Processed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Extracting pulls a specific set of pages out of a PDF into a brand-new document and leaves the original alone. It's the tool for saving one section of a long file — the pages you actually need — without the work of deleting everything else. Type the pages you want, in any order, and download them as a fresh PDF.

How to extract pages from pdf

  1. 1. Upload the source PDF.
  2. 2. Enter the pages to keep, e.g. 1,3,5-8 — the order you type is the order they'll appear.
  3. 3. Click Extract Pages and download the new document.

When to use Extract Pages from PDF

Save just one chapter

Pull a single chapter or section out of a long manual or textbook to study or share on its own.

Build a highlights file

Collect the few pages that matter from a large report into a short summary PDF for a meeting.

Reorder while you extract

Because you control the order you list pages in, you can rearrange them in the same step — put the summary page first even if it was last.

Extract keeps only what you ask for

Unlike Remove Pages, extraction is subtractive by default: anything you don't list is left behind. That makes it the right choice when the pages you want are a small fraction of a big document. You can list ranges and individual pages together — 1,3,5-8 is perfectly valid — and repeat a page if you genuinely need it twice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract pages in a custom order?

Yes. The sequence you type is the sequence in the output, so 5,1,3 produces a file with page 5 first.

What's the difference between extract and split?

Split is best for cutting a document into pieces by range; extract is best for cherry-picking specific pages, including non-adjacent ones, into a single new file.

Does the original file change?

No. Extraction reads your PDF and writes a separate file — your source stays exactly as it was.

Can I extract a single page?

Yes — just type one page number and you'll get a one-page PDF.
