Is the document uploaded to decode it?

No. pdf.js decodes each image inside this tab, the pixels are redrawn onto a canvas on your machine and the PNGs are zipped locally, so no request carries the file. Worth knowing, because the pictures buried in a PDF are often ID scans or signatures nobody meant to publish.

Are there limits on what it will pull out?

It stops after 400 images, and skips any single image over 16,000 px a side or 30 megapixels.

How it works

Extract Images From a PDF as PNG Files

Pulls the bitmaps embedded in a PDF at their stored pixel size, saves each one as a PNG and drops repeats by matching a SHA-256 hash.

What this does

Every image comes out at its stored resolution, not the size it prints at
A logo repeated on forty pages is saved once, matched by content hash
Skip anything under 32 px, or take every image object including rules and spacers
Files are named page-3-image-1.png and zipped when there is more than one

FAQ

Not everything that looks like a picture is a bitmap. Charts and diagrams exported from Illustrator or LaTeX are usually vector drawing instructions, and there is no image file inside the document to pull out. Text is not an image either. What this reads is the image objects a page paints, which means photos and scans and little else, to get pictures of the pages themselves, render them with PDF to JPG instead.
