Extract Pages from a PDF, Online

You need three pages out of a forty-four-page report. Or the invoice that sits in the middle of a bank statement. Or a chapter from a scanned book, not the rest. Copying the whole thing and deleting what you do not want is the slow way round. TotalPDF Kit does it the other way: you name the pages you want and it writes a new document with exactly those, in the order you asked for. The work happens inside your browser, so the file never leaves your computer and there is nothing to delete afterwards. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and the result carries no watermark.

How to Extract Pages from a PDF

1

Upload the PDF

Drop the file in, or click to choose it. The page count appears straight away.

2

Name the Pages

Type single pages, ranges, or both: 1-3, 7, 12-14. The line underneath tells you how many pages that adds up to.

3

Choose the Shape

One PDF with everything you picked, or one PDF per range delivered in a ZIP.

4

Download

The file lands on your device and the original stays untouched. No account, no watermark, no charge.

Ranges, Order and What Travels With the Pages

A few things worth knowing before you type anything. 1. How the range is read. Commas separate. Hyphens span. So 1-3, 7, 12-14 means eight pages. Numbers that do not exist in the document are ignored rather than treated as an error, and a backwards range like 9-5 is read as 5-9, because that is plainly what you meant. 2. Order follows your line. Type 5, 1, 9 and the new document comes out in that order, which is a quick way to reorder while you extract without opening an editor at all. 3. Two shapes of output. One PDF is the usual answer. One file per range is what you want when the ranges are separate documents that got scanned together: three invoices in one file become three PDFs, named by the pages they came from. 4. What survives. Page content, fonts, embedded images and vector artwork come across as they were, because the pages are copied rather than redrawn. Bookmarks, form fields and annotations tied to the whole document do not travel, which is the normal trade-off of building a new file. 5. Where it runs. In your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and that has a consequence beyond privacy: it works on a document you would not be allowed to send anywhere, and it works with no connection once the page has loaded.

What You Get Back

No Upload: The document is read and rewritten inside your browser. It never reaches a server.

Your Order: Pages come out in the order you typed, so extracting and reordering are one step.

Two Shapes: A single PDF, or one file per range in a ZIP when the ranges are really separate documents.

Frequently Asked Questions about Extracting PDF Pages

Ranges, order, and what happens to your file.

What is the difference between this and Split PDF?
The engine is the same. The difference is what each page asks you for. Split PDF is built around cutting one document into parts. This one is built around keeping a few pages and discarding the rest, so it tells you the page count up front, counts your selection as you type it, and offers to hand you one file per range. If you are cutting a long document into sections, use Split. If you want three pages out of forty, you are in the right place.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Reading and rewriting both happen in your browser, in the same code that runs the page you are looking at. Nothing is sent to us, so there is no retention period to explain and no server copy to delete. You can check it yourself: open your browser's network panel and extract a page, and you will see no upload.
Can I extract pages in a different order?
Yes. The order of your line is the order of the result. Typing 9, 1, 5 gives you a three-page document with page 9 first. Ranges work the same way, so 10-12, 1-2 puts the later pages at the front.
How large a PDF can it handle?
The limit is your device, not a plan. Because everything is done locally, a large file is bound by the memory your browser can use rather than by an upload cap. A few hundred pages is routine on any modern laptop or phone. If a very large scan runs out of memory, extract in two goes instead of one.
What happens to bookmarks, forms and annotations?
Page content, fonts and images come across intact, because the pages are copied rather than redrawn. Structures that belong to the whole document, such as the bookmark tree, form fields and the tags that make a PDF accessible, do not survive being moved into a new file. If those matter, keep the original. Or do the work in PDF ARENA, where the document stays open and every step can be undone.
