Real-world use cases
Recover the photos from a presentation
Situation: You have a 40-slide PPTX and need the photos in it, but you lost the original files.
- Open the tool and drag the file onto the upload area (or click to choose). You can upload up to 20 documents at once.
- Wait for the reading: the images appear as thumbnails, with the format and the source file.
- Use the format filter if you want to see only one type (for example, PNG).
- Click “Download image” on a thumbnail or “Download all (.ZIP)” to take everything at once.
- Point 1: Filter by format, if you want to see only one type (for example, PNG).
- Point 2: Each thumbnail shows the format and the source file. Click to enlarge or download an image.
- Point 3: Download all (.ZIP) takes them all at once; you can also check just a few.
Result: The document’s images, in the same format and with the same quality they were inserted with.
Pull the images out of a PDF or Word report
Situation: You want to reuse the charts and photos from a report.
- Upload the PDF, the DOCX or the OpenDocument file.
- Check the images found in the gallery. In PDFs, the images embedded in the pages come out.
- Download only the ones you want, one by one.
- Point 1: In PDFs, the images embedded in the pages come out. Check the ones you want, or use Select all and Invert.
- Point 2: Download what you checked or all of them in a ZIP.
Result: The report’s images, ready to use in another document.
See what is inside a ZIP
Situation: You received a ZIP package and want to know which images it contains before unpacking everything.
- Upload the ZIP.
- See the gallery with the package’s images, each one showing its source file.
- Download only what you want or all of them in a new ZIP.
- Upload Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, PDF or ZIP (up to 20 documents). Everything is read in the browser.
Result: Only the images you chose, without opening the whole package.
Tips for a better result
- If you want the whole PDF page as an image (and not the embedded photos), use the PDF tool to convert pages to JPG.
- To download many at once, use “Download all (.ZIP)”.
- Check the copyright before reusing an image that is not yours.
Limits, and when this is not the best option
- Only embedded images are extracted: in a scanned PDF, each page is a single image.
- Password-protected files cannot be read.
- The tool does not extract text. For text from images and scanned PDFs, use WebFaz OCR.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the original quality kept?
- Yes. The images are copied as they are in the file, with no recompression.
- Is my document sent to a server?
- No, everything runs in the browser.
- Why did the tool not find images in my PDF?
- The PDF may have only text and vector drawings, which are not embedded images. In scanned PDFs, each page comes out as a single image.
- Can I download them all at once?
- Yes, in a ZIP file.
