What to expect

  • Pages are copied at the document level, so fonts, images and vectors survive untouched.
  • The order you type is the order you get — "3,1" really does put page 3 first.
  • Your original file is never modified.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write the page selection?

Use commas and hyphens: "1-3, 7, 12-" takes pages 1 to 3, page 7, and everything from 12 to the end. Typing "all" takes the whole document.

Can I reorder pages while extracting?

Yes. The order is preserved exactly as typed, so "5,1,3" produces a three-page PDF in that order. You can also repeat a page number to duplicate that page.

What is the difference between this and Split PDF?

Extract produces one new document from the pages you choose. Split produces several documents at once — one per range, per N pages, or per page.

Does extracting lose quality?

No. Page objects are copied wholesale rather than re-rendered, so the extracted pages are exactly as good as the originals.

Are my pages uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser on your own processor. There is no server behind this page that could receive a document.

Take the pages you need out of a PDF

Extracting is the right operation when you want a smaller document containing specific pages: the three pages of a contract that actually need signing, the appendix from a hundred-page report, or a single invoice from a batch scan.

The result is a genuine PDF built from copied page objects — not a re-render, not a set of images. Text stays selectable, fonts stay embedded, and the file is as searchable as the one you started with.

Selection syntax

The range box accepts what you would write by hand. 1-3 is an inclusive span. 7 is a single page. 12- runs from page 12 to the end, and -4 from the start to page 4. all takes everything. Combine them with commas.

Order is significant. 5,1,3 gives you a document whose first page is page 5 of the original — which makes this a reordering tool as well as an extraction one. Repeating a number duplicates that page.

Nothing is uploaded

Most page extractors are a web form in front of a server: your document is transmitted, processed somewhere you cannot see, and held until a retention timer expires. That is a poor trade for a document you were extracting precisely because parts of it were sensitive.

This tool is a program that runs inside the page you are looking at, using your own processor. The document is read into your browser's memory and never sent anywhere.
