Pull selected pages out into a new, separate document.
Or drop one anywhere on this page
What to know about Extract PDF Pages
Take the pages you actually need and save them as a new PDF. Useful for pulling a single signed page out of a long contract, or a few relevant pages out of a report, without sending the whole document anywhere.
The extracted pages are copied across untouched — same text, same images, same quality — rather than re-rendered, so the result is indistinguishable from the corresponding pages of the original.
The usual reasons are about sending less than you have: one signed page out of a contract, the three pages of a report that concern a colleague rather than the hundred that do not, a receipt out of a bundled statement. Sending less is a privacy measure in itself, and it is undermined if the whole document has to be uploaded to a service first to achieve it.
The document you started with is never modified. Both files stay on your device.

Where your file goes
Nowhere. This tool runs inside your browser, and the page is served with a policy that forbids it from sending your document anywhere. You can confirm that yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, watch the Network tab, and process a file.
Questions
What is the difference between extracting and splitting?
Extracting produces one new PDF containing the pages you chose. Splitting divides the document into several separate files. Choose extract when you want a single subset, and split when you need multiple output documents.
Does this change my original file?
No. The original PDF on your device is untouched. Extraction builds a new document and leaves the source exactly as it was.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Select any combination of pages — for example 1, 4 and 12 — and they are combined into one new PDF in page order.
How do I extract a range of pages?
Type it, for example 4-9. You can mix ranges and single pages — 1, 4-9, 15 — or click pages in the grid. Typing and clicking stay in step, so you can start with one and finish with the other.
Can I extract pages into separate files instead of one?
Not with this tool — it produces a single document containing everything you selected. Use Split PDF when you want several separate files.
Are form fields and links kept?
Yes. Form fields, annotations and links on the pages you keep are carried across. Links that pointed to pages you did not extract have nothing left to point at and are dropped.
Is there a limit on how many pages I can extract?
No fixed limit. Page previews are capped on very long documents to protect your device's memory, but every page remains listed and selectable regardless of how long the file is.
Can I extract from a password-protected PDF?
Not while it is protected. Remove the password first with Unlock PDF, using the password you already have, then extract from the unlocked copy.
