Extract pages from a PDF. Privately, in your browser
You rarely need the whole document. A lender wants two pages of a tax return, not all forty; a colleague needs the appendix, not the report; a court filing requires one exhibit out of a long scan. This tool builds a new PDF containing only the pages you name, using 1-based page numbers with comma-separated values and ranges. Typing 1,3-5 keeps pages 1, 3, 4, and 5. Everything runs in your browser through pdf-lib, pure JavaScript with no server involved. That is deliberate: the documents people extract pages from are disproportionately sensitive. Tax filings, medical charts, contracts, and sending them to a stranger’s server to save thirty seconds is a bad trade. Your original file is never modified; you get a fresh PDF with just the pages you asked for.
How it works
- Drop your PDF below or click to select it.
- Type the pages to keep in the Pages box, like 2,5-8,11 (page numbers start at 1).
- Download the new PDF containing only those pages.
Frequently asked questions
What page range formats are accepted?
Comma-separated page numbers and ranges, counted from 1. Examples: 3 (one page), 1,4,7 (three individual pages), 2-6 (a run of pages), or any mix like 1,3-5,9.
Does my document leave my computer?
No. Extraction is performed by pdf-lib running as JavaScript inside the page you are looking at. There is no upload step at all. Given how often the file in question is a tax return, a medical record, or a signed agreement, keeping it local is not a nice-to-have; it is the reason this tool exists.
Does it work on password-protected PDFs?
Sometimes. PDFs that restrict printing or editing may open, but files that require a password to open can fail. If that happens, unlock the PDF with its password first, then extract the pages here.
Is the original PDF changed?
Never. The tool reads your file and writes a brand-new PDF containing the requested pages; the source document on your disk is untouched. If you asked for the wrong range, just run it again with a corrected one.
