Frequently Asked Questions

Will the images be the original resolution?

Yes. PDF embeds images at the resolution set when the PDF was created — extraction recovers them unchanged.

What if the same image appears multiple times?

Each visual occurrence is extracted, even if it's the same underlying image data. Use deduplication after if needed.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Yes — each page of a scanned PDF is one big image. The tool extracts that page-image directly.
