Pull out the pages you need into a new file.
Getting started
- Upload your PDF, or drag it onto the box.
- Click the pages you want to keep. They are highlighted and ticked.
- Extract and download them as a new PDF.
Key concepts & modes
- A run of pages
- Click the first page, then Shift+click the last one.
- Take all but a few
- Select the pages you don’t want, then press Invert.
- Type it instead
- Put a list such as
1-3, 5, 7-9in the Pages to extract box and press Apply. - Changed your mind?
- Use Undo, or Clear to start again. Nothing is built until you press the button.
- One file each
- Turn on A separate PDF per page to get one file per page instead of one file for all of them.
- Your original
- It is never changed. You always get a new file.
Keyboard shortcuts
- E select or unselect the focused page
- I invert · C clear the selection
- ← → move between pages · Space select or unselect
- Shift + click select everything in between
- Ctrl/Cmd + Z undo
- Enter extract and download · Esc close a dialog
Tips & tricks
- Type a page list like
1-3,5,7-9instead of clicking one by one for long ranges. - Turn on A separate PDF per page to get one file per page instead of a single combined PDF.
- Select the pages you don't want, then press Invert to keep everything else in one move.
- Need only odd or even pages? Extract Even/Odd Pages is quicker for that.

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
- See every page before you choose
- 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
1
Upload the PDF you want to pull pages from.
2
Click the pages you want to keep.
3
Click "Extract Pages & Download".
4
Download your new PDF.
Entering Page Numbers
If you'd rather type than click, use the Pages to extract box: commas for single pages and hyphens for ranges. 1-3, 5, 7-9 selects pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9. Press Apply and the grid updates to match.
One File or Many
By default every page you pick goes into one new PDF. Turn on A separate PDF per page to get one file per page instead; when there is more than one file to send, they arrive together as a ZIP.
What You'll Get
The output is a brand-new PDF containing only the pages you chose, in their original order. To put them in a different order afterwards, use Reorder PDF Pages. 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: I want the extracted pages in a different order
Solution: Extraction keeps the pages in their original order. Extract them first, then open the result in Reorder PDF Pages and drag them into the order you want.
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.
