What is Remove Images?
Removing images from a PDF strips embedded photos and graphics, leaving only the text layer — useful for creating lightweight, text-only versions of image-heavy documents.
The tool removes image objects from the PDF structure. Text, vector graphics, and annotations are preserved. The result is a significantly smaller file suitable for text-based uses.
Use cases: creating a text-only version of a report for accessibility tools, reducing file size by stripping decorative images, preparing a clean text document from a formatted PDF, or removing embedded photos before sharing a document that contains personally identifying images.
