Extract PDF Pages

What this tool does

Extract PDF Pages copies only the pages you choose into a new document. Click thumbnails, select odd or even pages, or type a range such as 2-5, 9, then save one combined PDF or a separate file for every page.

Often you need just part of a document: the two pages of a lease that show the rent clause, a single payslip from an annual bundle, or the chapter a colleague asked for. Sending the whole PDF exposes more than necessary and makes the recipient hunt for the right page.

This tool shows thumbnails of every page so you can see exactly what you are taking. The selected pages are copied with pdf-lib into a fresh PDF in their original order, keeping selectable text and original image quality. You can also save each selected page as its own PDF and download them together as a ZIP. No file is uploaded.

How to use Extract PDF Pages

1. Drop a PDF onto the upload area and wait for the page count to appear.
2. Click the pages to keep. Shift-click the last page of a run to select everything in between.
3. Alternatively use All, Odd, Even or Invert, or type a range such as 1-3, 10- and press Select.
4. Under Output choose One PDF or One PDF per page, and optionally change the file name prefix.
5. Press Extract and download the file, or use Download all (ZIP) for per-page output.

Tips for better results

• An open-ended range like 12- selects page 12 through to the last page, which is quicker than counting pages.
• Per-page file names are zero-padded (page-007.pdf), so they sort correctly in any file manager.
• Selecting Even is a quick way to pull all the back sides out of a duplex scan for checking.
• The Selected pages line under the selection bar shows a compact range you can copy into an email to describe what you sent.

Common use cases

• Sending only the signed pages of a contract to the other party.
• Taking one month out of a year of combined bank statements.
• Saving each page of a scanned batch as a separate PDF for filing.
• Sharing a single chapter of a long manual or textbook PDF.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Assuming the extracted pages are redacted. Removing pages does not hide information on the pages you keep; review them before sharing.
• Expecting the pages in click order. Pages are always saved in document order; use Reorder PDF Pages afterwards to change it.
• Choosing One PDF per page for hundreds of pages when one combined file would be easier for the recipient.
