# Extract Images

You can use the File Extraction API to extract images within the file by specifying the following in the `formats.ini` file:

    [Options]
    ExtractImages=TRUE

If you set this option, images within the file behave in the same way as any other subfile. Extracted images have the name `image[X].[Y]`, where `[X]` is an integer, and `[Y]` is the extension. The format of the image is the same as the format in which it is stored in the document.

This option can also be enabled by passing `KVFLT_EXTRACTIMAGES` to the `fpFilterConfig` function.

NOTE: Turning on `ExtractImages` can reduce the speed of the filtering operation.
