Extract Pages from PDF — Save Specific Pages as New PDF

Pull Any Pages Out of Any PDF

Need just pages 5-12 from a 200-page PDF? Or pages 1, 7, and 23? MyPDF's Extract Pages tool lets you pull specific pages into a new, clean PDF.

How to Extract Pages

Step 1: Upload Your PDF

Open the Extract Pages tool and upload your document.

Step 2: Select Pages

Choose which pages to extract:

• Individual pages — click thumbnails or type "1, 5, 12"


• Page ranges — type "5-12" to extract pages 5 through 12


• Mixed selection — combine both: "1, 3, 7-15, 22"


• Every Nth page — extract every 2nd, 3rd, or Nth page

Step 3: Extract and Download

Click "Extract" and download a new PDF containing only your selected pages.

Common Use Cases

• Extract a chapter — pull one chapter from a textbook
• Share specific pages — send only the relevant pages to a colleague

Tips

1. Check page orientation — some PDFs have mixed portrait/landscape pages; extracted pages preserve their original orientation
2. Extract before editing — extract the pages you need, then edit the smaller file (faster and simpler)
3. Combine extraction and merge — extract pages from multiple PDFs, then merge them into one new document
4. Preserve quality — extraction doesn't re-encode anything; quality is identical to the original

Frequently Asked Questions

Does extraction reduce quality?

No — extracted pages are byte-for-byte identical to the originals. No re-encoding occurs.

Can I extract from a protected PDF?

If the PDF has editing restrictions, you'll need to unlock it first. If it only has a view password, enter it when uploading.

Can I reorder extracted pages?

Yes — use Reorder PDF on the extracted file to arrange pages in any order.

Is there a limit on PDF size?

Files up to 50MB. For larger files, use Adobe Acrobat Pro on desktop.
