Files are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Free, private, and actually unlimited.

No daily caps. No upload queue. No spinner that turns into a paywall after the third file.

Private by architecture

Your PDF's contents never leave your device. The editing tools run entirely in your browser — no upload, no server-side copy — and a Content-Security-Policy blocks any code that would try. Only account and contact actions ever reach our server, and they never carry your file.

Truly unlimited

No hourly throttling. No daily or monthly caps. No file-count limit. Edit one PDF or ten thousand — same site, same speed, no nag screen.

No signup, no watermarks

Every tool below works with or without an account or email. Output PDFs are clean — no stamps, no banners, no preview-mode quality downgrades.

About this tool

Extracting is the opposite of deleting: you tell the tool which pages to keep, and it builds a new PDF from just those. The original file is untouched. This is the right tool when you have a 60-page report and need to send a colleague pages 12-18, or when you want to share one chapter of a manual without the rest of the book.

Selection works the same as the deleter — click and shift-click to mark a range, then click Extract. The output file is downloaded immediately and named after the original with a suffix, so you can keep both side-by-side. If you need to extract multiple non-contiguous sections (pages 4-6 and 22-28), do it in two passes; each pass produces its own file.

Extraction is a copy operation, so the source PDF stays exactly as it was. That matters when you are pulling pages out of a signed or finalized document where modifying the original would be inappropriate. The extracted file is its own valid PDF, with its own bookmarks rebuilt for the page range you kept.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between extracting and deleting pages?
Extract keeps the pages you select and discards the rest. Delete does the opposite. The two are interchangeable — pick whichever framing matches a smaller selection.
Can I extract multiple page ranges at once?
Each extract produces one output file containing the pages you selected, in document order. To get two separate files for two ranges, run the tool twice.
Does the extracted PDF keep the original metadata?
Title, author, and creation date are copied over. Page-specific bookmarks and links are rewritten to point at the new page numbers in the extract.
Can I extract every other page?
Yes, but you select them manually — ctrl-click or cmd-click each odd page to add it to the selection, then Extract. There is no every-Nth keyboard shortcut yet.
Is the original file modified?
No. Extracting is non-destructive. Your original PDF is unchanged on disk; the extracted pages become a new download.
