Extract pages from a PDF
Type the pages you want to keep. The rest are left behind. Everything happens on your own machine, so a confidential document never leaves it.

How to write the range
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
5 | page 5 on its own |
1-3 | pages 1, 2 and 3 |
1-3, 7 | pages 1, 2, 3 and 7 |
10- | page 10 to the end |
-4 | the first four pages |
Pages count from 1, the way they are printed, not from 0. Order does not matter and duplicates are ignored; the output is always in document order.
A number past the end of the file is refused, not quietly clipped. If you ask for pages 1-50 of a 10-page document you have misunderstood something about the file, and being handed 10 pages without comment would hide that.
Why not just print to PDF
Printing a page range to a new PDF re-renders everything: text stops being text and becomes a picture of text in some viewers, file size balloons, and selectable content and links are lost. Extracting copies the original page objects across intact, so the result is the same pages, not a photograph of them.
Questions
+ What happens to the pages I did not list?
They are not written to the output. Your original file is never modified; nothing here writes to the file you dropped in.
+ Can I reorder pages this way?
The extractor always keeps document order and ignores duplicate page numbers. Use the <a href="/reorder-pdf-pages/">page reordering tool</a> when the order you type must be the exact order in the result.
+ Can I run it on several PDFs at once?
Yes, and the same range is applied to each. A file with fewer pages than the range asks for is reported on its own row, and the rest of the batch still runs.
+ Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is read and rewritten by your own browser. Open devtools, watch the Network tab while you run it, and nothing leaves. The page keeps working with your connection switched off, which is the part worth caring about when the document is a payslip, a contract or a medical letter.
+ Is there a size limit or a sign-up?
Neither. There is no server paying for your bandwidth, so there is nothing to meter. The practical ceiling is your own device's memory, which on a normal laptop means documents of several hundred megabytes.
