Pull exactly the pages you need from a large PDF — a chapter, a clause, a form — into one new file. Type a range, download, done.
Files are processed locally and never uploaded.
Drop your PDF into the extractor above — it never leaves your device.
Type the pages you want, e.g. “1-3, 5, 8-10”.
Download the new PDF containing exactly those pages.
Large PDFs are reference materials: manuals, reports, contracts, textbooks. But nobody needs all 300 pages — you need chapter 4, or the three appendix pages the accountant asked for, or the signed page.
Forwarding the whole file is lazy and sometimes inappropriate: it buries the relevant pages and shares content the recipient shouldn't see. Extraction gives them exactly the pages, in one clean file.
Tell the tool which pages you want using a simple pattern: single pages as numbers (“5”), ranges with a dash (“1-3”), and combinations separated by commas (“1-3, 5, 8-10”). It reads exactly like you'd describe the pages out loud.
The output PDF contains precisely those pages — nothing before, nothing after, no blank fillers. What you type is what you get, which makes it easy to double-check before downloading. If you only need a single page, just type its number alone.
The extracted pages follow the order you typed them in, so “8-10, 1-3” produces a document that starts with the old pages 8–10. That makes the tool a light-duty page rearranger too.
Use this deliberately: pull the signature page first for a quick-send contract excerpt, or reorder appendix pages to match the narrative of the email you're attaching them to.
If extraction gives you some pages as one file, splitting gives you all pages as many files. They're complementary: extract the chapter you need today, split the deck when every speaker needs their own section.
A common workflow combines both directions: extract the relevant pages from a large source, then later merge several such excerpts into a custom briefing pack with our merge tool. It beats emailing around a 50MB original every time.
Extraction is often about confidentiality — pulling the shareable pages out of a document that also contains things others shouldn't see. Doing it in your browser means the full document is never uploaded anywhere.
Still, verify the output: open the extracted PDF and confirm it contains only the pages you intended before forwarding. The tool does what you type, so a typo in the range is the main risk — a ten-second skim beats an embarrassing re-send.
Use numbers for single pages (“5”), dashes for ranges (“1-3”), and commas to combine them (“1-3, 5, 8-10”). Pages are counted from the start of the document, with the first page as page 1.
Yes — list them in the order you want: “8-10, 1-3” produces a PDF starting with the old pages 8–10. The output follows your typing order exactly.
Overlapping ranges simply include those pages once each in the order listed — you won't get duplicates. But clean, non-overlapping ranges are easier to verify at a glance.
Yes. Scanned pages extract like any other pages; the output is an image-based PDF of just those pages. Note the text won't be selectable unless the scan was OCR'd — extraction doesn't add text recognition.
