How do I extract pages from a PDF?

Drop your PDF into the tool, then enter the pages you want in the range field, for example '1-3, 5, 8' to get pages 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. Click Extract to download the new PDF.

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Separate individual pages and ranges with commas. For example '1, 3-5, 10' extracts pages 1, 3, 4, 5, and 10.

Is the extracted PDF the same quality as the original?

Yes. Pages are copied directly from the source PDF without re-encoding, so there is no quality loss.

Is this tool free to use?

How it works

Your PDF is parsed by pdf-lib in the browser. The range expression you type (for example '1-3, 5, 8') is converted into a list of zero-based indices, which is passed to copyPages() on the source document. The returned page references are appended in order to a brand new pdf-lib document and saved as a Blob you can download immediately.

Processing runs in your browser

All processing happens inside your browser tab. pdf-lib handles everything in memory, with no network requests. You can verify this yourselfin your browser's DevTools Network tab.
