Question 1

Is this Extract PDF Pages tool free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's free, with no sign-up and no account. The size and page limits listed below apply to every extraction.

Question 2

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Your file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Question 3

What are the limits?

Accepted Answer

The PDF can be up to 50 MB and 1,000 pages. These are practical processing limits for working in your browser, so a very large PDF can still be slow or fail on some devices.

Question 4

How do I choose which pages to extract?

Accepted Answer

Type page numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 2, 5-7, 10. A range ending in a hyphen, like 8-, runs to the last page. The result is one new PDF containing just those pages. If you would rather end up with several separate PDFs, use Split PDF.

Question 5

In what order do the pages appear, and what if I list a page twice?

Accepted Answer

Extracted pages always appear in the same order as in the original PDF, whatever order you type them in, and a page you list more than once is included once. The page tells you when either happens. If your list covers every page, you are warned that the result will be the same as the original.

Question 6

What does Extract PDF Pages not carry over?

Accepted Answer

Extract PDF Pages copies pages. Bookmarks, document properties such as title and author, page labels, and named destinations are not carried over. Fillable form fields may stop being fillable, and links that jump to another page inside a document may stop working. Web links are kept. Page sizes are preserved. Before you can download, the result is checked: it must have exactly the pages you selected, and each page is compared with the original page it should be. If anything doesn't match, nothing is offered for download.

Question 7

Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?

Accepted Answer

Not directly. A PDF that needs a password to open can't be read here, and some PDFs have security settings this tool can't process even when they open without one. You'll see a message explaining which applies.
