Extract PDF Pages

Extract, select, or reorder pages from a PDF in your browser. Enter a page range like 1-3,5 to build a new PDF in the order you specify. Private, no upload.

All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded.

Key Features

Select Pages

Keep only the pages you need using single page numbers and ranges such as 1-3,5 or 8-10.

Reorder by Input

List page numbers in a new sequence to rearrange the document as you extract it, such as 3,1,2 or 5,2,5.

Create a New PDF

Save the selected pages as a fresh PDF while leaving the original document untouched.

Clear Page Selection

Use comma-separated pages and ranges to define exactly which pages are included and verify the requested order before export.

Private & Local

Page extraction runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js and WebAssembly. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server.

How to Use

1

Add a PDF

Drag and drop or select the PDF you want to extract pages from. The original file is read locally in your browser.

2

Enter a Page Range

Type single pages and ranges, such as 1-3,5,8-10. Pages are included in the order you list them.

3

Extract and Download

Run the tool to create a new PDF containing only the selected pages, then review the output and download it.

Extract PDF Pages Example

Pages 2, 5, and 6 of a report are extracted into a shorter PDF in the requested order.

PDF
report.pdf (12 pages)

A long report where only a few pages are needed.

PDF
report-pages.pdf (pages 2,5,6)

A new PDF holds exactly the selected pages in the order specified.

How to Extract and Reorder PDF Pages

Why Extract PDF Pages

Long PDFs often contain only a few pages that need to be shared, printed, uploaded, or archived. Extracting selected pages creates a smaller document that contains only the relevant content.

How Page Selection Works

Enter individual page numbers and ranges, such as 1-3,5,8-10. The tool uses one-based page numbers, so page 1 is the first page in the PDF. The selected pages are copied into a new PDF.

Reorder Pages While Extracting

Pages are placed in the output in the order you list them. For example, 3,1,2 creates a three-page PDF beginning with source page 3, followed by pages 1 and 2. This lets you select and rearrange pages in one step.

Common Use Cases

Use Extract PDF Pages to:

  • Send only selected pages from a long report or manual.
  • Remove unwanted pages by keeping only the pages you need.
  • Create a shorter PDF for printing, submission, or client review.
  • Rearrange pages into a custom sequence.
  • Extract a single form, receipt, signature page, or appendix.

Examples

To keep pages 1 through 3 and page 7, enter 1-3,7. To create a new order from pages 4, 2, and 1, enter 4,2,1. To remove pages 4 and 5 from a 10-page document, keep 1-3,6-10.

Original File and PDF Features

The original PDF is not modified. A new PDF is generated from the selected pages. Depending on the source file and PDF structure, document-level features such as bookmarks, forms, annotations, attachments, and signatures may not transfer exactly. Rewriting a signed PDF can invalidate its digital signature.

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser using PDF.js and WebAssembly. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, so you can extract pages from private or confidential documents on your own device.

Limitations

This tool creates one new PDF from the selected pages. It does not split every page into separate files, create multiple range outputs, or provide a full thumbnail-based drag-and-drop editor unless those features are added separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Page extraction happens locally in your browser using PDF.js and WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.

What page range syntax can I use?

Use page numbers, comma-separated values, and hyphenated ranges, such as 1-3,5,8-10. The tool interprets the pages using the document's one-based page numbering.

Can I reorder pages?

Yes. List the pages in the order you want them to appear, such as 3,1,2. The output PDF follows that sequence rather than the source document's original order.

Can I repeat a page?

Yes. List a page more than once and it appears multiple times in the output, for example 2,2,5. The page selection panel shows the exact output order before you run the tool.

Does this change my original PDF?

No. The tool creates a separate PDF and leaves your original file unchanged.

Can I remove pages from a PDF?

Yes. Enter the pages you want to keep rather than the pages you want to delete. For example, to remove pages 4 and 5 from a 10-page PDF, keep 1-3,6-10.

Can I extract one page only?

Yes. Enter a single page number, such as 7, to create a new PDF containing only that page.

Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?

The PDF must be openable in the browser. This tool does not bypass passwords, encryption, or document access restrictions.

Are bookmarks, forms, annotations, and signatures preserved?

The selected page content is copied into a new PDF, but document-level features may not be preserved exactly. Rebuilding a PDF can also invalidate existing digital signatures.
