Extract specific pages from your PDF as a new file
1, 3, 10-15 extracts page one, page three, and pages ten through fifteen. Everything you do not list is left out of the new file.10, 2, 5 produces a file with pages 2, 5, and 10 in that order. To control the sequence yourself, use Organize PDF after extracting.You rarely need an entire document. You need the invoice on page fourteen, the chapter that runs from forty to sixty-two, or the three signed pages buried in a hundred-page contract. Extraction pulls exactly those pages into a new PDF and leaves everything else behind. It is free, instant, and does not touch your original file.
Focus. A recipient who opens a four-page extract reads it. The same person handed a four-hundred-page manual and told the relevant part is "somewhere in section nine" often does not. Sending only what matters is a courtesy that noticeably improves response rates.
Size. Extracting a handful of pages from a large scanned document produces a file a fraction of the original size — frequently the simplest way to get an attachment under an email limit.
Confidentiality. Sometimes the safest approach is not to remove the sensitive pages but to extract only the ones you are willing to share. Nothing else can be recovered from a file that never contained it.
Extract keeps only the pages you name and returns one new file. Best when you want a small piece of a large document.
Delete Pages keeps everything except the pages you name, also returning one file. Best when the document is nearly right and a few pages need removing.
Split PDF divides the document into several output files at once. Best when every section needs to exist independently.
Extract and delete are mirror images, so choose the one that means typing fewer numbers. Wanting five pages out of three hundred is clearly an extraction; wanting to lose five out of three hundred is a deletion.
Accountants and bookkeepers pull a single invoice out of a combined monthly statement to send to one client. Students and researchers extract one chapter or one paper from a bound scan for reading and annotation. Legal and HR teams isolate the signature pages of a long agreement for filing. Estate agents and surveyors extract the relevant plan or certificate from a large property pack. Anyone completing a form pulls out just the pages that need filling in.
Upload your PDF by dragging it onto the box or clicking to browse. Enter the pages you want, using commas for individual pages and hyphens for ranges — 2, 7, 20-25 is a valid entry. Confirm the numbers against your document, then process and your new PDF downloads immediately.
Because the original is never modified, extraction is entirely non-destructive. If you got the range wrong, upload the same file again and enter different numbers. Nothing is at risk.
Extracted pages appear in ascending numerical order regardless of the sequence you typed them in. Entering 15, 3, 8 produces a document with pages 3, 8, and 15 in that order rather than the order you listed. This is almost always what people want, since the pages then read in their original sequence. If you specifically need a different arrangement, run the extracted file through Organize PDF, where you can drag pages into any order you like.
Pages are copied rather than rebuilt. Embedded fonts stay embedded, so text renders identically and remains fully selectable, searchable, and copyable. Vector graphics stay sharp at any zoom level. Photographs and scans keep the exact resolution they had in the source document. The extracted pages are indistinguishable from the originals.
Your document is processed in memory and discarded the moment your download completes. Nothing is written to disk, nothing is logged, and no copy is kept. The tool runs in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS with nothing to install and no account required.
To combine several extracts into one document, use Merge PDF. To reorder the result, try Organize PDF. Compress PDF reduces the file size further, and Protect PDF adds a password before you share it.
