Choose one file.\n\nBrowser file-input limit: 20971520 bytes in total. HTTP limits can differ.\n\nNo additional settings are declared for this tool.\n\n### HTTP contract\n\nAPI calls process supplied data on the server. The website origin is `https://happytails.ai`.

Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nExtract embedded images rather than render full pages; preserve actual resolutions.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"extract-pdf-images\",\n  \"category\": \"pdf-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Extract embedded images rather than render full pages; preserve actual resolutions.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [],\n    \"files\": true,\n    \"accept\": \".pdf\",\n    \"multiple\": false,\n    \"input\": false,\n    \"processing\": \"Server required\",\n    \"native\": true,\n    \"maxFileBytes\": 20971520,\n    \"note\": \"Processed by the local, self-hosted engine.

([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/pdf-to-jpg.md))\n\n- [PDF to PNG](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/pdf-to-png/): Render PDF pages as PNG images. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/pdf-to-png.md))\n\n- [PDF to text](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/pdf-to-text/): Extract selectable text from PDF pages. ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/pdf-tools/pdf-to-text.md))\n\n## How to use Extract PDF images\n\n1. Choose a file in PDF.\n2. Review the settings, then choose Run Extract PDF images.\n3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\n\n## What to expect\n\nExtract embedded raster images from a PDF into a ZIP. Processed by the local, self-hosted engine. No third-party conversion service is used. Extracts embedded raster images at their original resolution, with soft masks applied when supported. Does not render whole pages.\n"
