Extract the embedded pictures

Recover pictures stored inside a PDF

A PDF can contain photos, scanned pages, logos, diagrams and other raster images as separate objects. FigureOwl finds those stored pictures and exports each one as a PNG at its embedded pixel dimensions. This is useful for recovering figures from reports, saving product photos from a catalog or retrieving a logo from an old document.

Embedded images are different from PDF pages

This tool extracts raster image objects; it does not render an entire page. Surrounding text, margins and vector lines are not included. Use PDF to JPG when you need one image of every complete page. Vector artwork, such as paths from illustration software, has no embedded pixel image to recover.

Remove repeated logos and tiny decorative assets

PDFs often reuse one logo, background or bullet on many pages. Duplicate removal keeps one copy of identical exported pixels. The minimum-size control can ignore icons and other small assets, or you can keep every detected size when the small image itself matters.

PNG output preserves transparency

Every recovered item is encoded as PNG, a lossless format that supports transparent pixels. A document with one matching image downloads that PNG directly. Multiple images download together in a ZIP with filenames containing the source page, image position and pixel dimensions.

What the page number means

The filename records the first page on which FigureOwl found that image. With duplicate removal enabled, later identical uses are skipped. Some PDFs split one visible picture into several pieces or use clipping masks, so the extracted objects may not always match what appears to be one picture on screen.

Private browser-local extraction

The PDF is read on your device and is not sent to FigureOwl. The tool accepts one PDF up to 100 MB and 100 pages. Processing time and memory use depend on document complexity and the number and size of embedded images.

Frequently asked questions

It reads embedded raster image objects and preserves their stored pixel dimensions, then exports their decoded pixels as lossless PNG files.

PDF to JPG makes a picture of each complete page. This tool recovers separate embedded pictures without the page text and margins.

The PDF may contain only text and vector artwork, or every raster object may be smaller than the selected minimum size. Try Keep every size before concluding there are none.

Some PDF creators store one visible composition as several image objects or masks. Extraction follows the document structure rather than guessing how pieces should be combined.

Not as a raster image. Vector paths are drawing instructions rather than stored pixels. Convert the full page to JPG or crop a rendered page when you need vector artwork as an image.

PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so decoded pixels and transparent areas are not damaged by another lossy compression pass.

It compares the exported pixel content and keeps one copy when an identical image is reused across pages.

No. Image detection, decoding, duplicate checking and ZIP creation all run locally in your browser.
