Extract pages from a PDF
Send the section, not the whole binder. Pick the pages that matter and they become their own PDF, original untouched.
Guide
How to use it
- Drop the PDF in and find your pages on the numbered grid.
- Tap them, or type a range like 12-18 for a chapter.
- Extract, download, and attach the slim file instead of the 60-page original.
- Need a second section? Reselect and extract again, the file is still loaded.
Examples
Sections worth sending alone
Pages 12 to 18 of a manual answer the actual question. The recipient gets seven pages, not sixty, and reads them.
The March pages from a quarterly bank statement PDF for a landlord reference. The other months are nobody’s business, extraction handles that literally.
A tender’s appendix B goes to the subcontractor who needs it, extracted, renamed, sent, without the commercially sensitive body.
Method
How it works
Selected pages copy into a new PDF on your device, in document order, at identical quality, the extraction is structural, not a re-render. The source file is read-only throughout.
Redaction warning, honestly given: extraction removes pages, it does not redact content. Text hidden behind black boxes on kept pages is still in the file, true redaction needs a proper redaction tool.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the new file lose quality?
No, pages copy exactly, text stays selectable, scans stay at scan quality.
Can I extract pages in a different order?
Selections extract in ascending page order. For a custom sequence, extract twice and merge in the order you want.
Is extracting pages enough to hide the rest?
The unselected pages are simply absent from the new file, they cannot be recovered from it. What extraction does not do is redact content on the pages you keep.
Will the extracted file be smaller?
Roughly proportional to page count, though shared resources (fonts, images used throughout) mean it is not perfectly linear.
What is the biggest file this handles?
Memory-bound: multi-hundred-page documents are fine on a laptop. Colossal scan archives may want a desktop browser.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. It is parsed and rebuilt entirely in your browser.
