Extract PDF Pages
Pull specific pages from a PDF into a new file — works on lists and ranges (e.g. 1,3,5-7), runs in your browser.
Why use this tool
01Free in-browser PDF page extractor. Upload one PDF, type the pages you want to keep (single pages, ranges, or combinations like 1,3,5-7), and the tool writes a new PDF containing the unique selected pages in ascending page order. Original file stays unchanged. No server upload.
Open the PDF, type the pages you want — for example 1,3,5-7 — and download a new PDF containing only those pages. The original file isn't modified; the tool produces a fresh document in your browser.
Useful when you only need part of a larger PDF: pull a single chapter out of an ebook, save just the signature page of a contract for sharing, or extract Appendix A from a 300-page report.
Page ranges (5-7), individual pages (3, 8), and combinations (1,3,5-7,12) all work. Duplicate selections are ignored, and the output is written in ascending page order.
Need different functionality? PDF Split divides a PDF into multiple files at a boundary. PDF Reorder rearranges all pages. PDF to Images rasterizes pages to PNG/JPEG. PDF to Text pulls out the text layer. This tool keeps the output as a PDF with the subset of pages you chose.
How to use
02Quick checks before you copy
03Confirm the input is the format you intended.
Scan the result before using it in a document, URL, config, or message.
Copy only the output you need.
Use Cases
Need to share only the executed signature page (not the full 30-page contract)? Type the single page number and download just that page as its own PDF.
Type the page range that covers the chapter (e.g. 45-78) and get a standalone PDF for that section — easier to share, reference, or print.
Long reports often have a numerical appendix appended at the end. Extract those pages into their own file for archival or follow-up analysis.
Extract the unique pages you need first, then open that smaller output in PDF Reorder if you need a custom sequence.
Skip blank pages or unwanted templates by listing only the pages you want kept. Faster than opening the PDF in an editor and deleting page-by-page.
Tips & Tricks
- 01Selected pages are sorted
Typing 5,3,1 produces pages 1, 3, and 5 in ascending order. Use PDF Reorder afterward if you need a custom sequence.
- 02Page numbers are 1-based, like the PDF viewer shows
Match the page numbers as they appear in your PDF reader (or as printed in the document's footer). Most PDFs start counting at page 1; some skip a cover page or add roman numerals — count what the viewer displays, not the printed page numbers.
- 03Negative or out-of-range pages are ignored
If your input includes a page that doesn't exist (e.g. page 50 in a 30-page PDF), the tool skips it without erroring. Always glance at the resulting page count to confirm you got what you expected.
- 04Duplicate entries are ignored
Entering the same page more than once keeps one copy in the extracted PDF.
FAQ
04Can I extract pages without uploading the PDF anywhere?
Yes. The PDF is loaded into your browser's memory, parsed locally with the in-browser PDF library, and the extracted output is written back as a Blob you download from your own device. No upload, no server processing, no logging.
What page-selection syntax does the input accept?
Comma-separated list of single pages and ranges. Examples: 1,2,3 (three pages); 5-10 (range of six pages); 1,3,5-7,12 (combination). Whitespace is tolerated, duplicate entries are ignored, and the output is sorted in ascending page order.
Does the extracted PDF keep the original formatting and fonts?
Yes. Pages are copied verbatim — fonts, images, annotations, form fields, and embedded resources are preserved. The extracted PDF is structurally a slice of the original, not a re-rendered version.
What happens if I list a page number that's outside the document?
Out-of-range pages are silently skipped. The tool emits whatever valid pages remain. If you expected 5 pages and only got 3, you probably typed a page number larger than the PDF's actual length — count the pages in the original.
Can I extract a single page as an image instead of a PDF?
Not in this tool — the output is always a new PDF. For PNG/JPEG output, use our PDF to Images tool which rasterizes pages to image format.
Can I extract pages from a PDF with owner restrictions?
If the file opens but has owner restrictions, use PDF Password to remove print, copy, or edit restriction flags before extracting pages. PDF Password does not remove an open password required to view encrypted PDFs.
Does extracting reduce the new PDF's file size?
Usually yes — the new file only contains the pages you kept. But it inherits any embedded fonts and resources used on those pages. For aggressive size reduction, run the extracted PDF through PDF Compress.
