What is Extract Pages?
Extract Pages is a free online tool that lets you select and extract specific pages from a PDF document to create a new, smaller PDF file. Simply upload your PDF, enter the page numbers you want to keep, and download a new document containing only those pages. This is the ideal solution when you need just a few pages from a large document, want to remove unnecessary pages, or need to share only relevant sections with others. All processing happens entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device and your privacy is fully protected. The extraction process supports flexible page selection using individual page numbers, ranges with hyphens, and combinations of both. For example, you can enter 1, 3, 5-8, 12 to extract pages 1, 3, 5 through 8, and 12 into a single new PDF. Pages are extracted in the order you specify, and all content including text, images, annotations, and formatting is perfectly preserved. The tool works with any standard PDF file regardless of how it was created. There are no file size limits beyond your browser's memory capacity, no registration required, no watermarks, and no daily usage restrictions. Whether you are pulling specific chapters from a textbook, extracting relevant pages from a contract, or creating a summary document from a longer report, this tool makes the process quick and effortless.
How to Use
- Upload your PDF file.
- Enter the page numbers to extract (e.g., 1, 3, 5-8).
- Click the 'Extract' button.

Tips & Best Practices
- Use both commas and hyphens to efficiently select pages. For example, 1-3, 7, 10-15 extracts pages 1 through 3, page 7, and pages 10 through 15.
- Check the total page count displayed after uploading to make sure your page numbers are within the valid range.
- To effectively delete pages from a PDF, extract all pages except the ones you want to remove.
- Combine extracted pages from multiple PDFs using the Merge PDF tool to create custom compilations.
- For large documents, note down the exact pages you need before starting extraction to avoid multiple attempts.
