This lib cannot get or extract images (like figures or graphs) from pdf, but you can create an image (thumbnail) from whole page:

const options = { page: 1, imageType: 'png', width: 160, height: 226 }
pdf2html.thumbnail('sample.pdf', options, (err, thumbnailPath) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error('Conversion error: ' + err)
    } else {
        console.log(thumbnailPath)
    }
})

For more advanced manipulations use node-poppler or Mozilla's pdf.js

Like @reregaga mentioned. this library doesn't extract images. Please feel free to do PR if you would like to add this.
