PDF Page Extractor

  • In-browser
  • No signup
  • Free limit: 50MB

Select pages and ranges from one PDF and copy them into one new extracted PDF downloaded directly.

Core processing runs in your browser and does not upload this file for the task.

Continue your workflow

  • PDF CompressorReduce file size. Extract copies selected pages into one PDF; it does not compress.
  • PDF Password ProtectorAdd a password. Extract copies pages; it does not encrypt.
  • PDF MergerCombine PDFs into one file. Extract copies pages from a single source; it does not merge files.

What this tool does

PDF Page Extractor copies chosen pages from one source into one new PDF and downloads it as {base}-extracted.pdf. It is a page-copy tool, not a ZIP splitter and not a redaction tool.

Choose this tool when…

  • You want a single focused PDF, such as a chapter or a few invoice pages.
  • You do not want a ZIP archive (use PDF Splitter for ZIP output).
  • You need a smaller working copy that still keeps the copied pages as PDF pages, not images.

Typical jobs this page is built for

  • Pull a signed last page out of a longer packet.
  • Keep only the pages a reviewer asked for.
  • Make a short attachment from a large report without rasterizing those pages.

How processing actually works

Ranges are parsed by the same rules as Split’s custom range: spaces stripped, comma-separated numbers and start-end pairs, sorted unique pages. pdf-lib loads with ignoreEncryption: true, copyPages the selected indices, and save().

Supported files, outputs, and limits

Input
One PDF, up to 50 MB. No password field.
Output
One PDF named {base}-extracted.pdf.
Presets
First page, First 3, Last 3, All pages.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Upload one PDF.
  2. Type a range or pick a quick-select preset.
  3. Confirm the selected page count in the preview.
  4. Click Extract pages.
  5. Open {base}-extracted.pdf and count the pages.

What changes in the output

Copied pages are not intentionally rasterized. Mixed sizes and rotation typically travel with the pages. Forms, links, annotations, bookmarks, attachments, and tags are not guaranteed after rewrite.

Privacy and where processing occurs

Extraction runs locally with pdf-lib. The PDF is not posted to an extraction API. Identified analytics may include byte counts and page counts, not the filename, document text, or the typed page list.

How this differs from nearby DevToolKit tools

  • PDF Splitter’s custom-range mode also copies selected pages, but it always wraps output in {base}-split.zip.
  • PDF Merger concatenates whole files from multiple uploads.

Output review checklist

  • Count pages in the download.
  • Remember output order is sorted, not typed order.
  • Open a page that had forms or links and confirm they still behave.
  • Keep the original PDF; Extract does not modify it.

Frequently asked questions

Does typing 5,1,3 keep that order?

No. Valid pages are stored in a set and sorted ascending, so the output is 1,3,5. Duplicate numbers appear once. Reverse ranges fail.

Is this redaction?

No. Unselected pages are omitted from the new file, but content on included pages is copied, not sanitized.

Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?

There is no password field. pdf-lib loads with ignoreEncryption: true, so some encrypted files still fail. Unlock an authorized copy first if the extract step cannot open the PDF.

Does Extract split the PDF into many files?

No. You always get one new PDF named {base}-extracted.pdf. Use PDF Splitter when you want a ZIP of separate files.
