PDFDrawerExtract pages from a PDF
To extract pages, drop a PDF above and type the pages you want to keep — for example, 2, 5-7 turns a 12-page document into a new 4-page PDF containing exactly pages 2, 5, 6 and 7, in that order, at full original quality.
Page numbers start at 1. The extracted pages keep their original order in the document.
🔒 Your files never leave your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server, so the document you open is the only copy that ever exists.
How it works
- Drop the PDF into the box above.
- Type the pages to pull out — single pages and ranges, like 2, 5-7.
- Click Extract pages and download the new, smaller PDF.
About this tool
Extracting is the tidy person's split: instead of breaking a document apart, you name the pages worth keeping and receive them as one new PDF. It is the fastest way to turn a 60-page information pack into the three pages a colleague asked for, or to lift the certificate page out of a long report without disturbing anything else. The pages you name are copied in document order, so 2, 5-7 always arrives as 2, 5, 6, 7 — never shuffled.
The copy is exact. Extracted pages are transferred object-for-object from the original file, so fonts, vector drawings, images and links survive untouched and text stays selectable. The original PDF is opened read-only and remains completely unchanged on your device, and because everything happens in your browser, not even a temporary copy is uploaded anywhere.
Extract and Delete Pages are two sides of one coin: extract when the keepers are few, delete when the removals are few. If the pages you extract later need company, Merge PDF will combine them with anything else.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Extract and Split?
Both produce new PDFs from chosen pages. Extract is phrased around the pages you keep; Split also offers a one-file-per-page mode. The result quality is identical.
Can I extract pages out of order, like 9 before 2?
The new file always follows the document's own order, so your list is sorted into reading order automatically.
Does extracting lower the quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly — nothing is re-rendered, compressed or rasterized.
What happens if I list the same page twice?
Duplicates are removed; each page appears once in the extracted file.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Extraction runs in your browser; the original and the result never leave your device.
