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.
Is my file uploaded to any server? No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your PDF is never sent to our servers or to any third party. All processing happens locally on your device using JavaScript. You can confirm this by opening your browser's network panel while using the tool and observing that no file data leaves your machine.
