Extract Pages From a PDF Into a New File
Extraction is the polite version of sending a 200-page report: you keep the pages that matter and hand over a document that starts where the reader needs it to.
What this tool does
Produces a new PDF containing only the pages you choose, either by typing a range or by tapping thumbnails. Bookmarks that point at the kept pages travel with the extract.
How it works
Select the pages, name the output if you want a pattern, and download. A range like 1-3,5,8- is accepted, and the source file stays as it was. If you need every page as its own document, use Split instead.
- Choose the PDF, or drag it onto the page.
- Set file name pattern — the settings below explain what each one changes.
- Run the tool and download the result.
Settings that decide the result
- File name pattern — [BASENAME] is the document name, [CURRENTPAGE] the part's last page (the page it ends on), [PART] the part number and [TOTALPAGES] how many parts there are.
- Discard bookmarks
The remaining 1 controls stay on the tool page, where each one sits next to the live preview.
When to reach for it
- You are sending one section of a long document. Nobody needs the appendices to review a single clause.
- You need a subset as its own file. Bookmarks that point at the kept pages travel with the extract.
Questions we get
How do I keep only some pages?
Type the pages to keep — like 1-3,7 — or pick them on the cards, then save. Everything else is left out of the new PDF you download.
Where it fits
The tools people usually open next to Extract Pages:
- Split by text — Split when specific text changes from page to page.
- Flip — Mirror PDF pages horizontally or vertically.
- Compare PDF — See what changed between two versions of a document — page by page, side by side, with every meaningful edit named.
Every tool works on a copy, so the original file is never modified. Uploads are stored under an unguessable id and deleted automatically two hours after you last open them; nothing is listed, shared or indexed. More on the security page.
