Sometimes you only need part of a PDF: one signed page from a contract, a single chapter, or a handful of pages to send on. Extracting copies the pages you want into a fresh file and leaves the rest behind. This guide shows how to pick pages and set their order without uploading anything.
TL;DR Open the free extract pages tool, list the pages you want (like
1-3, 5), and download. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Listing the pages
The page box uses a flexible syntax:
- Ranges like
1-3keep pages 1, 2 and 3. - Single pages like
5keep just page 5. - Combinations like
1-3, 5, 8-10mix them freely.
Pages come out in the order you list them, so you can reorder while you extract by typing 5, 1, 3.
Step by step: extract pages from a PDF
- Open the extract pages tool.
- Add your PDF. Its page count appears straight away.
- List the pages you want, such as
1-3, 5. - Download the new PDF with just those pages.
Your original file is never touched, so you can run it again with a different selection any time.
Extract, delete or split?
Extracting keeps the pages you name in one new file. If you would rather throw a few pages away, use delete pages. To burst a document into many separate files, use split.
Everything runs on your device, with no upload, no sign-up and no watermark.
Where to go next
- Delete pages from a PDF to remove pages instead of keeping them.
- Split a PDF to break a document into separate files.
- Merge PDF files to recombine the pages you pulled out.
