I hope you are looking at this tagged point on this page:

https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows

Wich one should i download to extract the images from pdf?


I would download the recommended one there if you have a 64 bit CPU, since
you seem to be using Microsoft Windows on a machine with a fairly
reasonable amount of memory, etc.

If you need to compile it and don't like Microsoft's Visual C environment,
Cygwin can be useful. But I doubt you need to compile it, anyway.

Mac OS downloads are above that tag on the same page.

If you are using a Linux or BSD OS, you can install the imagemagick package
from the distribution's packaging system, which I recommend, even though it
won't be the latest-greatest version.

and btw it is from a

Yes, imagemagick is a command-line tool, although there are (limited, of
course) GUI imagemagick tools available in some OS/environment combinations.

Some of the GUI tools support bulk operations, but the command-line tool
gives greatest flexibility, with a bit of practice.
