How to extract pages from a PDF

Extracting copies the pages you choose into a brand-new PDF. The file you started with stays exactly as it was.

A range ending in a dash, like 12-, takes page 12 and every page after it. You can mix single pages and ranges freely. The page count shown next to your file helps you check that the numbers you type really exist.

Save one page of a PDF as its own file

To keep just one page, type its number on its own, like 4. You get a one page PDF that is easy to attach or upload. This is handy when a long document has the single page a form really needs, such as the result page of a transcript or the first page of a passport scan.

The page stays a real PDF page. Text on it can still be selected and searched, which is not true if you take a screenshot of it instead. If you do want the page as a picture, convert the one page PDF with PDF to JPG.

Everyday uses for extracting PDF pages

Fewer pages also means a smaller file, which helps with upload limits and WhatsApp sharing.

It also protects your privacy. When an office asks for proof of address, extract only the page that shows it, rather than sending a full statement with every transaction on it.

Extract or split: which one should you use?

Extract pages gives you one new PDF with all the pages you picked. Split PDF gives you several files, one for each range. If you want pages 2, 5 and 9 together in one file, use extract. If you want pages 1-3 and pages 4-6 as two separate files, use split.

To remove a handful of pages and keep the rest, Remove pages saves you typing a long list. Pick whichever tool means typing fewer numbers.

Tips for copying pages from a PDF

The pages are copied as they are, so nothing gets blurry. Your file is processed in the browser and is not uploaded, which keeps personal documents private.

If you get a message that a page does not exist, the file has fewer pages than you typed. The message tells you the real page count, so you can fix the numbers and try again straight away.
