This is a modified version of the @Gonzales answer with an additional python code to copy the figures to a new folder.

After using snapshot package to generate the .dep file:

\RequirePackage{snapshot} \documentclass{article} 

use the following python code (say copy_figs.py) to copy the figures to a separate folder (for example, figs_used):

import os import shutil DEP_FILE = './My_Latex_File.dep' TARGET_DIR = 'figs_used/' EXTENSIONS = ['pdf', 'png'] with open(DEP_FILE, 'r') as f: for line in f: if '*{file}' not in line: continue _, e = os.path.splitext(line) e = e.lower() if e not in EXTENSIONS: continue  value = line.split('{')[2].split('}')   source = value[0]  print(source) shutil.copy(source, TARGET_DIR)   break 

To run the python code:

c:\Python27\python.exe copy_figs.py 

in the folder where the Latex file is placed. It is assumed the original figures are in figs subfolder, and those figures used in the Latex file are copied to figs_used subfolder. The code copies .png and .pdf figure files.

After using snapshot package to generate the .dep file:
