How to extract pages from a PDF

  2. Write the ranges, For example 1-3, 5, 8-10, or use the quick buttons.
  3. Press «Extract pages» to create a new PDF with the selection.
  4. Download the result. The original document remains intact on your computer.

Order, repetition and range limits

The output order follows the order in which you write the ranges. 3, 1 generates first page 3 and then page 1; 1-3 generates 1, 2 and 3. You can repeat a page if you need it twice. The numbers must be between 1 and the total number of pages of the document. Up to 300 output pages per operation are supported.

Preview and large pages

The preview shows the first few pages so you can identify the document, but the Ranges work with all pages even if they are not displayed. In documents from hundreds of pages, drawing each thumbnail would consume too much memory; that's why the preview is limited and indicates how many pages are being displayed.

What is conserved and what can change

The selected pages are copied with their content visible. Bookmarks, forms interactive elements, layers, attachments, digital signatures and actions of the original document may not conserve. This tool does not do OCR: if the PDF is a scan, the pages are still Images and text do not become selectable.

Privacy, memory and protected files

The PDF is read and reconstructed in memory with pdf-lib. It is not sent to a server or consult an external service. The limit is 25 MB and 300 pages. If he document is encrypted or password protected, an error is displayed and no attempt is made to decipher Damaged PDFs are also rejected with a clear message.

Browser Compatibility

You need a current browser with JavaScript modules, File, Blob and canvas: Recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. PDF.js renders the thumbnails and pdf-lib generates the final file, both served from the site itself. No CDN or services are used external conversion.
