How to Extract Pages From a PDF
Try it free — no sign-up needed

Extract vs Split — What's the Difference?
Splitting divides a PDF into sequential sections. Extracting lets you cherry-pick non-consecutive pages — for example, pages 2, 5, and 8 from a 20-page document. Use extraction when you need specific, non-sequential pages.
Step-by-Step: Extract Pages From a PDF
- Open the Extract Pages tool.
- Upload your PDF.
- Enter the page numbers you want to extract (e.g., 1, 3, 5-8).
- Click Extract — download the new PDF containing only those pages.
Common Use Cases
- Extracting a specific contract clause from a longer agreement
- Pulling out an appendix from a report
- Saving individual forms from a packet of documents
- Sharing specific pages without revealing the full document
Is the Original File Modified?
No — extracting pages creates a new file. Your original PDF is not changed or deleted.
