Extract pages from a PDF

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

Select the pages you need and download them as a new PDF, leaving the original untouched. Handy for sending one section of a long report, or a single signed page out of a contract.

Pick pages by clicking the thumbnails or by typing a range such as "2, 5-9". The two stay in sync, so you can see exactly what you are about to extract.

Pages are copied at full fidelity — the extract is a genuine copy, not a re-render, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.

How to extract pages from a PDF

  1. Add the PDF you want to take pages from.
  2. Select the pages to keep, by clicking them or typing ranges.
  3. Press Extract (the button names how many pages) and download a new PDF containing only those pages.

Which pages end up in the file, and in what order

Choosing pages works as on /delete-pdf-pages: tap the thumbnails, or type numbers and spans such as 2, 5-9. The pages always come out in their original order, whatever order you type or tap them in, so 9, 2 gives page 2 first; to change the order, open the result in /reorder-pdf-pages. Each page keeps its size and its rotation, so a landscape page or a page shown turned comes out the same way.

What the new file keeps

The extract is made by removing every page you did not choose from a copy of the document, so what belongs to the pages you kept stays with them: text, pictures, comments, form fields that can still be filled in, links between kept pages, the title and author, and the bookmarks that open a kept page. A link or bookmark that led to a page you left out is removed rather than left pointing nowhere.

Nothing of the left-out pages is written into the new file: not their text, their pictures or the values in their form fields. The file is named after the original with -extracted added.

Extract, delete or split

Extract and /delete-pdf-pages build the new file the same way and differ only in what you pick, so choose whichever list is shorter. To cut a long file into several parts that each stay under a size limit, use /split-pdf. To divide it at pages you choose, use Page ranges in /split-pdf: each range becomes its own file.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This conversion runs inside your browser using your own device’s processing power, and the file is not uploaded. Once a tool has been used once (video, text recognition and background removal download their engine from this site the first time), it keeps working when your connection drops.
Does the original file change?
No. A new document is produced and the file on your device is left exactly as it was.
Can I extract pages into separate files?
This produces one document from your selection. To get several files in one go, use the split tool with Page ranges: each range you type becomes its own file.
