Extract PDF Pages

The Extract PDF Pages tool pulls hand-picked pages out of a larger PDF and writes them into a brand-new document, in the exact order you specify. Load a file, then type a page list like 1,3,5-7 into the "Pages to extract" field. The parser accepts individual numbers and ranges in any combination, preserves the order you typed — including duplicates — and shows a live preview of badges (p3, p5, p6) so you can see the new document's sequence before committing. A stats row reports the source page count and how many pages will be extracted, and the output always downloads as <name>-extracted.pdf. Because copying happens with pdf-lib entirely in the browser, nothing leaves your machine — a real advantage when the document is a contract, a scan of ID, or a confidential report. Encrypted files are caught and reported with a specific password-protection error. Where the Split tool breaks documents apart wholesale, this extract selected pages from a PDF tool is surgical: it exists for the moment you need just the signature page, the appendix, or the three pages that matter out of a hundred.

1. 1

   Click "Choose PDF" or drop the source file onto the upload area.

2. 2

   Type the page numbers into "Pages to extract", e.g. 1,3,5-7.

3. 3

   Check the preview badges — pages join the new PDF in the order shown.

4. 4

   Confirm the "Will extract" stat matches your intent.

5. 5

   Click "Extract & download" to save <name>-extracted.pdf.

• Pulling the signature page out of a 40-page contract for a quick reference copy.
• Building a smaller deck from selected slides of a large presentation.
• Assembling a reading packet from chapters scattered across a textbook scan.
• Extracting the appendix from an annual report to send separately.
• Creating a short proof document from key pages of a print layout.

• List pages in the order you want them in the new PDF — that is exactly the output order.
• Use the preview badges to proof your list before clicking extract.
• Reuse ranges for repetitive tasks, like pulling 1-4 from every monthly statement.
• Keep the source file unchanged as your master; extractions are copies.
• Watch for the out-of-bounds message when your list exceeds the page count.

• The p# badge preview is your order-of-pages safety net.
• Use ranges for big spans and commas for scattered pages in one list.
• The "Last result" stat confirms how many pages the previous run produced.
• Extract twice with different lists to compare page subsets quickly.
