Frequently asked questions
How do I choose which pages to extract?
Click the page thumbnails to select them, or type numbers and ranges such as '1-3, 5, 8-10' in the page field. Both stay in sync.
Can I get each page as its own PDF?
Yes. Choose 'A separate PDF per page' and you get one file per selected page, delivered together as a ZIP archive.
Does the original file change?
No, your original PDF is never modified. The selected pages are copied into a new document.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No, pages are extracted entirely in your browser and your PDF never leaves your device.
Will the extracted pages lose quality?
No, pages are copied as they are — text, images and vector graphics stay exactly the same.
Does extracting change my original PDF?
No. The original file on your device is never modified — extraction builds a new document from copies of the pages you selected. If you want the original trimmed instead, use Remove PDF pages.
Can I get each page as its own file?
Yes. Choose the option to produce a separate PDF per page rather than combining them. That is the right choice when one scan contains several unrelated documents that each need filing on their own.
Will the extracted pages keep their quality?
Exactly. Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text stays selectable, fonts come across embedded, images keep their original resolution and vectors stay sharp. Nothing is compressed or rasterised along the way.
Can I extract pages in a custom order?
Not in one step — the output always follows the original document order regardless of the order you clicked. Extract the pages you want first, then use Rearrange PDF pages on the result to put them in the order you need.
Is extracting a safe way to share only part of a document?
Yes, at page level. The output contains only the pages you chose, and the unselected ones are genuinely absent rather than hidden, so nothing about them can be recovered from the file. It does not help if the sensitive content sits on a page you need to include.
Extracting pages pulls a chosen selection out of a PDF and assembles them into a new document. The pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so what you get is not a picture of the original pages but the pages themselves — same text, same embedded fonts, same image resolution, same vector artwork.
It is the tool for sending one section of something long: three pages of a contract, the summary from a report, the two pages of a bank statement an application actually asked for. Sharing the whole document when only a few pages are needed is both inconvenient and, quite often, an unnecessary disclosure.
The selection is made visually from a thumbnail grid, and the whole operation runs in your browser with nothing uploaded.
How to extract pages from a PDF
Add the PDF
Drop the file in or choose it. Each page is rendered as a thumbnail so you can find what you need by sight rather than by counting.
Select the pages you want
Click thumbnails to select them; click again to deselect. Selected pages are highlighted and counted, so you always know how large the result will be.
Choose how they're delivered
Combine the selection into a single new PDF, or produce one separate file per page — the second is what you want when the pages are unrelated documents that happened to be scanned together.
Extract and download
The output is built locally. One file downloads directly; several are packaged together. Your original PDF is unchanged.
One document or one file per page
Pages are always emitted in document order, regardless of the order you clicked them in. If you need a different order, extract first and then rearrange the result.
- Combined into one PDF
- All the selected pages go into a single document, in their original order. This is the normal choice: a section of a report, a run of statement pages, the pages of a form that need returning.
- A separate file for each page
- Each selected page becomes its own PDF. Useful when a single scan holds several unrelated documents — a batch of receipts, a stack of certificates — and each needs to be filed or sent on its own.
What the extracted pages bring with them
Everything that lives on a page comes across: text stays selectable and searchable, images keep their original resolution, fonts used by those pages are carried over so the document renders correctly on any machine, and annotations, highlights and form fields attached to a page travel with it.
Document-level structure does not. Bookmarks are not reconstructed, because an outline entry pointing to page 60 is meaningless in a five-page extract. Internal links pointing to pages that weren't extracted have no target and won't resolve — worth checking if you are extracting a section that referenced others.
File size follows content rather than page count. Extracting five image-heavy pages from a mostly-text report can produce a file that is a surprisingly large fraction of the original, because those five pages were where the bytes were.
Extracting as a privacy measure
This is one of the better reasons to use the tool. When an application asks for two pages of a statement, sending the whole statement discloses every transaction on it. Extracting the two pages means the rest was never in the file that left your hands.
The extraction is genuine — the output is built from only the selected pages, so the others are not present in the file in any form and cannot be recovered from it. That is a real difference from hiding or obscuring content, which leaves it in the document.
The caveat is that it works at page granularity. If sensitive information is on a page you need to send, extracting doesn't help; that page has to be handled some other way, and covering the text with a box in an editor does not remove it from the file.
Extract, remove or split?
Extract when you want a few pages and the rest can go. Remove PDF pages when you want almost all of the document minus a few — same idea, opposite selection, and far fewer clicks depending on which side is smaller. Split PDF when you want the whole document divided into several consecutive parts rather than a selection pulled out of it.
For reordering rather than selecting, Rearrange PDF pages moves pages around within a document, and Merge PDF is what combines extracts from different sources into one file.
