Strip the images, keep the words

Remove Images from PDF deletes pictures and graphics from a PDF in your browser — every image at once, or just the ones you click. The text and layout stay intact, the file gets smaller, and nothing is uploaded. Choose how the gaps are filled, then download.

Load a PDF and you get a thumbnail grid with a badge on each page showing how many images it contains, plus a running count of images detected and pending removal. For quick jobs, Remove All Images strips every graphic in one click. For precise control, open a page in the modal editor where each image is outlined with a clickable box — click the ones you want gone and leave the rest. You can also limit removal to certain pages with the Select Pages by Number field (for example, "1, 3-5, 8").

A Fill Mode setting decides what replaces a removed image: White keeps a clean, print-ready look, Transparent leaves the area empty, and Match Background blends it in. There's also a raster/vector filter to target photos versus drawn graphics.

Everything runs locally, so confidential reports or personal documents are never uploaded. Removing images can shrink a file dramatically — image-heavy PDFs often drop from tens of megabytes to a fraction of that — while your text stays selectable and the layout unchanged. There's no watermark and no signup, and your original file isn't modified.

Two honest pointers: if you want to keep the images but make them smaller, use Compress Images Inside PDF; if you want to save the images as files, use Extract Images from PDF.

When removing images helps

How to remove images from a PDF

Step 1: Upload your PDF

Drag it in or click Select PDF File. The grid shows each page with an image-count badge.

Step 2: Choose what to remove

Click Remove All Images for everything, or open a page to click individual image boxes in the modal editor. Use Select Pages by Number to limit removal to a range like "1, 3-5".

Step 3: Set the fill

Pick a Fill Mode — White, Transparent, or Match Background — for the space each removed image leaves.

Step 4: Apply and download

Click Apply & Download to save the new PDF.

Realistic example. A 40MB illustrated report needs to go out by email as text. Click Remove All Images, set Fill Mode to White, and Apply & Download — a lightweight, readable document that attaches easily.

Advanced tip. Need to keep one diagram but drop the rest? Open each page in the modal and click only the images you want removed, leaving the diagram's box untouched.

Common mistake to avoid. Removing images deletes them from the downloaded copy — if you might need them later, save them first with Extract Images from PDF.

Recommendation. Want smaller images instead of none? Use Compress Images Inside PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove images from a PDF?

Upload the PDF, then click Remove All Images to strip every graphic, or open a page to click the individual image boxes you want gone. Pick a Fill Mode for the gaps, then click Apply & Download. The text and layout stay in place, and everything runs in your browser.

Can I remove just one image instead of all of them?

Yes. Open a page in the modal editor and each image is outlined with a clickable box — click only the ones you want to delete and leave the rest. You can also limit removal to certain pages with the Select Pages by Number field, so a single unwanted photo can go while everything else stays.

Does removing images keep the text and layout?

Yes. The tool removes only the image objects and never touches the text, fonts, or positioning, so paragraphs, headings, and footers stay exactly where they were. The space an image occupied is filled according to your Fill Mode choice, so the page still reads cleanly.

Does removing images shrink the file size?

Usually a lot. In most PDFs the text and fonts are tiny compared to embedded photos and scans, so deleting those graphics can take a file from tens of megabytes down to a fraction of a megabyte. That makes it easy to email or upload where the original was too big.

What does the Fill Mode setting do?

It decides what replaces a removed image. White drops a clean white block (best for printing), Transparent leaves the area empty so the page background shows, and Match Background blends the space with the surrounding page. Choose White for printer-friendly output and Transparent or Match for on-screen viewing.

Can I remove images on only some pages?

Yes. Type the pages into the Select Pages by Number field — for example "1, 3-5, 8" — so removal applies only there. This is useful when, say, the cover image should stay but graphics in the body should go.

Should I remove the images or compress them?

Remove them if you don't need the visuals at all — that gives the biggest size reduction. If you want to keep the images but make the file smaller, use Compress Images Inside PDF, which lowers their resolution instead of deleting them. Pick based on whether the pictures still matter.

Are my files uploaded — is it safe?

No. The whole process runs in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device or reaches a server. That matters when you're stripping a confidential photo or working with sensitive reports. Closing the tab clears the file from memory.

Can I remove images on my phone's browser?

Yes. The tool works in any modern browser on iPhone or Android — no app needed. Upload, tap Remove All Images or open pages to tap individual boxes, then download. Very large, image-heavy documents process faster on a laptop than on an older phone.

Is it free, with no watermark or signup?

Yes. Removing images is free, the result has no watermark, and there's no account to create. Strip the graphics you don't want and download a clean file — no paywall before the download.

Does it change my original PDF?

No. The tool builds a new PDF with the images removed for you to download; your original stays exactly as it was on your device. Keep it until you've confirmed the result, since removed images can't be added back to the new file.

What's the raster vs vector filter for?

It lets you target the type of graphic you want to remove. Raster covers photos and scans (the usual culprits for big files), while Vector covers drawn shapes and some logos. Filtering helps when you want to strip heavy photos but keep crisp vector elements, or vice versa.
