Extract PDF pages

Select pages from a PDF and save them as a new document.

The interactive form is ready when JavaScript is enabled.

How to use

Choose a PDF and enter the pages to keep, for example 1,3-5, or all. Extract pages creates one new PDF with those pages, in exactly the order you typed, and names it after the original with -pages, for example report-pages.pdf. The original file is not changed.

Because the order you type is kept, the same tool can also rearrange a document: 5,1-3 puts page 5 first, followed by pages 1, 2 and 3. Listing every page in a new order, such as 3,1,2,4-10, reorders the whole document in one step. A page cannot be listed twice, and page numbers above the document's last page are rejected.

The pages are copied into a new document. Text stays selectable and images are not compressed again; the title, author and other document information are copied from the original. Bookmarks and links to other pages are lost, and a fillable form may stop working.

The PDF can be up to 80 MB; password-protected files are not supported. Everything happens in your browser, and the file is not uploaded.

Example

  • 5,1-3 → report-pages.pdfCreates a four-page PDF and preserves the entered order: page 5, then pages 1, 2 and 3.
  • 2A one-page PDF containing only page 2.
  • 1,1,2Rejected: page 1 is listed twice.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Reading, editing and creating the output happen locally on this device.

Can I use a password-protected PDF?

No. Unlock the document with an authorised application before using this tool.

How do I delete pages from a PDF?

List the pages you want to keep. To drop page 4 of a 10-page document, extract 1-3,5-10.

What is the difference from Split PDF?

Extract makes one file from the pages you list; Split makes several files, one per page or per group.

Why is the extracted file bigger than I expected?

Pages carry the fonts and images they use, and several pages often share the same ones. Extracting 2 pages out of 100 can therefore produce a file that is much more than 2% of the original size.
