Extract Pages

Runs in your browser

Take selected pages out of a PDF and put them in a new file, all in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and there is no limit. Pick the pages from the grid and download just those.

or drop them here, or paste

One file. It stays on your device.

Extracting is the mirror image of removing. You choose the pages you want to keep rather than the ones you want gone, and the output contains only those, in the order they appeared in the original.

Everything happens inside this page. Your file is read by JavaScript running on your own machine, and no part of it is sent anywhere.

When to extract and when to split

Extract when you want one new document made of specific pages. Pulling the three pages of an invoice out of a forty page bank statement is extraction.

Split when you want the whole document broken into several documents. Cutting that same statement into twelve monthly files is splitting. The split tool has modes for fixed chunks and one file per page, which extraction does not.

The original is never touched

Extraction reads your file and writes a new one. The file on your disk is exactly as it was, with the same size and the same modification date. This matters when the source is a signed or archived document you are not allowed to alter.

The extracted file, on the other hand, is a genuinely new document. Any signature on the original does not carry over, because a signature covers the whole file and this is a different file.

Order follows the original

Pages come out in document order regardless of the order you ticked them, so selecting page 9 and then page 2 gives you a file with page 2 first. Use the organize tool if you need them in a different sequence.

Questions about Extract Pages

How do I extract pages from a PDF?

Add the file, click the thumbnails of the pages you want to keep, then press Extract Pages. You get a new PDF containing only those pages, and your original file is unchanged.

Can I extract pages without uploading the PDF?

Yes. The document is read and the new file is written inside your browser, so nothing is transmitted and there is no server copy to worry about.

What is the difference between extracting and splitting?

Extracting makes one new file out of the pages you pick. Splitting breaks the whole document into several files, either at ranges you set or in fixed chunks.

Where this runs
