How-to guide

How to extract specific pages from a PDF

Sometimes you don't need to split an entire document — you just need pages 4 through 9 out of a 40-page report, saved on their own.

Why extraction beats screenshotting

Screenshotting pages loses selectable text and print quality. Extracting the actual pages keeps the original resolution, any embedded text, and links intact — it's a copy of the real page objects, not a picture of them.

How to extract pages

  1. Open the Split PDF tool.
  2. Drop in the source PDF and let the thumbnails load.
  3. Click to select just the pages you want to keep in the new file.
  4. Download — the selected pages come out as a single new PDF, leaving the rest of the pages behind.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract non-consecutive pages, like 2, 5, and 9?+

Yes, page selection isn't limited to a continuous range.

Does the original file get changed?+

No — the source file stays exactly as it was; extraction creates a new file from the selected pages.
