Extract pages from PDF

Save just the pages you need as a new PDF: type the page numbers or ranges, in the order you want them, and download. Text stays selectable and links keep working. Free, no watermark, and your PDF never leaves your browser.

No PDF yet. You can also drop a file on this box.

How to pick the pages

You typeNew PDF gets
3Page 3 only
2, 5-8Pages 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8
12-Page 12 to the last page
4, 1-3Page 4 first, then 1 to 3
Pages come out in the order you list them.

Typical uses: send one chapter or the signed page of a contract, attach only the relevant pages of a bank statement or an invoice batch, or pull an appendix out of a report. To get several separate files at once (one per range or one per page), switch the mode to Custom ranges or Every page, or use split PDF. To drop a few pages instead of picking the ones to keep, delete PDF pages is quicker.

Split modes

ModeWhat you get
Custom rangesOne PDF per range. 1-3, 4-6, 7- gives three files.
7- means page 7 to the end.
Every pageOne PDF per page, named file-page-01.pdf and so on.
Handy for scanned batches of single-page forms.
Every N pagesEqual chunks: N = 2 on a 9-page file gives 5 files.
The last file holds whatever is left.
Extract pagesOne PDF with only the pages you list, in that order.
Also the way to delete or reorder pages: 1-4, 6- drops page 5.

How it works

The page uses pdf-lib, an open-source PDF library, to copy the chosen pages into new PDFs in your browser. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and nothing is re-compressed. Fonts and images shared by many pages are copied into every part that uses them, so the parts can add up to more than the original.

Generating the PDFs yourself?

If the PDFs you merge come from web pages, invoices or HTML templates, the Shotmint API can render them straight from a URL or raw HTML in Chromium, with A4/Letter sizes, margins and backgrounds:

curl "https://shotmint.creasework.com/v1/pdf?url=https://example.com&format=A4" -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -o page.pdf

Each render is 1 credit. €5 buys 2,000 with no subscription, and credits never expire. Try it without a key on URL to PDF and HTML to PDF.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded? No. Splitting runs in JavaScript on this page, so your documents stay on your device.

How do I remove a page from a PDF? Pick "Extract pages into one PDF" and list every page except the one to drop, for example 1-4, 6- to remove page 5.

Can I reorder pages? Yes, with "Extract pages": 3, 1, 2 puts page 3 first. A reversed range like 10-1 reverses the order.

Why does it say password-protected? Encrypted PDFs can't be split without the password. Save a copy without the password in your PDF viewer, then try again.
