Extract PDF pages into a new document

Select the pages you want and download them as a new PDF. Perfect for pulling receipts, chapters, or signed pages out of a big document.

Extracting pages is a specialized version of splitting: pick specific pages from a source PDF and get a single new PDF containing just those pages, in the order you selected. Great for pulling one contract out of a scanned batch, one chapter out of a book, or specific receipts out of an expense report.

Visual page selector

Click pages in the thumbnail grid to include them in the output. Shift-click for ranges. The output order matches your selection order — click page 5 then page 2 and the extracted PDF will have page 5 first, then page 2. Great for reorganizing while extracting.

Extract vs. delete

This tool keeps the pages you pick. If you want the opposite — remove specific pages and keep the rest — use Delete PDF Pages instead. Both do the same thing conceptually but the UI is optimized for different mental models.

Range shorthand

Beyond visual selection, type ranges in the input field: 1-5, 8, 12-15. Comma-separated. Use even or odd keywords to select all even/odd pages (useful for cleaning up double-sided scans).

Tool FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Extract PDF Pages.

Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?+

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js loaded as WebAssembly. Open your browser's Network tab while processing and you'll see zero uploads — your PDFs never leave your device. That's why confidential contracts, tax records, and internal docs are safe to run through this tool.

Does the extracted PDF include bookmarks and annotations?+

Annotations on extracted pages are preserved. Bookmarks pointing to extracted pages are kept and remapped; bookmarks pointing elsewhere are dropped. Form fields are kept if the extracted pages contain them.

Can I process multiple PDFs at once?+

Yes — batch mode is available on the Pro plan. Free users process one file at a time. Pro unlocks unlimited concurrent PDF processing across every tool in the suite.
