How this actually works
Each tool runs entirely with JavaScript already loaded in this page — PDF tools via pdf-lib and pdf.js, image tools via the browser's native Canvas API, and everything else with plain JavaScript. Your files or input are read into browser memory, processed, and handed back as a download or copyable result. This page itself is served by a small Laravel route; Laravel never sees your files either. The only backend in use is Supabase, and only for two optional things: signing in with a magic link, and — only if you're signed in — a log of which tool you ran and when. Honest limits worth knowing: Compress PDF flattens each page to a re-encoded image (great for scans, not ideal if you need selectable text after); HEIC conversion uses a small on-demand converter when the browser cannot decode HEIC natively (Safari often works without it); Fill PDF Form is best-effort for simple AcroForm fields, not a full Adobe Forms replacement; and Word/Excel/PowerPoint ⇄ PDF genuinely needs a server-side engine, so it isn't included — this build only ships tools that can honestly run client-side.
Questions people actually ask
Why does it say no images were found?
That PDF's pages are likely text, vector graphics, or scanned pages rendered as one full-page image rather than separate embedded images — try PDF to JPG for scanned documents instead.
What format do extracted images come in?
Always PNG — each embedded image is decoded and re-exported as PNG, regardless of how it was originally embedded in the PDF (JPG or PNG source).
Does this extract full pages that are just one big scan?
No — that's a different case. This tool pulls out individually embedded photos or graphics; for a page that's actually one large scanned image, use PDF to JPG to export the whole page instead.
Can it find images on every page?
Yes — it scans every page of the PDF in one pass and collects everything found across the whole document.
How are multiple extracted images delivered?
As a single zip file if more than one image is found; a lone extracted image downloads directly.
Does extraction reduce image quality?
Extracted images are re-encoded as PNG during the process, which is lossless, so there's no quality loss from that step.
Will it find a background image or graphic drawn across the whole page?
Not necessarily — it targets individually embedded image objects in the page's content, not every visual element; complex vector or background-drawn graphics may not be picked up.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere to extract images?
No — pages are scanned and images decoded entirely in your browser using pdf.js.
Is this really free, and is there a file size limit?
Yes — no account, no paywall. Since processing happens in your browser's memory rather than uploading anywhere, the practical limit is your device's available RAM, not a server quota. Very large files (500+ pages) may run slower, especially for Compress and PDF→JPG.
Does anything about my file get sent anywhere?
No. Every tool runs with pdf-lib/pdf.js loaded in this page; your file is read into browser memory and never leaves it. The only network call this app makes for your account is Supabase auth — and that only stores which tool you ran and when, never file content.
Why isn't Word/Excel/PowerPoint → PDF included?
Converting Office formats accurately needs a real rendering engine (what Word or LibreOffice use internally) — no browser library does this reliably. Rather than ship a broken version, it's left out.
Does TechDriven Tools have OCR (text recognition)?
Yes — OCR PDF recognizes text in scanned or photographed pages using Tesseract.js, running entirely on your device, and gives you a searchable PDF or a plain text file. Nothing is uploaded for this either.
Can I use this without an internet connection?
Once the page and its libraries have loaded once, yes — the tools themselves need no network access. Signing in and viewing history do require a connection, since those talk to Supabase.
What happens to the "history" if I sign in?
Only a row per tool run — the tool's name and a timestamp. No filename, no file content, ever. You can see the full list any time via the History button.
Are the non-PDF utilities (password generator, JSON formatter, etc.) private too?
Yes — same rule as the PDF tools. Word Counter, Case Converter, Password Generator, UUID Generator, Base64, Hash Generator, JSON Formatter and JWT Decoder all run with plain JavaScript already loaded in this page; nothing you type or paste is sent anywhere.

Why use Extract Images from PDF
- Reuse a diagram or chart from a report in another document.
- Recover a photo that only exists embedded inside an old PDF.
- Pull assets from a design proof exported as a PDF.
- Archive images separately from the document they were embedded in.
How it works
Every image object in the PDF is rendered to a canvas and exported as a PNG file, then bundled together as a .zip when there's more than one. This means the output is always PNG regardless of how the image was originally embedded (JPEG, PNG, or another format inside the PDF) — the re-render step normalizes everything to one consistent output format.
What this doesn't do
This extracts embedded image objects specifically — it doesn't turn full pages into images (for that, see PDF to JPG), and it won't recover an image's original file format or embedded metadata, since the PNG re-render is a fresh export, not a byte-for-byte copy of the original embedded file.

Who Extract Images from PDF is for
- A desktop suite is overkill for a one-page or one-photo job.
- You want a second opinion after another converter produced a weird output.
- You need a result now and do not want another account wall.
- The file or text is sensitive enough that uploading feels wrong.
Recommended workflow
Add unlocked PDFs → set order or ranges → run → open the download and spot-check first, middle, and last pages.
- Open Extract Images from PDF (also available from category hubs and ⌘K).
- Use the labeled fields or dropzone — options match what Extract Images from PDF actually does.
- Run the tool and wait for local progress to finish.
- Download or copy the result, then verify on the device where you will share it.
Tips that improve results
- Change one setting at a time when you are comparing quality or layout.
- Keep the original until stakeholders accept the download.
- Rename the output with date + purpose before you attach it to email.
- On phones, plug in power for large PDFs, videos, or spreadsheets.
- Prefer UTF-8 text for developer converters; weird encodings cause most “broken” results.
- Start with a non-sensitive sample so you learn the options before the real file.
Common mistakes with Extract Images from PDF
- Expecting Extract Images from PDF to replace a full desktop suite for every edge-case format.
- Skipping a sample check and discovering a bad export after the original was deleted.
- Chaining many lossy image/PDF steps when one careful pass would have been enough.
- Using a public computer without clearing downloads afterward.
Privacy model
Processing for Extract Images from PDF is designed to stay in the browser. Laravel serves the page; it does not receive your file bytes for conversion. Optional Supabase auth only stores which tool you ran and when — never filenames or contents.
