Frequently asked questions about PDF image extractor

Will every visible graphic be extracted?

Not necessarily. Some graphics are vectors, masks, or page content rather than standalone embedded images.

Does it create one image per page?

No. It extracts embedded image objects; page conversion is a different task.

What format are the results?

The extracted files are PNG images delivered inside a ZIP archive.

Does the tool change my original file?

No. It creates a ZIP archive and leaves the PDF unchanged.

Can I use it with a password-protected PDF?

A protected PDF may need to be unlocked before the tool can read or process it.

Will large files take longer?

They can. Processing time depends on the file size, page count, and the work required for each page.
