Extract pages from a PDF

Keep only the pages you need and save them as a brand-new PDF.

Extracting pages is the opposite of deleting them: you choose the pages you want to keep, and everything else is left behind. It's perfect for pulling a single section, form or receipt out of a larger document.

Select pages by clicking thumbnails or by typing page numbers, then download them as a new PDF. The work happens in your browser, so your file stays private.

How to extract pdf pages

  1. 1

    Upload your PDF

    Drop the PDF into the box or click to browse for it.

  2. 2

    Pick the pages to keep

    Click the thumbnails you want, or enter ranges such as 1-3, 7, 10.

  3. 3

    Extract and download

    Download a new PDF containing only your selected pages.

Extracting keeps what you choose

Extraction and deletion arrive at the same place from opposite directions. Deleting means listing what you do not want and keeping the rest; extracting means listing what you do want and dropping the rest. When you need three pages out of two hundred, extracting is the one that saves your afternoon.

Choose pages by clicking their thumbnails or by typing ranges such as 1-3, 7, 10. The pages you pick are copied into a new PDF exactly as they were, with text still selectable and images at full resolution.

Order, quality and privacy

Extracted pages appear in their original document order regardless of the order you selected them in. If you need a different sequence, run the extracted file through the Reorder PDF Pages tool afterwards.

The extraction runs entirely inside your browser. That is worth knowing when the whole point of the exercise is that the other pages are confidential: the pages you did not select are never sent anywhere, because none of the file ever is.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between extracting and splitting?

Extracting builds one new PDF from the pages you select. Splitting divides a document into several files by range.

Can I reorder the extracted pages?

The extracted pages keep their original order. To rearrange them, use the Reorder PDF Pages tool afterward.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. Extraction runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.

Is there a limit on how many pages I can extract?

No. Select as many or as few pages as you like, with no limits and no sign-up.
