How to save specific pages from a PDF as a new file
Quick answer
Upload your PDF, select the pages you want to keep, then download them as a new, separate file.
- 1Upload your PDF.
- 2Pick the pages you need.
- 3Choose the outcome you want.
- 4Download your new file.
Free, no sign-up, and your file is read on your own device rather than uploaded.
Extracting is for when you need a small piece of a bigger document - one chapter of a report, an appendix, or a single page a form requires - without splitting the whole file or forwarding pages you do not need to share.
You choose which pages to keep; everything else is left out of the result entirely.
Step by step
Decide the outcome
One new PDF containing your selection, or (if offered) separate files per selected page.
Extract PDF Pages
Tips
- Extracting is quicker than deleting when you want a small subset of a long document - select the few pages you need rather than the many you do not.
- If you need several separate ranges from one document as several separate files, Split PDF handles that in one pass more directly.
- The extracted file is a genuinely new, independent PDF - the original document is never changed.
Common problems
You're keeping most of the document and removing only a few pages.
Delete PDF Pages is faster in that case - select the few pages to remove instead of the many to keep.
You need several different page ranges as several different files.
Use Split PDF, which is built for producing multiple files from one document in a single pass.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I extract non-consecutive pages, like 2, 5 and 9?
- Yes - select any combination of pages you need, not just a continuous range.
- Does extracting change the original PDF?
- No - the original file is untouched. Extracting produces a new, separate PDF containing just your selection.
- What's the difference between extracting and splitting?
- Extracting keeps only the pages you choose as one new file. Splitting divides the whole document into several new files at once.
- Is my file uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything runs locally, on your own device.
- Can I extract pages and then merge them with another PDF?
- Yes - extract the pages you need first, then use the PDF merger to combine that file with others.
