Image Extractor
Drop a PowerPoint, Word, or PDF file and see every embedded image at once. Pick the ones you want and download them in a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded — the file is read and processed locally.
What the Image Extractor tool does
When you receive a deck or PDF from someone else and just need the photos out of it, the manual route is painful: open the file, right-click each image, save-as, deal with duplicate filenames, repeat. This tool opens the file once and shows you every image at the same time — pick the ones you need, download as a ZIP.
Three file types in one URL:
- PowerPoint (.pptx): reads
ppt/media/*— preserves the original PNG / JPEG / WebP encoding. - Word (.docx): reads
word/media/*— same approach. - PDF: renders each page in your browser, walks the page's image cache, and exports every image as a PNG.
How it works
A .pptx or .docx file is technically a zip archive. Embedded images live in a conventional media/ folder inside the archive. The tool unpacks the archive in your browser, filters for image MIME types, and serves them back as a preview grid.
A PDF is more involved. Image data isn't stored in a single folder — it's referenced from each page's content stream. The tool loads the PDF locally and renders each page offscreen at 100% scale. Rendering populates a per-page image cache, which the tool then walks to extract every unique image. Each is drawn to a canvas at native resolution and exported as a PNG.
All of this happens locally. Your file is never uploaded.
Limitations in this version
- Vector graphics (PowerPoint SmartArt, charts, native PowerPoint shapes) aren't exported because they aren't stored as images — they're rendered by PowerPoint at display time.
- PDF images come out as PNG even if the original was JPEG — the renderer returns decoded pixel data, not the original encoded bytes.
- Embedded videos are skipped (only image MIME types are extracted).
- Encrypted / password-protected PDFs are not yet supported; we'll add prompted-password support in a follow-up.
- Animated GIFs come through as the first frame only.
What to do with the extracted images
Once you've pulled the photos, illustrations, or charts you need, you can drop them into a fresh deck rather than wrestling with the original file's layout. Designed presentation templates make this much faster: you choose a layout, paste your images into the placeholders, and you're done.
