How to extract pages from a PDF
Drop your PDF onto the page and it reports how many pages the file has. Type the pages you want — single pages (5), ranges (1-3), or a mix (1-3, 5, 8-10) — then press Extract Pages. The tool copies exactly those pages, in the order you listed them, into a brand-new PDF. Pull one contract page out of a 40-page scan, or grab just the boarding passes from a trip itinerary.
Does splitting change the pages?
No. Pages are copied without recompression, so text stays selectable, images keep their quality, and layouts are identical to the original. The new file contains only the pages you asked for — nothing else is altered or left behind in some cloud queue.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
Never. Splitting runs entirely in your browser with the pdf-lib library. This is the safe way to handle tax documents, medical records, and legal scans — the file is processed on your device and only the pages you extract are saved, by you, to your own downloads.
Why would I split a PDF instead of deleting pages?
Desktop PDF editors that delete pages usually rewrite the whole file and often require an account. Splitting is the lighter operation: you name the pages you want and get a clean new file, while the original stays untouched on your device. If you later need the pages back together in a different order, our Merge PDF tool reassembles them.
