Extract pages from a PDF on Windows, Mac and iPhone

Every system can pull a few pages out of a PDF by printing them to a new file, but each one has quirks. This tool does the same job the same way everywhere: you click thumbnails instead of typing a range, and the pages are copied as they are, so text stays selectable and images are not recompressed. Here is the built-in route on each system, for when you would rather not open a web page.

Extract pages from a PDF on Windows

  1. Windows has no built-in page extractor in File Explorer. Open the PDF in Edge or Chrome and press Ctrl+P.
  2. Choose Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF) as the printer, then set Pages to the ones you want, for example 3-5 or 2,7.
  3. Click Save. The new file is a fresh print of those pages, so bookmarks and form fields can be lost.

Extract pages from a PDF on Mac

  1. Open the PDF in Preview and choose File, then Print.
  2. Under Pages, pick From and To, or type the range you want.
  3. Open the PDF menu in the bottom left of the print window and choose Save as PDF. Name the file and save it.

Extract pages from a PDF on iPhone

  1. Open the PDF in Files, tap Share, then Print.
  2. Choose a page range in the print options. The preview then shows only those pages.
  3. Pinch outward on the preview to turn it into a PDF, tap Share, and choose Save to Files.

Printing is fine for one-off page ranges. Use the tool above when the pages you need are scattered, such as pages 2, 9 and 14, or when you want to pick them by what they look like. Need every page as its own file? Use Split PDF. Want to drop a few pages and keep the rest? Use Delete PDF Pages.

About this tool

Click the pages you want, press extract and download them as a new PDF. The original stays untouched. It is free, there is no sign-up, and it runs in this tab on Windows, Mac or a phone, so nothing is uploaded.

Limits and edge cases
  • Pages always come out in their original order. If you click page 9 before page 3, the new file still has page 3 first. Use the Reorder tool afterward if you need another sequence.
  • There is no page-range field and no select-all button. Every page is picked by clicking its thumbnail.
  • Thumbnails for the whole document render before you can extract, so a large file takes noticeable time and memory in the tab.
  • Encrypted or damaged files cannot be read, and the page shows an error instead.
  • Each extracted page keeps its own size and orientation. Nothing is scaled, cropped or renumbered.
  • Only one PDF can be loaded at a time. To combine pages from several files, extract from each, then use Merge.
A worked example: extract pages from a PDF, click by click

Say you open a 12-page report and click pages 9, 3 and 4, in that order. The counter reads "3 pages selected to keep", and the button reads "Extract 3 Pages". Here is what lands in the download.

  1. Page 3 of the report becomes page 1 of the new file.
  2. Page 4 becomes page 2.
  3. Page 9 becomes page 3.

The clicks were sorted by original position, so click order never matters. The other nine pages are simply not copied, and the report itself is untouched.

  • Need page 9 to come first? Open the result in Reorder PDF Pages and drag it to the front.
  • Keeping most of the document and dropping a few pages? Selecting the pages to discard in Delete PDF Pages is faster than clicking everything else here.
  • Want every chapter as its own file? That is a job for Split PDF, not repeated extractions.
Compared with tools that upload your file

iLovePDF, Smallpdf and PDF24 all offer this kind of job, and the online ones upload your file to their servers to do it. Here the work happens in this tab instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Extract and Split?+
Extract builds one new PDF from only the pages you click. Split cuts a document into several files, for example one per page or per range. Use Extract for a single custom subset.
Will the pages come out in the order I clicked them?+
No. The selection is sorted by original page number before copying, so clicking page 9 and then page 3 still gives page 3 followed by page 9. Use Reorder PDF Pages afterward if you need a different sequence.
Can I extract pages from a password-protected PDF?+
Not directly. The file must be readable for thumbnails to render, so an encrypted PDF shows an error. Remove the password with Unlock PDF first (you need the password), then extract from the unlocked copy.
Will text stay searchable and images stay sharp?+
Yes, as far as the source allows. Pages are copied as PDF objects rather than converted to pictures, so live text stays selectable and embedded images are not recompressed. A scanned page that was only an image to begin with stays an image without a text layer.
Is there a limit on the file size or number of pages?+
The code sets no cap on either. The practical limit is device memory, because the whole document is loaded and every page is rendered as a thumbnail. Very large files may be slow, especially on phones.
Does extracting change my original PDF?+
No. The original file is only read. The tool builds a separate document and downloads it as the original name plus "-extracted". To remove pages from a document instead of copying some out, Delete PDF Pages is the better fit.
