Save images or ZIP
Save one item directly or package all assets with page-aware names.
How is this different from PDF to image?
PDF to image exports the final appearance of each page. Image extraction exports the original embedded images—photos, screenshots and graphic assets—used inside those pages, rather than manufacturing page screenshots.
How does it avoid needless recompression?
Reusable JPEG and JPEG 2000 streams retain their original compressed bytes. Resources that need colour interpretation or mask composition are exported as lossless PNG.

Frequently asked questions
These visible answers match the current product behaviour and structured data.
Can it extract a scanned page image?
Yes when the scan is stored as an image resource; vector pages are not turned into manufactured screenshots.
Will JPEG quality change?
Not when the original JPEG bytes can be reused safely.
Are images uploaded?
No. Parsing, deduplication and packaging are local.
