separate image files, at their original quality.
QUICK ANSWER
To extract images from a PDF, add the file and choose Extract images. StackPDF pulls out the pictures embedded in the PDF at their original resolution, and you download them as a .zip. It doesn’t screenshot the pages; use PDF to JPG for that. It runs in your browser, so your file isn’t uploaded.

Drop it here, or choose it from your computer, your phone or My files.
StackPDF lists the pictures embedded in the file, with their sizes.
Save them together as a .zip, at the quality they have in the PDF.
GOOD TO KNOW
Both give you image files, but they work in different ways.
| TOOL | WHAT YOU GET | USE IT WHEN |
|---|---|---|
| Extract images | The pictures inside the PDF, as they were added | You want the original photos or logos |
| PDF to JPG | A picture of each whole page | You want the page as it looks, text and all |
Scanned PDFs often hold one image per page, so extracting gives you the scans themselves.
PRIVACY
Yes. Extract images from PDF runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
StackPDF opens the PDF in your browser tab and does the work there.
Close the tab and it’s gone. Free results download to your device. Premium can also keep them in My files.
pdf-lib, PDF.js and qpdf do the work, inside your browser.
