How to extract pages from a PDF and save them as a new PDF

Published

Open Extract PDF pages

Open Extract PDF pages, click the pages you want to keep so each shows a check, and press Download PDF. You get one new PDF with only those pages, in the order they had in the original.

It suits jobs like sending one page of a bank statement, the two pages of a contract that need a signature, or a single chapter from a long report.

Steps

  1. Open Extract PDF pages and drop your PDF onto the box, or click to choose it. Every page appears as a preview.
  2. Click each page you want in the new file. A check marks it; click again to drop it.
  3. Shift-click to pick a run of pages, or use All, Odd or Even to pick in one tap.
  4. Or type the pages under Or type page numbers, such as 1, 5, 9-11. Typing and clicking stay in step.
  5. Check the count in the bar under the pages, for example "40 pages to 3 pages".
  6. Press Download PDF. Your original file is not changed.

Typing page numbers

You type You get
4 Page 4 only
2-6 Pages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
1, 5, 9-11 Pages 1, 5, 9, 10 and 11
12, 3 Pages 3 and 12, in that order

The new PDF always keeps the original page order, whatever order you click or type. If you need them rearranged, extract first and then drag them into place with Organize PDF pages.

If the box shows "Use page numbers and ranges, like 2, 4-6", something in it is not a page number, such as a letter. A number past the last page gets its own note, such as "This PDF has 12 pages."

Extract, split or delete

  • Extract makes one PDF from the pages you pick. Use it when you know which pages you want.
  • Split breaks the whole file into several PDFs, such as one per page. Use Split PDF when you want every page as its own file.
  • Delete keeps everything except the pages you pick. When you want 38 pages out of 40, Delete PDF pages takes fewer clicks.

What the new file keeps

Pages are copied without being redrawn or compressed. Text stays selectable, images keep their resolution and drawings stay sharp. The file size depends on the pages you kept: three text pages from a scanned 40-page file will be a small fraction of the original.

Password-protected PDFs

If the PDF needs a password to open, enter it when asked. It is checked on your device. The extracted PDF has no password, which is often what you want when sending one page of a locked statement to someone. If it should stay locked, add a password again with Protect PDF.

Questions

Can I extract pages that are not next to each other?

Yes. Click them wherever they are, or type them separated by commas. They all go into one new PDF.

Can I save each page as a separate file?

This tool makes one PDF from your selection. For one file per page, use Split PDF and choose Each page.

Can I extract a page as an image instead?

Yes, with PDF to JPG, which saves pages as JPG or PNG pictures.

Is the full PDF uploaded when I extract a few pages?

No. Pages are copied inside your browser, and the file never leaves your device.
