How it works

Portals often want one document out of a bundle: the passport page from a scanned set, the signed page of a contract, the summary of a long report. Click the pages you need (they are highlighted) or type them, for example 1, 4-6, and they are copied into a new PDF in document order.

The pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text stays selectable and quality is unchanged; the new file is usually much smaller than the original. Your original PDF is not modified.

Extract, split, remove or organise?

Four tools cut PDFs apart, and picking the right one saves a second pass:

ToolYou getBest when
Extract PDF pagesOne new PDF with only the pages you pickA portal wants one document out of a bundle, such as the photo page of a passport scan
Split PDFSeveral PDFs, by ranges or every N pagesEach part goes to a different place, or a scan of many documents must be separated
Remove PDF pagesThe same PDF minus the pages you pickYou know which few pages must go: blank backs, terms and conditions
Organize PDFAll pages, reordered, rotated or duplicatedThe order is wrong or pages face the wrong way

Typing page ranges

The Pages box accepts page numbers and ranges separated by commas (or semicolons); spaces are ignored and the numbers are those printed in the thumbnail grid, starting at 1.

You typePages selected (in a 12-page PDF)
3Page 3
2, 5-7Pages 2, 5, 6 and 7
9-Pages 9 to 12 (to the end)
-4Pages 1 to 4 (from the start)
5-lastPages 5 to 12; "end" works too
7-3Rejected: a range must go from low to high

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF; its pages appear as thumbnails.
  2. Click the pages to keep, or type pages and ranges and click "Select these pages".
  3. Click Extract pages and download the new PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. The file is read and processed by your browser on your device; nothing is sent to a server. The PDF engine is downloaded from this site the first time you use a tool and then runs on your device.

How is this different from Split PDF?

Extract saves one PDF with the pages you pick. Split PDF cuts a document into several files, by ranges or every N pages.

Can I change the order of the extracted pages?

Pages keep their original order. To reorder them, open the extracted PDF in Organize PDF.

Are links and form fields kept?

Links and annotations on the extracted pages are kept. Document-level extras such as the bookmark outline are not carried over.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

The tool will say so. If it is your file and you know the password, remove the protection with Unlock PDF first, then use the unlocked copy here.
