About Extract Pages
Extract Pages lets you pull specific pages from a PDF into a new file — select exactly the pages you need and download the result instantly. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
Whether you need a single page from a 200-page report or a range of pages from a scanned contract, the visual page grid makes selection effortless. Click individual pages, drag to select ranges, or use the select-all toggle for bulk extraction.
The tool is built on pdf-lib and Mozilla PDF.js, running inside a Web Worker so the interface stays responsive even with large files. There are no servers, no uploads, and no account required — just open the page and start extracting.
Because processing happens entirely on your device, Extract Pages is ideal for sensitive documents like legal contracts, financial statements, medical records, or any file where privacy is non-negotiable.
