Strip photos, graphics, and diagrams from any PDF in three quick steps.
Drag and drop your PDF or click to browse. The document loads instantly in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server. Works with image-heavy reports, presentations exported to PDF, brochures, and any other document.
Navigate through the document and draw boxes around each image you want removed. This works for photos, screenshots, charts, diagrams, icons, decorative graphics — any visual element on the page. Mark images across as many pages as needed.
Pick a fill mode — White for a clean look that leaves the space blank, Auto Match if the image sits on a colored background, Blur to soften without a harsh blank area. Click Remove & Download and your image-free PDF is ready.

When you need to strip images and how to get the cleanest results.
Why Remove Images from PDFs? There are several common reasons. You might want to reduce a PDF to text-only for accessibility or printing purposes. Confidential photos in HR documents or medical records may need removal before sharing. Outdated product images in catalogs need stripping when updating materials. Charts with incorrect data need removing before the document is redistributed. Some users simply want to lighten a heavy PDF by removing unnecessary graphics.
Image Types You Can Remove The tool handles every kind of embedded visual — photographs, screenshots, vector graphics rendered on the page, charts, graphs, diagrams, icons, decorative borders, background images, and any other graphical element. Since the tool works by visually erasing marked areas on the rendered page, it doesn't matter how the image was originally embedded in the PDF. If you can see it, you can erase it.
Understanding the Result When you remove an image, the space it occupied remains on the page — the surrounding text and content don't reflow to fill the gap. This is because the tool works on the visual layout as rendered. The result is a clean blank area where the image was. If you need to reflow text after removing images, you'd need to export the content to a word processor. For most use cases — removing a photo from a report, stripping a chart from a presentation — the blank space is perfectly acceptable.
Common questions about removing images from PDF documents.
Yes. Draw a box around the specific photo you want removed. Only the marked area is erased — all other images and content on the page remain untouched.
Yes. Charts, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs, flowcharts, and any graphical data visualization can be erased by drawing a box around them.
No. The tool erases the image area and fills it with your chosen mode, but surrounding content stays in its original position. The layout remains the same, just without the image.
You need to mark each image individually by drawing a box around it. Navigate through pages, mark each image, and all are erased in one click when you hit Remove & Download.
Not necessarily. Modified pages are re-rendered as high-quality images themselves. If you need to reduce file size, use ConvertKr's Compress PDF tool after removing the images.
Yes. If the background image is visible, draw a box over the area. Auto Match fill mode works well for maintaining a natural look. Be aware that text overlaying the background in the marked area will also be covered.
