How to use it

How to use Extract PDF Pages

Good for

Common use cases

Extract pages from a PDF when you need only part of a document as its own file. You might want one page, such as the signature page of a contract or a single receipt from a bank statement. You might want the first page only, such as a cover sheet or a one-page summary. Or you might want a few pages or a range, such as one chapter of a report or the pages a colleague asked for. Type the page numbers, click Extract, and you get one new PDF that contains just those pages. Your original file is not changed. Extracting is different from splitting: split turns a PDF into several separate files, while extract gives you a single file with only the pages you picked. Pages always come out in their original document order, so typing 5, 2 gives you page 2 then page 5. Everything runs in your browser with pdf-lib, so the PDF never leaves your device. That matters for contracts, payslips, medical letters, client reports and anything else you would rather not upload to a third-party website.

Questions

Extract PDF Pages: common questions

How do I extract just one page from a PDF?

Drop in the PDF, type that page number (for example 3) in the page box and click Extract. You download a one-page PDF and the original stays as it was.

How do I extract only the first page of a PDF?

Type 1 in the page box and click Extract. The new file contains only the first page.

Can I extract certain pages that are not next to each other?

Yes. Separate pages and ranges with commas, for example 1, 3, 7-9 gives pages 1, 3, 7, 8 and 9 in one new PDF.

Can I change the order of the pages?

Not in this tool. Pages are always saved in their original document order, and duplicates are removed.

Does extracting pages change the original PDF?

No. The tool creates a brand-new PDF with only the pages you chose. Your original file is never modified.

Is there a page or file-size limit?

Files up to 100 MB are accepted, one PDF at a time. There is no fixed page-count limit; very large files depend on your device's memory.

Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?

No. Extraction runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. The source PDF and the new file never leave your device.
