About this tool
This free online tool extracts pages from a PDF — pick exactly the pages you want and download them as a new PDF, all in your browser with no upload and no watermark. Select pages visually by clicking their thumbnails, or type page numbers and ranges. Because everything runs on-device, your document stays completely private.
How to use
- Choose or drag in a PDF file.
- Click page thumbnails to select them, or type ranges like 1-3, 5.
- Click Extract to build a new PDF from the selected pages.
- Download the extracted file.
Extract vs. split
Use this tool to pull a chosen set of pages into one new PDF. If instead you want to break a PDF into many separate files — one per page or in fixed-size chunks — use the split PDF tool.
Extracting is not redacting
This is the important caveat. Pulling pages 4–9 out of a contract gives you a document containing only those pages — but if the point is that nobody should see pages 1–3, remember that anything on the pages you kept is still fully present, including text hidden under black boxes drawn in another editor. Extraction controls which pages travel, not what is legible on them.
For genuinely removing content within a page, cover it with an opaque shape and flatten the result, then open the output and confirm the text underneath can no longer be selected or searched.
Page order and what carries over
Pages appear in the output in document order regardless of the sequence you select them, so extraction is for choosing which pages, not for rearranging them — the PDF editor handles reordering. Content is copied without re-rendering, so text stays selectable, images keep their resolution, and nothing is recompressed.
Document-level structure is the exception. Bookmarks, the table of contents, and internal links pointing at pages you did not keep will no longer resolve, since their targets are gone. Expect to rebuild navigation if the source document relied on it.
Common uses
Sending one section of a long report rather than the whole thing, pulling a single signed page out of a returned contract, separating an appendix, taking the pages of a scanned bundle that concern you, and trimming a document down before merging it with another using merge PDF. The file is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read and processed entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device. It's safe for private and sensitive documents.
How do I choose which pages to extract?
Click the page thumbnails to select or deselect them, or type page numbers and ranges like '1-3, 5, 8' in the Pages box. The two stay in sync.
What order are the extracted pages in?
Pages come out in their original document order. If you need a custom order, use a PDF that's already arranged, or combine this with a merge step.
Do the thumbnails mean my file was uploaded?
No. Thumbnails are rendered locally in your browser from the file you chose. Nothing is sent anywhere.
What if thumbnails don't appear?
On some PDFs or older devices the preview may not render. You can still select pages by number in the Pages box and extract normally.
Does extracting reduce quality?
No. The selected pages are copied as-is, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
