Extract Pages

Pull selected pages out of a PDF into a new file. Free and private.

Runs in your browser — your file never leaves your device.

Pull specific pages out of a PDF and save them as a new document, in the browser, without uploading the file. Type the pages you want — 1, 4, 7-9 — and Extract Pages marks them in the preview so you can check before committing. Pages you list get a green tick, the rest dim, and the saved file contains only the ones you kept, in their original document order. It is the tool for sending someone chapter three without chapters one, two and four.

How to use Extract Pages

  1. Click "Select PDF file" and choose the PDF to take pages from.
  2. Type the pages into the box, in the same 1,3-5 style a print dialog uses. Ranges and single pages can be mixed.
  3. Check the preview: the pages you listed carry a green tick and the others fade, so you can see exactly what the new file will hold before you save.
  4. Click "Extract Pages" and download the smaller document.

Who it is for

Extract Pages is the tool for sending only what was asked for. A lender wants the last two pages of a statement; a candidate sends a portfolio section rather than the whole book; a teacher pulls one chapter for a class; an accountant takes the invoice pages out of a combined export. It is faster than splitting when you want one smaller document rather than several, and it is the right choice when the recipient should not receive the rest at all.

How it works

  • The pages you name are copied into a new document and everything else is left behind. The output is built by copying page objects, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
  • The preview dims the pages you did not list and ticks the ones you did, so the file you are about to download is visible before you commit to it.
  • The result is renumbered from 1 in document order — typing 4,2 gives you what was page 2 first, then page 4.

What it cannot do

  • The extracted file always follows document order, not the order you typed the numbers. If you need a specific sequence, extract the pages and reorder them with Organize PDF.
  • A page listed twice is kept once. Duplicating a page needs Merge PDF against the original.
  • Any cross-reference in the body text to "page 7" will no longer match the new file, so add fresh page numbers if the document is going to be read on its own.
  • Encrypted PDFs cannot be read until the password is removed.

Frequently asked questions

Do the extracted pages keep their numbering?

The new file contains only the pages you chose, renumbered from 1 in document order — so if you typed 4,2 you get what was page 2 first, then what was page 4. If the original body text refers to "page 7", that reference will not match the new file; add page numbers with Add Page Numbers if the sequence matters.

Can I extract the same page twice?

No — a page listed twice is kept once. If you need a duplicate, extract it and merge the result with the original using Merge PDF.

What happens to the rest of the document?

Nothing. The original file is untouched; you download a new, smaller PDF. That also means extracting is safe to experiment with, since a wrong selection costs a re-run and nothing else.

Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?

Only after removing the password. Encrypted pages cannot be read until the file is decrypted, so start with Unlock PDF on a file you own, then extract from the unlocked copy.

Is the file uploaded?

No. The PDF is read and rewritten inside your browser tab, so a confidential document never reaches a server. No account, no watermark.
