Pull Product Photos from Supplier Catalog PDFs When Originals Were Never Sent
Suppliers send product catalogs as PDFs but rarely include the original photo files — leaving e-commerce teams to manually screenshot product images that look blurry at listing size. Deliteful extracts every embedded product photo from a supplier catalog PDF as a separate image file at the resolution it was placed, ready for listing upload without the screenshot workaround.
New product onboarding stalls when a supplier sends a 200-page PDF catalog and no separate image assets. Marketplace listings on Amazon, Shopify, and wholesale platforms require clean, high-resolution product photos — not 72 DPI screenshots cropped from a PDF viewer. Requesting original photos from a supplier can take days or weeks, and some suppliers simply do not maintain organized image libraries separate from their catalog files. The photos exist at useful resolution inside the PDF; the obstacle is extraction.
Deliteful pulls embedded raster images from any PDF as individual files at the resolution they were stored during catalog production. Product photos placed at 200–300 DPI in an InDesign catalog extract at that resolution — typically sufficient for web listing use and often for print as well. At 1 credit per catalog PDF, extracting a full product image set for a new supplier relationship takes seconds rather than days of asset-request back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions
- Will extracted product photos be high enough resolution for Amazon or Shopify listings?
- Amazon requires a minimum of 1000px on the longest side for zoom functionality; Shopify recommends 2048px. Extraction resolution depends on how the supplier embedded photos in the catalog — photos placed at 200 DPI or higher in a standard page-size catalog typically extract at 1000–2000px, which meets most marketplace requirements. Screenshots from a PDF viewer rarely exceed 800px at standard zoom.
- Will I get separate image files for each product, or one large file?
- Each embedded image in the PDF extracts as a separate file. A catalog page with three product photos will produce three separate image files. However, images extract as stored internally in the PDF, so cropped or overlapping product photos on a single page may not separate cleanly if the supplier embedded them as a single composite image.
- What if the catalog has lifestyle photos mixed in with product shots?
- All embedded raster images are extracted — lifestyle photos, background textures, logo images, and product shots alike. You will receive the full set and need to sort the relevant product images from the others. Vector design elements such as borders and icons are not extracted.
- Can I use this for supplier line sheets as well as full catalogs?
- Yes. Line sheets are standard PDFs and extract identically to full catalogs. Upload the line sheet PDF and download the embedded product images as separate files.
