How to extract pages from a PDF into a new file

Sending a whole 80-page document when someone only needs three pages is wasteful and sometimes a privacy problem. Extracting gives you a new PDF containing only the pages you choose.

Step by step

  1. Open the Extract PDF Pages tool and choose your file.
  2. Click the pages you want to keep. Each one gets a green tick.
  3. Or type page numbers under Pages to keep, such as 2, 5-7, and click Select. Select all and Clear are there too.
  4. Click the button that says Extract N pages and download. The new file is named after the original with -extracted added.

Extract, split or delete?

  • Extract pages: one new PDF with exactly the pages you picked, in their original order.
  • Split PDF: break a document into several files, for example one per chapter.
  • Delete pages: remove the pages you don't want. It's the same result as extracting the rest.

Good to know

  • Pages keep their text, images and quality. Your original is not changed.
  • If you need the extracted pages in a different order, open the result in the Merge & Organize tool and drag them.
  • Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Are the pages kept in order?

Yes, they appear in the same order as in the original, whatever order you clicked them in.

Is there a page limit?

No set limit. Files up to 50 MB work, depending on your device.

Can I extract from several PDFs at once?

Not in this tool. Use Merge & Organize, which can combine pages from several files and export just the ones you select.
