Extract Pages From a PDF
Choose the pages you need and pull them into a new document, leaving the original untouched.
Pick pages, get a new PDF of just those
This PDF page extractor saves one page or several as a new file. Click the thumbnails of the pages you want - they stay selected as you go - then click Extract Pages. The new PDF holds exact copies of those pages in their original order, and your original file is left as it was. It all happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Sending part of a confidential document
Extracting is how you send the two pages a lender asked for without the other forty. That only works if the other forty are really not in the file, and some tools leave traces: form answers from pages you did not pick, bookmarks titled after their headings. Here the new document is built only from what the picked pages use. We extracted two pages of a six-page report and searched every word and compressed stream in the result for text that appeared only on the other four: none of it was there.
What the extracted pages keep
- Kept: text, still selectable; fonts and images unchanged; web links; comments; filled-in form fields on those pages, still fillable; bookmarks that lead to the pages you took, and links between them.
- Made inert: a link to a page you left behind. It goes nowhere, and cannot pull that page into the file - something a link could do until 27 September.
- Not kept: accessibility tags; page labels; attachments; the title.
A new file starts without the rest of the structure of the one its pages came from, which is why. If you want most of a document with its tags and attachments intact, delete the pages you do not want with Delete Pages instead: it works on the original document and keeps all of that. The tests behind both lists are in what survives each PDF tool.

How to extract pages from a PDF
Frequently asked questions
How do I save just one page from a PDF?
Click that page's thumbnail so it is highlighted, then click Extract Pages. You get a new PDF containing only that page.
Can I extract multiple non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Click page 2, page 7 and page 15 and the new PDF contains those three pages. The Odd and Even buttons select every other page in one click, and All selects everything.
Does extracting pages compress the quality?
No. The extracted pages are exact copies - the same text, fonts and images at the same resolution. Nothing is re-rendered.
Do the pages I left behind stay inside the file anywhere?
No. Extraction builds a new document from the pages you picked, and the pages you left out contribute nothing to it - not their text, not their form answers, not their bookmarks. We checked by searching an extracted file for words that appeared only on the pages left behind, and found none.
Can I put the extracted pages in a different order?
Not on this page: extracted pages keep the order they had in the document, whichever order you click them in. To reorder, use Organize PDF, where you can drag pages into any order, delete the ones you do not want and download the result - or extract here first and then rearrange the smaller file.
