Extract PDF Pages

Pick the pages you want and download a new PDF with only those — nothing is uploaded.

How to use

  1. Choose a PDF file (up to 200 MB) — the tool renders a thumbnail of every page.
  2. Click the pages you want to keep. Use "Select all" and "Deselect all" to work faster on large documents.
  3. Click "Extract selected pages" — a new PDF with only the chosen pages downloads to your device.

About this tool

A report where only the executive summary matters, a textbook chapter your professor assigned, a receipt buried inside a bank statement — there are many reasons to pull specific pages out of a PDF and discard the rest. Most online tools upload the file to a server to do this. This one does it inside your browser: every page is rendered as a thumbnail you can click, and the selected pages are copied into a new document without anything leaving your device.

The extraction uses page-level copying, not image conversion. Text stays selectable, fonts stay embedded, and form fields survive. Page dimensions are preserved individually, so a mix of A4 and Letter pages produces a document whose pages simply have different sizes. The practical limit is your device's memory — the tool caps file size at 200 MB.

Pages in the output follow their original order regardless of the order you clicked them. If you need to reorder pages as well, use the Reorder PDF Pages tool after extracting.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read and processed entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js. Nothing is transmitted, stored or logged.

Does extracting pages reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are — text, images, fonts and vector graphics remain identical to the original.

Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?

No. The tool cannot open encrypted PDFs. Remove the password first, save an unprotected copy and try again.

What is the difference between Extract and Remove?

Extract keeps only the pages you select. Remove keeps everything except the pages you select. They are complementary — use whichever feels more natural for the number of pages involved.
