PDFConvertersOnline.comHow to extract pages from a PDF
- Open the PDF. Every page is shown as a small preview you can click.
- Click the pages you want, or type them in the field, for example 1, 4, 9-12.
- Press Extract pages and download the new, shorter PDF.
Take out just the pages that matter
Often you need one small part of a long document: the signature page of a contract, the two pages of a report that mention your project, or last month's page from a phone bill. Sending the entire file is clumsy and may share more than you intended. This tool builds a fresh PDF that contains only the pages you choose and leaves the original file untouched.
Three ways to choose pages
- Click the previews. A selected page gets a blue frame. Click it again to deselect it.
- Shift-click for a run. Click the first page, hold Shift and click the last one to select everything in between. This is the fastest method for long documents on a computer.
- Type the numbers. The Pages to extract field accepts single pages and ranges, such as 2, 5, 10-14. Writing 20- selects page 20 through the end.
The field and the previews stay in sync. Click a page and its number appears in the field; type a range and the matching previews light up. Select all and Select none buttons help when you want to keep almost everything or start from scratch.
One new PDF, or one file per page
By default the selected pages are saved together as a single PDF named after your file with -extracted added. If you tick Save each selected page as a separate PDF, every page becomes its own file instead, and you can download them individually or together in a ZIP archive. That is useful for uploading receipts one by one to an expense system, or for giving each signer only their own page.
Pages keep their original order
Extracted pages always appear in the same order as in the source document, no matter in which order you clicked them. If you need a different sequence, open the result in Organize PDF and drag the pages around. Want to cut the whole file into several parts at once instead of taking one piece? Split PDF does that with ranges or a fixed page count.

Quality and privacy
The pages are copied, not printed or re-scanned, so the output looks exactly like the original: text can still be selected and searched, and images keep full resolution. Because nothing is sent over the network, it is safe to use with tax forms, IDs and HR documents. The work happens in your browser's memory and the result is saved straight to your downloads.
Frequently asked questions
Does extracting pages change my original PDF?
No. The source file is only read. The selected pages are written to a new file, and the original stays as it was on your device.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. Click any pages in any combination, or type a list such as 1, 3, 8-10. They are saved in document order.
How do I save every page as its own PDF?
Select the pages, tick Save each selected page as a separate PDF, then press Extract. You get a list of files and a Download all (ZIP) button. To split the whole document into single pages, you can also use Split PDF with the Every page mode.
Why is the extracted PDF almost as large as the original?
Pages in a PDF often share fonts and images. If the pages you keep use a large embedded font or a big background image, that data has to come along, even for a few pages.
Can I extract pages from a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned pages are images inside the PDF, and they are copied like any other page.
