Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from PDF to Images?
- PDF to Images takes a screenshot of each full page, background and all. This tool instead finds the actual embedded image files inside the PDF — a photo, a scanned picture, a logo — and pulls each one out on its own, at its original resolution, without the surrounding page.
- What if a page has no embedded images?
- Pages built entirely from text and vector graphics (shapes, lines, most charts) don't have anything to extract — there's no raster image to pull out, since nothing on the page was ever a photo or scan to begin with.
- What format do extracted images download as?
- PNG, regardless of how the image was originally embedded — this avoids re-compressing an image that may have started as a JPEG, at the cost of a larger file than the original.
- Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
- No — everything happens entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
How GetByteRush compares
Most free tools for this online work the same way: you upload your file to their server, wait, then download the result — which means your file (and often your email, for a "free" account) sits on someone else's infrastructure. Here's the actual difference:
| Feature | GetByteRush | Typical online tools |
|---|---|---|
| PDF ever leaves your device | No — extracted in this tab | Yes, uploaded to process |
| Extracts actual embedded images (not page screenshots) | Yes | Varies |
| Account required | Never | Often, past a certain usage level |
