Extract Pages from a PDF
Take the pages you need out of a PDF and save them as a file of their own.

Loading the tool…
Your file is opened by this page and never uploaded. It is not sent anywhere, and the page keeps working with the network off.
Need to combine documents first? Merge PDF is this same editor and takes any number of files at once, so you can join them and drop pages in one go.
Drag a page to move it. The bin on a page drops it, and the arrows nudge it along. Everything you see here is what you download.
One page: 7. A range: 1-3. Several:
1-3, 7, 10. Backwards to reverse them: 12-9.

A long PDF often holds one page somebody actually asked for: the signed page of a
contract, the certificate in a scanned bundle, the chapter of a report, one statement
in a year of them. Open the file here, type the pages you want, 12 or
4-6, 9, or drop everything else by sight, and the download is a PDF of
just those pages.
The pages are copied, not redrawn. Their text stays selectable and searchable, their fonts and pictures are the same objects as in the original, and the new file is only as big as the pages in it. The original is never changed, so you can take out one part, then another, as many times as you need.
To take each page out as a file of its own instead of one file of several, Split into single pages saves them all at once as a ZIP.
How to use it
- Choose the PDF. It is read here and never uploaded.
- Type the pages to take, like 4-6, 9, or drop the others with the bin on each.
- Check the thumbnails: they are exactly what the new file will hold, in that order.
- Press Download for a PDF of just those pages.
Questions
How do I extract a single page?
Type its number, 7 for example, and download: the new PDF has that page and nothing else. The page count above the button says 1, so there is no doubt before you save.
Can I take pages that are not next to each other?
Yes. List them with commas, 2, 5, 11-13, and they come out in the order you typed. Type a range backwards, 13-11, to have it reversed, or drag the thumbnails into any order.
Do the extracted pages lose quality?
No. Each page is copied as it is, its text, fonts and images included, so it looks and prints exactly as it did and text can still be selected. Nothing is rasterised and nothing is recompressed.
Will links and bookmarks still work?
Links between pages you take stay working. A link to a page you left out is removed, because keeping it would also keep that page hidden in the file. The document outline, the bookmarks pane, refers to pages across the whole file, so it is left out rather than pointing at pages that are no longer there.
Is my file uploaded?
No. It is read and rebuilt in this tab by WebAssembly, and the page is served with a rule that forbids it from opening a connection anywhere. Turn the network off once the page has loaded and it works the same, which is the way to check it rather than take it on trust.
The same tool, for other jobs
Each opens Split PDF ready for something else. Everything any of them does, the others can do too.
Your data stays on your device
Everything above runs inside your browser as WebAssembly compiled from Rust. Nothing you type is uploaded, logged or stored on a server. You can load this page once, go offline, and it still works.
This page makes no requests at all, to anywhere. That is not a promise in the copy: it is a Content-Security-Policy header your browser enforces, and connect-src on it is none. Open the network tab and watch nothing happen.
