How to extract pages from a PDF online

Upload your PDF and every page appears as a thumbnail in a visual grid. Click the pages you want to keep — a single section, a range of pages, or a handful of scattered pages — and export. The download is a new PDF containing only your selection, in page order, with the rest of the document left behind.

This is the fast way to pull a chapter out of a long report, save just the signed pages of a contract, or split a single section out of a bundle without rebuilding the file. Because the pages are copied as-is, their text, images, and layout stay exactly as they were in the original.

Upload your PDF

Every page appears as a thumbnail in a visual grid, so you are choosing pages by looking at them rather than guessing at page numbers from a table of contents.

Select the pages to keep

Click any combination — one page, a continuous range, or scattered pages from across the document. They do not have to be next to each other, so pages 1, 4, and 17 come out in a single pass.

Export the new PDF

Download a new document containing only your selection, in page order, with no watermark. Your original file is untouched, so you can run it again with a different selection.

What you can do when extracting PDF pages

Pick pages from a visual grid

See every page as a thumbnail and select exactly the ones you need — no guessing at page numbers.

Export only what you keep

The new PDF contains just your selected pages, in page order, and nothing else.

Original quality preserved

Extracted pages keep their original text, images, and layout — no re-rendering or quality loss.

No signup, no watermark

Extract and download in seconds with no account and a clean, watermark-free output.

Beyond pulling pages out

Splitting a PDF, replacing one page, or duplicating a page

There is no separate split tool and no replace-page tool, because neither needs to exist — extracting pages is the operation underneath all three. Each of these is a short workflow using the tools already here, and in every case your original file is left untouched.

  • Split a PDF into two files. Extract the first part and export it, then upload the original again, select the remaining pages, and export those. Two files, one untouched original. Repeat for as many parts as you need — a 60-page report becomes six chapters in six passes.
  • Replace a single page. Remove the old page with Delete PDF Pages, then add the new one with Merge PDF. If the page sits in the middle, extract the pages before it and the pages after it separately, then merge the three pieces in order: before, new page, after.
  • Duplicate a page. Extract it as a one-page PDF, then merge that file back into the document — once for each copy you want, positioned wherever the duplicate belongs.
  • Get under an upload limit. Dropping pages cuts file size roughly in proportion, which beats compressing a long scan into illegibility. Extract what is actually needed, and run Compress PDF after if it is still too big.

One caveat for the workflows that end in a merge: bookmarks and fillable form fields are not carried across when documents are combined. If the file you are rebuilding has either, work from the original rather than from a merged copy.

Extracting and splitting PDF pages, answered

  • Upload your PDF and every page appears as a thumbnail. Click the pages you want to keep — a single page, a continuous range, or a scattered handful — and export. The download is a new PDF containing only your selection, in page order, free and with no signup or watermark. Your original file is untouched.

  • Extract twice. Select the first part of the document and export it, then upload the original again, select the remaining pages, and export that. You end up with two PDFs and an untouched original, which is exactly what splitting means. The same approach handles any number of parts — a 60-page report can become six chapters by running it six times, selecting a different range each pass. It is also the practical fix when a file is too large to attach: two halves clear a per-file size cap that the whole document never will.

  • This takes two tools, because replacing a page is really a delete followed by an insert. Use Delete PDF Pages to remove the page you no longer want, then use Merge PDF to combine the result with the replacement page. If the page sits in the middle rather than at either end, extract the pages before it and the pages after it as separate files, then merge the three pieces — before, new page, after — in that order. One thing to check first: merging does not carry bookmarks or fillable form fields across, so if the document has either, rebuild it from the original rather than from a merged copy.

  • Yes, by extracting it and merging it back in. Extract the page you want to repeat as its own one-page PDF, then merge that file into the document as many times as you need it — merging the same file twice gives you two copies of the page. Place it in the merge order wherever the duplicate belongs.

  • Any combination works. Pages do not have to be next to each other, so you can pull pages 1, 4, and 17 out of a long report in one pass without extracting three separate files and merging them.

  • Yes. Pages are exported in page-number order regardless of the order you clicked them, so the new PDF reads in sequence. If you need a different order, extract first and then reorder the pieces with Merge PDF.

  • Yes. Extraction copies the page objects as they are rather than re-rendering them, so text stays selectable and searchable, images keep their original resolution, fonts stay embedded, and the layout is identical to the source document. Nothing is flattened or re-compressed.

  • Not while it is encrypted. Open the document with its password and save an unprotected copy first, then extract from that. If you do not have the password there is no way through — that is what the protection is for.

  • Nothing. Extraction produces a new PDF and leaves your source document exactly as it was, so you can run it again with a different selection as many times as you like.

  • Usually, and roughly in proportion to how many pages you dropped — which makes extraction one of the more effective ways to get under an upload limit. Taking 5 pages out of a 50-page scanned document typically leaves you with something close to a tenth of the original size. If it is still too large, run the result through Compress PDF.

  • Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, used only to perform the extraction, and removed after your session ends — it is not stored long-term, sold, or shared. Extraction runs on our server rather than in your browser, so an internet connection is required. See the Security and File Handling pages for the full details.
