Python-Net: Delete All Images from PDF

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

PDF documents often contain images for illustrations, branding, or decoration. There may be cases where you need to remove all images from a PDF, such as reducing file size, protecting sensitive visuals, or preparing a text-only version.

Using PdfContentEditor, you can programmatically remove all images from a PDF, ensuring the document only contains textual content. This example binds an input PDF, deletes all images, and saves the modified file.

Create the PdfContentEditor object.
Bind the input PDF.
Delete All images.
Save the updated Document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def delete_all_image(infile, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Delete all images from the document
    content_editor.delete_image()
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)

Python-Net: Delete Images from PDF

Sometimes, you may want to remove only certain images from a PDF rather than clearing all visuals. With PdfContentEditor, you can delete selected images by specifying the page number and the image index.

This code snippet binds an input PDF, deletes the second image on page 1, and saves the modified PDF, leaving other images intact.

Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
Bind the input PDF document.
Delete specific images from a designated page.
Save the updated PDF document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def delete_images(infile, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Delete image on page 1
    content_editor.delete_image(1, [2])
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)

PDFs often contain images that may need to be updated or replaced, such as logos, diagrams, or photos. With PdfContentEditor, you can replace a specific image on a given page by providing the page number, image index, and new image file path.

Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
Bind the input PDF document.
Replace a specific image on a given page.
Save the updated PDF document.

import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def replace_image(infile, image_file, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Replace image on page 1
    content_editor.replace_image(1, 1, image_file)
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)
