Extract PDF Pages Online — Pull Specific Pages Easily (Free & Secure)
Extract selected pages into a new PDF document. Fast, simple and free.
What Is This Tool?
Extract PDF Pages pulls specific pages out of a document and saves them as a brand-new PDF, in whatever order you list them. Use it to pull a single chapter out of a book, save just the signature page of a contract, or reorder a handful of pages into a new mini-document.
Everything runs on our servers over a secure connection; your files are processed, made available for download, and then automatically deleted a short time later.
Why Extract Pages From a PDF?
Sometimes you only need a fraction of a large document — one chapter, one signature page, one exhibit. Extracting pulls exactly those pages into a brand-new file, leaving the original untouched.
Benefits of Extracting PDF Pages
- Pull only the pages you need
- Arrange extracted pages in any order
- Keeps the original document unchanged
- No desktop software needed
Who Can Use This Tool?
- Legal teams pulling exhibits from a filing
- Students saving one chapter from a textbook
- HR teams pulling a signature page from a contract
- Researchers building a document from selected pages
A Few Real-World Examples
- A legal professional can extract exhibits 1, 3, and 5 from a 200-page court filing to share with opposing counsel.
- A student can pull only the chapter they need to study from a 500-page textbook PDF.
- An HR manager can extract the signature page from a 20-page employment contract for quick reference.
- A researcher can pull cited pages from several long PDFs and combine them into one reference document.
- A real estate agent can extract just the disclosure pages from a lengthy closing packet to send to a client.
Step-by-Step Guide
Upload the PDF you want to pull pages from.
Enter the pages or ranges to extract.
Click "Extract Pages".
Download your new PDF.
Entering Page Numbers
Use commas for single pages and hyphens for ranges: 1,3,5-7 extracts pages 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 into the new PDF, in that order.
Reordering Pages
You aren't limited to the original page order — enter 10,5,3 to extract pages 10, 5, and 3, in that exact sequence, into your new document.
What You'll Get
The output is a brand-new PDF containing only the pages you listed, in the order you listed them. Your original file is never changed — extraction always reads it, never edits it.
Comparison: Extract vs. Split vs. Delete
| Tool | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Extract Pages | Creates a new PDF with only the pages you select; the original stays unchanged. | Pulling a handful of specific pages out of a large document. |
| Split PDF | Breaks a PDF into multiple separate files, usually one per page or range. | Dividing a whole document into many smaller files. |
| Delete Pages | Removes the pages you select and keeps everything else. | Cutting a few unwanted pages out of a mostly-good document. |

Best Practices
- Preview your document to confirm page numbers before extracting.
- Use the Extract tool if you want to keep the original file intact and create a new, separate document.
- If you want to remove pages permanently instead, use the Delete Pages tool instead.
- Double-check page order in the result if you extracted pages out of sequence.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The extracted pages are in the wrong order
Solution: Enter the page numbers in the exact order you want them in the new PDF — pages are added in the sequence you type them, e.g. "3,1-2" puts page 3 first.
Problem: The file won't upload
Solution: Ensure your file is under 50 MB and is a valid PDF. Try a different browser. Password-protected files may need to be unlocked first with our Unlock PDF tool.
Problem: I get an error for invalid page numbers
Solution: Verify your page numbers are within the document's total page count — you can't extract page 20 from a 15-page document.
Extract PDF Pages FAQ
Is extracting pages really free?
Yes. Extract PDF Pages is completely free, with no sign-up, watermark, or hidden limits beyond the file size shown above.
Is there a daily limit on how many PDFs I can extract pages from?
No. There's no daily limit — extract pages from as many PDFs as you need, as often as you need, for free.
Can I pull pages out in a different order than the original?
Yes — pages are added to the new PDF in the exact order you list them, so "3,1-2" produces a document with page 3 first, then pages 1 and 2.
Can I extract the same page more than once?
Yes — unlike Delete or Reorder, extraction doesn't require a strict one-to-one match, so repeating a page number is allowed.
Will my file be kept after processing?
No. Both your uploaded file and the extracted result are automatically deleted from our servers a short time after processing.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes, Extract PDF Pages works in any modern mobile or desktop browser — no app required.
Is registration required?
No. You can extract PDF pages without creating an account or providing any personal details.
