Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries regarding client-side PDF image extraction.
Q.Will this affect text or layout arrangement?
No. The image removal retains the structural page hierarchy and grid coordinates. It simply strips raw image streams without altering surrounding layout boxes.
Q.Can I choose which images to remove?
Yes. The scanner extracts thumbnails and sizes of all embedded images, allowing you to selectively check or uncheck individual image XObjects.
Q.Does this compress vector graphics?
No. Vector graphic path commands (like SVGs or lines) are not stored as image streams, so they are not affected by this removal tool.
Q.Is my scanned PDF readable after image removal?
If a PDF is a scanned document (meaning pages are complete images without OCR text), removing the images will remove all page contents. Make sure the document contains real text before purging.
