## TL;DR

Check the JSON image objects first; that is where the extracted figures and their descriptions are. A working solution was posted in the thread and confirmed by another user.

## Fix

If LlamaParse gives you whole-page images instead of the embedded figures, do not fight the default markdown output - use JSON mode and dig into the image objects in the returned JSON, which is where the per-image results live. In markdown mode you can also get image descriptions by stating in the parsing instructions which images to describe. Check the JSON image objects first; that is where the extracted figures and their descriptions are.

Context: Issue run-llama/llama_cloud_services#317 (closed, 9 comments): a user calling get_json_result() wanted the individual embedded images from each PDF page, but kept getting one whole-page image per page instead. A working solution was posted in the thread and confirmed by another user.
