How to extract pages from a PDF
- Select Choose file or drop a PDF on the box. A grid of page thumbnails appears.
- Click each page you want to keep. A tick shows it is selected. You can also type ranges such as
1-3, 5, 8-into the Pages to extract box. - Use Select all, Clear or Invert to change the selection quickly.
- Select Extract N pages, then Download.
What you get
A new PDF that contains only the chosen pages, in page order. Page size, rotation and text quality are unchanged, and text stays selectable because pages are copied and not turned into pictures. The result opens in any PDF reader.
Using the keyboard
Every thumbnail is a real control. Press Tab to enter the grid, use the arrow keys to move from page to page, and press Space to select or unselect the page you are on. A screen reader announces each page as a checkbox with its state, so the tool works without a mouse.
Good uses
Pulling one chapter from a textbook, sending a single signed page, saving the pages of a bank statement you need for an application, or sharing just the slides that matter from a long presentation.
Tips
- Want several files, such as one per chapter? Use Split PDF with page ranges.
- Easier to name the pages to throw away? Use Delete PDF pages, which works the same way in reverse.
- Combine extracted pieces from different files with Merge PDF.
- If a page is sideways, fix it afterwards with Rotate PDF.
