About Extract Images from PDF
Images stored inside the PDF are saved as they are, at the resolution they were embedded with, rather than as screenshots of the page. One image downloads on its own; several come together in a ZIP.
Text, vector drawings and charts are not images, so they are not extracted. To save whole pages as pictures, use PDF to JPG.
Extract images or convert pages?
| Tool | You get | Best for |

| Extract Images | Each embedded picture at its stored resolution | Reusing photos from a brochure or report |
| PDF to JPG | Each whole page as one picture | Sharing pages, slides or scans |
Good to know
Images keep the resolution they were stored with, which can be lower than the page looks when zoomed out. Logos and charts drawn as vectors are not images and will not appear.

Questions
Why are some pictures missing?
Charts, logos and diagrams are often drawn as vector graphics rather than stored as images, so there is nothing to extract.
Why did a scanned PDF give one image per page?
Each scanned page is stored as a single image.
What if the PDF has no images?
You see a message saying no images were found.
