The new PDF appears here.
Extraction happens in this browser. The PDF is not uploaded, stored or logged.
Your file is never sent to a server. It is read and processed by your own browser, and the results are not stored.
How to use it
- Choose a PDF. Its page count is read from the file itself.
- Type the pages to keep, such as 3 or 5-8 or 1-3,8,10-12.
- Check the planned output line — it lists exactly which pages will be in the result.
- Press Extract and download the new PDF.
Limits worth knowing
- The output follows the order you typed. `3,1` produces page 3 then page 1; nothing is silently sorted for you, because a reordered document is a different document.
- Repeated page numbers are kept, so `4,2,4` gives three pages with page 4 twice. If you did not want a repeat, remove it from the selection.
- A page number outside the document is rejected with the count it was checked against, never clamped. `1-999999` on a four-page file is refused rather than truncated to four.
- Up to 200 pages per extraction. That is a memory ceiling, not a file-size one — the new document is assembled in your browser tab.
- Page content and order come across; document-level parts do not. Bookmarks, form field values, annotations and attachments are not carried into the result, so a fillable form becomes a flat picture of itself.
- Password-protected PDFs are refused, not bypassed.
How to describe the pages you want
A single number takes one page. A dash takes an inclusive span, so 5-8 is four pages. Commas separate items, and spaces are tolerated anywhere, which means 1-3, 8 and 1-3, 8 are the same instruction.
Pages are numbered the way your PDF reader shows them, starting at 1. Documents that print a roman-numeral front matter section are still counted by physical page, so page 1 is the first sheet in the file regardless of what is printed on it.
The planned output line under the box is the tool repeating your instruction back as a page list. If it says something different from what you meant, that is the moment to notice.
Removing pages instead of keeping them
This tool asks which pages to keep. To drop a few from the middle of a long document, type the two spans around them — for a 12-page file missing page 7, enter 1-6,8-12.
That is deliberate rather than an oversight. A “delete these pages” box invites an assumption about everything you did not mention, and an assumption about 200 pages is a document you did not mean to produce.
What comes back is a new file
The extracted pages are copied into a freshly created PDF, so the result shares no structure with the original beyond the page contents themselves. It is smaller, and it opens anywhere.
It is also re-opened by the same library before the page count is shown, so the number you see was read out of the finished file rather than counted from your request.
