Extract pages
Keep only the pages you choose, as a new file.
Extract pages is the inverse of deleting: instead of specifying what to remove, you specify exactly which page numbers or ranges to keep, and everything else is left out of the resulting file.

How we verify Extract pages
How to confirm the extracted file contains exactly the pages you meant to keep.
Ranges describe what to keep, not what to remove
This is the opposite of Delete pages — the numbers and ranges you enter (e.g. "1-3,7") are exactly the pages that survive into the output; everything not listed is left out.
At least one page must be selected
Leaving the field empty or referencing no valid pages blocks the extraction — you need at least one valid page number or range for the tool to produce output.
Output page order follows your range order
If you list ranges out of numeric order, e.g. "7,1-3", the output file follows that same order — page 7 first, then pages 1 through 3 — not the original document order.
Before you rely on the result
- Every page number or range you entered exists in the source document.
- At least one page is included in the extraction.
- You've checked whether you need the output in a specific order, since ranges are applied in the order you list them.
- You've opened the result to confirm it contains only, and exactly, the intended pages.
Who this is for
- Anyone who needs a smaller excerpt of a larger PDF without editing the whole thing.
- Students pulling a specific chapter or section out of a textbook or reference PDF.
- Office workers extracting a single form or signature page from a longer packet.
- Anyone building a short summary document sourced from pages of a longer report.
Real-world examples
Pulling a signature page for re-signing
A freelancer needs a client to re-sign just page 12 of a 40-page contract, so they extract that single page and send only it.
Sharing one chapter with a study group
A student extracts pages 55-72 (chapter 4) of a textbook PDF to share with classmates working on that specific topic.
Building a results-only summary
A researcher extracts just the results and conclusion pages from a much longer lab report to attach to a quick internal update email.
Limitations
- At least one page must be selected.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Delete pages?
Extract pages lets you specify what to keep, while Delete pages lets you specify what to remove — for a document where you want most of the pages, deleting is usually less typing; for a small excerpt, extracting is more direct.
Does the order I list ranges in matter?
Yes — the output file follows the order you list ranges in, so "7,1-3" produces page 7 first, then pages 1-3, not the original document order.
Can I extract the same page twice?
If you reference the same page number in two different ranges, it will appear twice in the output, since each range is processed independently.
What if none of the page numbers I enter are valid?
The extraction is blocked — at least one entered page number or range needs to exist within the source document's actual page count.
