PDF Page Extractor

Create a new PDF that contains only the pages you list. Type page numbers and ranges such as 1-3,5,8-, and the pages are copied into one file in the order you wrote them, without re-rendering or reducing quality. It is also a quick way to delete pages: extract everything you want to keep.

Input: PDF  ·  Output: PDF.

Features and Limitations

Features

  • Ranges, single pages and open-ended ranges (8-) in one list.
  • Pages can be repeated or put in a different order, for example 3,1,2.
  • Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and quality is unchanged.
  • Precise errors for out-of-range, reversed or empty page lists.

Limitations

  • Bookmarks, form fields and metadata of the original are not carried over.
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
  • To get each range as a separate file use the PDF Splitter instead.
  • Processing happens on your device, so very large files depend on your browser's available memory.

Example

From a 12-page PDF, entering 2-4,9- produces a new PDF of 7 pages: pages 2, 3, 4 and then pages 9 to 12.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I delete pages from a PDF?

Type the pages you want to keep. For example, to remove page 2 of a 5-page PDF enter 1,3-5.

Can I repeat or reorder pages?

Yes. Pages are used exactly as typed, so 3,1,2 creates a PDF that starts with page 3. For visual reordering use the PDF Page Reorder tool.

What happens if I type a page that does not exist?

Nothing is created. The tool tells you which page is out of range and how many pages the PDF has.

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

No. The work is done by JavaScript libraries running inside your browser tab, so the file never leaves your device. Closing the tab discards everything.

Can I process a password-protected PDF?

Not directly. Browsers cannot open encrypted PDFs without the password, so the tool stops with a clear message naming the file. Remove the password first with our PDF Unlock Utility (you need to know the password and be allowed to remove it), then come back.
