Purpose
What does Extract images from PDF do?
Use Extract images from PDF to choose one PDF, recover embedded pictures at their stored resolution. This exports original image resources when possible instead of taking lower-quality screenshots of each page. Filozy starts the document engine only after you choose a file, performs the work inside this tab, and creates a new result for you to save. Your selected document, its filename, and its contents are not sent to Filozy.
Who normally uses it?
This guide is useful for people reusing text, tables, page images, and embedded pictures from an existing PDF. The working tool is focused on one outcome: The original pictures at their own resolution, not screenshots.

Before you start
- Check whether the PDF has selectable text; image-only scans normally need OCR before text conversion.
