Extract PDF Pages

1. Choose your PDF, or drop it onto the box. It opens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
2. Pick the pages. Click the page previews, or type page numbers such as 2, 5-8. Shift-click selects every page between two clicks.
3. Choose how to save them: One PDF puts all the picked pages in a single file; A PDF for each page gives you a ZIP file with one PDF per page.
4. Click Extract and download. The pages keep their text, pictures and quality, because they are copied, not turned into images.

To save a single page of a PDF, pick just that page. You get a one-page PDF named after the page, such as report-page-4.pdf.

Typing is quicker than clicking for long PDFs. Separate pages and ranges with commas or spaces; the previews update as you type.

The Odd pages and Even pages buttons pick every other page, which is handy for separating the fronts and backs of a double-sided scan.

• One PDF is for sending or keeping part of a document: a chapter, the signed pages of a contract, the pages of a statement you need to show.
• A PDF for each page is for when every page is its own document, such as a batch of scanned invoices, certificates or payslips. Each file is named after its page number.

Extracting is not the same as deleting: the pages you didn’t pick stay in your original file. If you would rather keep most of the PDF and drop a few pages, use Delete PDF pages instead.

Pages come out in page order. To put them in a different order, or to turn a sideways page upright, open Change the order or turn pages below the previews. Turning a page changes how it is shown; it doesn’t make it blurry.

• Text, pictures and quality: unchanged. Text stays selectable and searchable.
• Links and bookmarks: kept when they point to a page you extracted. Ones that pointed to pages you left out are removed, so nothing jumps to a missing page.
• Form fields and comments on the extracted pages are kept.
• The document’s title and author are copied to the new PDF. To change them, use Edit PDF metadata.
• Pages you didn’t pick: left out completely. A link or form field pointing at another page can make some extractors copy that page into the file out of sight, and some PDFs keep every page’s pictures in one shared list. This tool removes those links and keeps only the pictures your pages show.

A digitally signed PDF loses its valid signature in the extracted copy, because the signature covers the whole original file. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.
