Extract PDF Pages

Extract PDF pages into a new file by typing a page range or clicking thumbnails, and the two stay in sync. Enter 1-3, 7 and those pages turn green, or click a page and the range box updates itself. Odd, Even and Invert buttons change the selection in one go, and shift-click selects a run. Then choose the output: one PDF holding all the selected pages, or each page as its own PDF inside a ZIP. Pages come out in document order, or in the order you picked them if you tick that box. It helps when you need to save PDF pages separately, such as payslips from a yearly bundle. The source PDF stays untouched and is never uploaded.

How to use

01

Add your PDF

Drop the file on the upload area. Thumbnails of every page appear in a grid, and the header shows the page count and how many pages are currently selected.

02

Select the pages

Type pages in the Pages to extract box, such as 1-3, 7, 10-, or click thumbnails. The Select all, Odd pages, Even pages, Invert and Clear buttons change the whole selection at once.

03

Choose the output and extract

Pick One PDF with all selected pages, or Each page as its own PDF (ZIP), and set the file name if you like. Click Extract to get yourfile-extracted.pdf or yourfile-extracted.zip. The original stays as it was.

Why Extract PDF Pages

Extract, split or delete: which one fits

These three tools all make new PDFs out of an existing one, and none of them change the original file. They differ in how you describe what you want.

A quick rule: if you can name the few pages you need, extract them. If you want the whole document cut into pieces, split it. If you want almost everything except a few pages, delete those pages.

Worked example: one PDF or a ZIP of pages

Say you have a 10 page file called report.pdf and type 1-3, 7 in the Pages to extract box. Pages 1, 2, 3 and 7 turn green and the button reads Extract 4 pages.

With One PDF with all selected pages chosen, you get report-extracted.pdf, a 4 page document with the pages in the order 1, 2, 3, 7. With Each page as its own PDF (ZIP) chosen, you get report-extracted.zip holding four single-page files: report-page-01.pdf, report-page-02.pdf, report-page-03.pdf and report-page-07.pdf. With Keep the order I picked ticked, each name also starts with its position, such as 1-report-page-07.pdf.

Page numbers in the file names are padded with zeros to match the length of the page count, so on a 150 page file page 7 is saved as page-007. That keeps the files in the right order when a folder is sorted by name. Each page is copied exactly as it was, so text stays searchable and images keep their original quality in both output types.

Common questions

How do I extract pages from pdf online without desktop software?
Open this page in any current browser, drop the file in, type or click the pages you want, and click Extract. There is no Acrobat, install or account involved. Phones and tablets work too, though typing a range is easier than tapping small thumbnails.
How do I extract a range of pages like 1-3 and 7 from a PDF?
Type 1-3, 7 in the Pages to extract box. The matching thumbnails turn green and the button shows the count, so you can check before extracting. Write 10- to mean page 10 to the last page.
Can I save pdf pages separately as one file per page?
Yes. Choose Each page as its own PDF (ZIP) before you click Extract. Every selected page becomes a separate file named with its page number, such as report-page-07.pdf, and all of them come in one ZIP.
Can extracted pages come out in the order I pick them?
Yes. By default pages come out in document order, so clicking page 12 first and page 3 second still puts page 3 ahead of page 12. Tick Keep the order I picked and the new file follows your clicks or the order you type, so 12, 3 puts page 12 first. Each green badge then shows its position.
How do I select only the odd or even pages of a PDF?
Click Odd pages or Even pages above the range box. The selection and the range text update together, and you can still click single thumbnails to add or remove pages before extracting.
Is it safe to extract a signature page from a confidential contract?
Yes, because the contract is read in your browser and never transmitted. Only the file you choose to download exists afterwards. The tab holds the data just long enough to build your new PDF.
What happens to the source file after an extraction?
Nothing at all. The tool reads it, copies the selected pages into a new document, and leaves the original unchanged on your device. You can run several different extractions from the same upload.
Why did links stop working on my extracted page?
Links and cross references that pointed at pages you did not select have no destination in the new file. Bookmark outlines are not carried across either, since only page content is copied. Anything contained on the page itself, such as text and images, comes through fine.
Will page rotation survive the extract?
Yes. Each copied page keeps its stored rotation, so a page that displayed upright in the source displays the same way in the output. There is no need to fix the orientation again.
