# Extract Pages from a PDF

Choose the pages you need, by tapping their previews or typing page numbers, and get them as a new PDF. The original stays untouched and never leaves your device.

## How to use it

1. Choose the PDF.
2. Tap the pages you want, or type them, for example 1, 3, 5-8.
3. Press Extract pages.
4. Download the new PDF, or send it with a link or by email.

## Pick pages by sight or by number

After you open a PDF, every page appears as a small preview. Tap a page to add it and tap again to remove it; the page box above updates as you go. If you already know the numbers, type them instead: commas separate pages and a dash makes a range, so `2, 5-7, 12` picks five pages.

Pages come out in the order you type them. That means `5, 1-4` moves page 5 to the front of the new file, which is a quick way to put a summary page first.

## Typical uses

- Sending just the signed pages of a long contract.
- Taking one chapter or the appendix out of a report.
- Keeping only the pages a portal asks for, such as the photo page of a document scan.
- Making a short handout from lecture slides.

If you would rather have each chosen range in its own file, use [Split PDF](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/tools/split-pdf). If it is easier to say which pages to drop, use [Delete pages](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/tools/delete-pages).

## Same quality, no upload

Extracted pages are copied from the original, not re-drawn, so text stays sharp and searchable and the new file is usually small. Everything happens in your browser: the PDF is not uploaded and there is no watermark on the result.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does extracting pages change my original PDF?

No. You get a new PDF with the chosen pages; the original file on your device is not modified.

### Can I change the order of the extracted pages?

Yes. Type the pages in the order you want them, for example 4, 1-3. For drag-and-drop reordering use Organize PDF.

### Can I extract pages from several PDFs?

Extract from each PDF in turn, then combine the results with Merge PDF.

### Is it private?

Yes. The PDF is processed on your device and never uploaded.
