Extract Pages from PDF
Extract specific pages from a PDF using ranges like 1,3,5-8
About this tool
Extract Pages from PDF lets you save selected pages as a new PDF. Use 1,3,5-8 format to combine individual pages and consecutive ranges in one operation. The output preserves the original order of the kept pages and produces a single PDF (different from Split, which produces one file per range). Common scenarios include sharing a single chapter from a long report, extracting signed signature pages, building exam keys from a master answer doc, and pulling forms out of a packet. All processing happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib; the file never leaves your device. Maximum file size is 50 MB.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Extract Pages and Split PDF?
Extract produces ONE PDF containing your selected pages. Split produces MULTIPLE PDFs, one per group/range. Use Extract for sharing a single excerpt, Split for batch breakdown.
Does the output preserve the original page order?
Yes. Pages are extracted in the order they appear in the source PDF, not in the order you list them in the input.
What format are page ranges in?
Comma-separated single pages or ranges. 1,3,5-8 extracts pages 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 into one PDF.
Is my PDF uploaded to any server?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser using pdf-lib. The file never leaves your device.
What is the file size limit?
50 MB. The limit is set client-side and depends on browser memory.
What happens if I enter an invalid range?
The tool reports the invalid range and aborts before processing, so no partial output is produced.
When is this most useful?
Sharing a single chapter, pulling out signature pages, extracting forms from a packet, building targeted excerpts from longer documents.
