Extract Images from a PDF
As there is no way to extract images from a PDF in the iOS, we’re going to use an app. Go ahead and install PDF to Image Converter Lite on your iPhone. You can use PDFs saved on your iPhone, iCloud, GDrive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. Once you have the app on your iPhone, open the app, and tap the source where your PDF is. It is in the Files app on my iPhone so I chose My Device. Tap the PDF to load it on the app.
After parsing the PDF, you would see a preview of the pages in the PDF file, you can choose any number of pages which would be extracted. After selecting the pages, tap Convert. The app would extract the pages from the file and give you some options. Tap Download to save the images to the Files app.
Unfortunately, the app doesn’t save the images to the Photos app. To access the images, open the Files app, and navigate to the “On my iPhone” location. Find the PDFtoJPEG folder and open it by tapping the folder icon.
Here you’d find a folder with the same as the PDF file and the images in this folder. You can now do whatever you want with the images, such as sharing it on social media or sending it to other devices via Airdrop or email etc.
