Extract Pages from PDF Online: Save Selected Pages as New PDF
Extract specific pages from any PDF document into a single merged PDF or separate individual files (ZIP).

What this tool does and who it is for
Use this to pull selected pages out of a PDF and save them on their own. Pick pages from a grid, then choose one merged PDF or a ZIP holding each page as a separate single-page file. Good for sending someone just the signature page, not the whole packet.
Pages are copied, not moved, so your source file stays exactly as it was. In merged mode the extracted pages keep their original order. In ZIP mode each file is named page-3.pdf, page-7.pdf and so on, matching the page's position in the source.
Processing happens in the browser with no network upload of your document. You will see the output only after clicking Extract, and the download link replaces itself each time you run it with a new selection.
Official Formula / Technical Standard
Real-World Worked Scenario
Selecting pages 1, 4, and 5 from a 100-page manual creates a 3-page standalone PDF with all vector formatting intact.
When people use it
Send only the signature page
Real estate and loan packages run long. Extract the signed page and attach it to an email without exposing the financial pages around it.
Split an appendix into separate files
Choose ZIP mode to get every selected page as its own PDF, handy when an HR system wants one document per upload slot.
Pull a W-2 or 1099 page from a combined statement
Brokerages sometimes bundle several forms into one download. Extract the single page your preparer asked for, and keep the full file in your records.
Build a short excerpt for a meeting
Grab pages 12 to 15 of a long report and circulate just those, so nobody has to scroll through the rest.
Notes for US users
- Tax preparers and portals usually want each form clearly identifiable. Extracting a page keeps the original page content, so the form number and tax year printed on it stay intact.
- Courts and agencies sometimes ask for a single combined PDF and sometimes for separate files per exhibit. The two output modes cover both, but check the local rule or portal instructions before you upload.
- Extracted pages from medical or financial records still contain personal data. Store the output as carefully as you would the source, and delete working copies when you are done.
Limits and what to double-check
- •The grid shows numbered tiles, not page previews, so verify page numbers in a PDF viewer before extracting. Page 1 is the first physical page, regardless of the number printed on it.
- •The tool starts with page 1 preselected. If you only want other pages, deselect it before you extract.
- •Document-wide features like bookmarks, outlines, and tagged-PDF accessibility structure are not guaranteed to survive extraction.
Expert Best Practices & Common Pitfalls

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract pages as separate files?▼
Yes, select 'Separate Pages (ZIP)' and each page will be saved as an individual PDF inside a ZIP archive.
What is the difference between merged PDF and ZIP mode?▼
Merged PDF puts all selected pages into one new file, in page order. ZIP mode creates one tiny PDF per page and bundles them in a single archive. Choose merged for sharing an excerpt, and ZIP when each page must travel or be filed separately.
Will the extracted pages be in the order I clicked?▼
No. Selected pages are sorted by their original page number before they are written. If you need a custom order, extract first, then rearrange the result with the organize-pages tool or in your PDF viewer. Pages always come out in ascending page order, whatever order you tapped them in, so plan any reshuffling as a separate step.
Does extracting reduce the file size?▼
Usually, but not always in proportion. Fewer pages generally means a smaller file, yet shared resources like fonts and images can be copied along with each page. If size is the real problem, run the result through a PDF compressor afterward.
Can I extract pages from a scanned PDF?▼
Yes. Scanned pages are just images inside a PDF and are copied like any other page. The text will still not be searchable unless the original was already run through OCR; extraction does not add or remove a text layer.
