Extracting Images from PDF File For Free

Extract , Free , Image , Inkscape , JPEG , PDF , PNG , SVG

Had this problem a while back when I needed a logo SVG in a PDF brand guidelines document. I ended up asking one of the UX designers who had a Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. This is how to extract it for free on your own.

  1. Install Inkscape
  2. Open the PDF file and select the page the image is on
  3. Select the image and copy
  4. Open a new Inkscape page, paste the image
  5. Edit -> Resize Page to Select or Shift + Ctrl + R
  6. Save (dat money)
