Extract pages from a PDF
Pages 3 to 5 as their own PDF, or every page as a separate file, done on your device.
- Nothing is uploaded
- Works offline after first visit
- Open source
- No watermark · limit is your device’s memory; phones hold less
Pull specific pages out of a PDF into a new file in your browser. It is free, needs no account and adds no watermark, and your files are not uploaded: everything runs in your browser on your device. The size limit is your device’s memory, and phones hold less; give the page a short while after one visit to save itself for offline use, and then it works offline.

Open the network tab. Your files never appear in it.
Add files and run the tool to see every request this tab makes.
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
- Drop a PDF, or tap to pick one. The page count appears above the options.
- Type the pages to keep, such as 2-4, 7. Or pick "Every page separately".
- 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. Give the page a short while after one visit to save itself for offline use, then turn off Wi-Fi or switch to airplane mode and run the tool again. 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. Give the page a short while after one visit to save itself for offline use; then you can turn off Wi-Fi and it still works.
