How to Extract PDF Pages
- Drop your PDF onto the upload area or click to browse for it
- Enter the pages you want to keep using the page range field — you can mix ranges and individual pages:
1-3, 5, 8-10 - Click Extract Pages to generate the new PDF instantly
- Download the extracted PDF
The original PDF is not modified — extraction creates a new file containing only the pages you specified.
Page Range Syntax
| Input | Pages extracted |
|---|---|
5 |
Page 5 only |
1-10 |
Pages 1 through 10 |
1, 3, 5 |
Pages 1, 3, and 5 |
1-3, 7, 10-12 |
Pages 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12 |
Pages are extracted in the order you specify them. Duplicating a page number (e.g. 1, 1, 2) will include that page twice.
Common Uses
- Share a single chapter — extract one chapter from a long report or book
- Isolate a form — pull out the specific form pages from a multi-part document
- Remove confidential pages — extract all pages except the ones you want to omit
- Create a summary — extract the executive summary or table of contents pages
- Print specific pages — some print setups are easier with a separate single-section PDF
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this preserve the original formatting?
Yes. Pages are copied from the original PDF at full fidelity using pdf-lib, which operates on the PDF structure directly (not rasterising pages to images). Text, fonts, vectors, and images are all preserved.
Can I reorder the pages?
Yes — enter the pages in the order you want them in the output. For example, 3, 1, 2 produces a PDF where the original page 3 comes first.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no limit imposed by this tool. All processing is in-browser memory, so very large PDFs may be slow to load depending on your device.
Does this work with encrypted PDFs?
PDFs protected with a user-open password cannot be processed. PDFs with owner passwords only (restricting editing but not opening) usually work fine.
