Sometimes you only need a specific chapter from a report dozens of pages long, or just the signature page of a contract to send on its own. Forwarding the whole file exposes content nobody needs and makes for a bigger attachment. With the Extract PDF Pages tool you can pick only the pages you want and turn them into a clean new PDF.
If 'Delete Pages' is about taking pages out, this tool does the opposite — it keeps only the pages you choose. That's especially handy when there are just a few pages to keep. Enter pages as a mix of ranges and individual numbers separated by commas, like 1-3, 5, 8, and the order you type becomes the page order of the new document. Put the larger number first, as in 8-3, to add them in reverse.
Everything runs entirely inside your browser, and files are never uploaded to a server. It supports files up to 200MB, and the result is a single new PDF containing only the pages you extracted.

When It's Useful
At work — share only the key chapter
Pull just the summary and quote pages from a long proposal so decision-makers get exactly what they need, with no clutter.
Contracts — send only the signature page
Extract just the signature and seal pages instead of the full contract to reduce unnecessary exposure of information.
Students — print only what you need
Pick only the exam-range pages from thick course materials into a single file to save on printing costs.
Reorder pages
When you need to rearrange pages for a presentation, type them in the order you want — like 5, 1, 3 — to build a new PDF.
Tips
- Put the larger number first, as in 8-3, to extract in reverse order (8, 7, ..., 3).
- The result follows your input order. Type 5, 1, 3 and the pages are placed in that order.
- You can combine ranges and individual pages (for example, 1-3, 5, 8-10).
- Numbers beyond the total page count or invalid input are ignored automatically, so if the result comes out empty, double-check your input.
- If there are only a few pages you don't want, the 'Delete Pages' tool that takes them out is faster.
- If you need to split one PDF into several files, use the 'Split PDF' tool instead of extracting.
FAQ
What's the difference between extracting and splitting?
'Split PDF' divides a file into several files, while 'Extract Pages' gathers the pages you chose into a single new PDF.
What format are page inputs?
Separate them with commas, like 1-3, 5, 8. You can freely mix ranges (1-3) and individual numbers (5).
Can I extract pages in a different order?
Yes. Pages are placed into the new PDF in the order you type them, so 3, 1, 2 builds them in that order.
Can I include the same page twice?
Yes. Type 1, 1, 5 and that page is repeated in the new PDF as many times as you entered it.
Is the original quality preserved?
Yes. Pages are copied over without re-compression, so there's no loss of quality or text.
Does my original file change?
No. The original is left untouched; the extracted pages are saved as a new file for you to download.
What's the maximum file size?
Up to 200MB per file. Processing speed depends on your device's performance.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything is processed 100% in your browser and files are never sent anywhere.
