How to extract pages from a PDF
Extract pages builds a new PDF that contains only the pages you choose. The original document stays intact and you take away just the part you need.
It is the fast way to send one chapter of a book, the contract page that needs signing, or a single receipt from a long bank statement.
Step by step
- Upload the PDF with Choose PDF or by dragging it in.
- Select pages in the thumbnails or type them in the Pages field, for example 1, 3-5.
- Check your selection in the preview.
- Run the extraction and download the new PDF.
Extract, split or delete
All three tools work with pages, but the output is different. Extract gives you one PDF with the chosen pages. Split PDF creates several files from ranges. Delete pages returns the whole document minus what you mark. When you only need a few pages from a long document, extracting is the most direct route.
You can choose non-consecutive pages, such as 2, 5 and 9-10, and they will be gathered in the same file.
Quality and limits
Pages are copied without turning them into images, so text remains selectable and searchable. The source PDF can have up to 50 pages and be up to 50 MB.
After downloading, Keep working with this PDF lets you compress or number the extract without uploading it again.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I extract pages that are not next to each other?
- Yes. Type something like 1, 4, 7-9 or tick them one by one in the thumbnails.
- Is the original PDF changed?
- No. A new file is always created; yours stays as it was.
- How do I save every page as a separate PDF?
- Use Split PDF and leave the ranges field empty: you will get one file per page.
- Are links and text kept?
- Text stays selectable. Links pointing to pages you did not extract no longer have a target.
- Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?
- Yes, if you know the open password: expand Does your PDF have a password? and enter it to load the preview. To remove it for good, use Unlock PDF first.
