How to extract images from a PDF

PDFs often contain images you need to reuse — logos, charts, photos, or screenshots. PDFRift extracts all embedded images from a PDF and saves them as individual files, all inside your browser. No uploads, no server processing, and all images stay on your device.

Step-by-step

  1. Upload your PDF above.
  2. Click "Extract images" and wait while the tool locates and extracts all images.
  3. Download individual images or click "Download all" to get a ZIP file with every image.

Why extract images in the browser?

Extracting images from a PDF normally requires paid software like Adobe Acrobat, and using an online tool means uploading your file to a stranger's server. PDFRift avoids both problems by running pdf.js in your browser to locate and extract images from the PDF's internal structure. Your file never leaves your device, and you get instant access to every embedded image.

Common use cases

Reusing logos and graphics

Extract brand logos, infographics, or diagrams from a PDF document to reuse in presentations or marketing materials.

Retrieving photos

Pull out photographs or screenshots from a PDF report, email, or marketing document.

Data visualisation

Extract charts, graphs, and statistical illustrations from research papers or financial reports.

Tips for extracting images

  • Not all images in a PDF can be extracted — some are part of the document layout and do not exist as separate image objects.
  • Extracted images are saved in PNG format for lossless quality. You can convert them to JPG afterwards if you need smaller file sizes.
  • If a PDF has many images, the extraction process may take a few seconds depending on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What image formats are extracted?

PDFRift extracts all raster images embedded in the PDF and saves them as PNG files for maximum quality.

Can I extract vector graphics (like logos)?

Vector graphics in a PDF are stored differently and are not currently extracted. Raster images and photographs are supported.

Will extraction affect the original PDF?

No — extraction is read-only. Your original PDF is never modified, and all images are saved as separate files.
