Tips & Tricks

Get the best extraction results

Pro tips for clean, efficient image extraction from any PDF.

Filter small images to reduce noise

PDFs often contain tiny decorative elements like bullets or spacer GIFs. Set a minimum size filter of 50x50px to skip them.

Use PNG for images with transparency

If your PDF contains logos or icons with transparent backgrounds, choose PNG output to preserve the alpha channel.

Check image count before extracting

The tool shows how many images are embedded. If the count seems low, some content may be vector graphics, not raster images.

Use ZIP download for large PDFs

For PDFs with 20+ images, downloading as a ZIP is much faster than saving each file individually and keeps everything organized.

Page range for targeted extraction

If you only need images from specific sections, use page range selection to skip irrelevant pages and speed up extraction.

Original format preserves metadata

When you choose original format, EXIF data, color profiles, and DPI information are preserved from the embedded image.
