How to extract pages from a PDF
- Upload your PDF (drag & drop or browse).
- Choose Extract Pages and type the pages you want, e.g.
1,3,5-10. - Download the result and compare it with your original before sharing.
A practical starting point
For a seven-page file, 1,3,5-7 keeps five pages. A cover counts as page 1 even when printed numbering starts later. The example below keeps report pages 1 and 3.

Frequently asked questions
What are the limits of Extract PDF Pages?
Extraction does not redact content on retained pages. Use Split PDF for separate output files. A page outside the source range cannot be extracted.
How should I check the Extract PDF Pages result?
Count the output pages and inspect the first and last retained pages. Use positions in the viewer rather than numbers printed in the footer.
