Extract pages from a PDF
Pull just the pages you need into a fresh PDF — a chapter, an exhibit, the three pages your accountant asked for. Click pages in the order you want them (the new file follows your click order), or type a range like 12-18.
Extract is the mirror image of delete: delete says which pages go, extract says which pages stay. For grabbing a small slice of a big document, extract is faster — and because the click order matters, it doubles as a quick way to build a custom page sequence.

How it works
- Drop your PDF above.
- Click the pages you want, in the order you want them — each gets a green check and a position.
- Or type a range like 2-5, 9 (order in the box = order in the output).
- Click “Extract pages” and download the new PDF.
Order is a feature
Most extract tools return pages in document order no matter what. Here, 9, 2-5 genuinely produces page 9 first, then 2 through 5 — useful for putting a summary page in front of its appendix, or assembling a reading packet from scattered pages. As you click, each selected page shows its position in the output, so the order is always visible before you commit.
Extracted pages carry their content untouched — scans keep their resolution, text stays selectable. Resources shared with unextracted pages (fonts, images) come along only if your pages use them, so a 3-page extract of a 300-page manual is a genuinely small file.
Good to know
- Extracting one page for an upload portal? The single-page preset gets you there in two clicks.
- Need every page as its own file? That’s a split, not an extract.
Frequently asked questions
Does extracting remove the pages from my original?
No — the original file is never modified. Extract copies the selected pages into a new download; if you also want a version without them, run the delete tool on the original afterwards.
Can I extract from a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned pages are just images inside pages, and they copy across at full quality. Extraction doesn’t need (or attempt) any text recognition.
Why is my extracted file almost as big as the original?
Usually because the document embeds a large shared resource — commonly full fonts or a repeated background image — that your extracted pages reference. The extract only carries what your pages use, but if page 1 uses the 8 MB font, the 8 MB font comes along.
