    Done

    Your files are processed on this device and never sent to a server. Reload the page to clear everything from memory.

    Sending the whole 40-page policy when someone asked for the schedule on page 12 is how confidential pages leak. Extracting the pages you mean is quick: type a range, and pdf-lib inside your browser copies just those pages into a new PDF. The original is not modified and neither file is uploaded.

    Ranges accept the usual notation: 1-3, 5, 8-10. Switch to "Every page separately" to get one PDF per page as a zip, or "Every N pages" to chop a long document into equal chunks.

    How it works

    1. Drop a PDF, or tap to pick one. The page count appears above the options.
    2. Type the pages to keep, such as 2-4, 7. Or pick "Every page separately".
    3. Extract. One file downloads directly; several download as a zip.

    In your browser, not on a server

    pdf.js, the PDF renderer inside Firefox, draws page thumbnails so you can see what you are extracting. pdf-lib then builds the new PDFs from the pages you chose, copying them exactly rather than rasterising them. All of it runs in a web worker inside your tab.

    Compared with upload-based tools: Online splitters make you upload the whole document to extract two pages from it. Here the document stays on your disk and only the pages you asked for are written out.

    Verify it yourself. Load this page, turn off Wi-Fi or switch to airplane mode, and run the tool. Or open your browser's developer tools (F12, or Cmd-Option-I on a Mac), pick the Network tab, and watch it while you convert. The panel above does the same count for you.

    Questions

    How do I save just one page of a PDF?

    Type that page number in "Pages to keep" and extract. The download is a one-page PDF.

    Can I extract pages in a different order?

    Ranges keep the original order. To reorder as well, use the reorder and delete pages tool, which shows thumbnails you can move.

    Is the original file changed?

    No. A new PDF is written with copies of the chosen pages. The file on your disk is untouched.

    Is the file uploaded anywhere?

    No. There is no server in this process. The page is a static file and the work is done by code running inside your browser tab. You can load the page, turn off Wi-Fi, and it still works.
