SplitPDF / Extract pages
Extract pages from PDF
Need page 4 of the lease, or just the signed pages of a contract? Tap the pages you want in the preview and save them as one new PDF. The rest of the document stays untouched on your device.
Loading the page picker…
Picking pages quickly
- Tap a preview to select it; tap again to deselect.
- Type into the box for long documents: 1, 3-5, 20-end.
- Odd / Even selects every other page: handy for pulling the fronts out of a duplex scan.
- Invert flips the selection, so "all except these" takes two taps.
The pages are saved in their original order. To reorder as well, type a range such as 9-5 in Custom ranges, which saves pages backwards.
Extract or remove?
They're two sides of the same cut. Extract when you want a few pages out of many; remove pages when you want to keep most of the document and drop a few. For several separate files at once, use custom ranges.
Questions about extracting pages
How do I extract one page from a PDF?
Open the PDF, tap that single page so it shows a tick, and press Split PDF. You get a one-page PDF named after the page number.
Can I extract pages that are not next to each other?
Yes. Tap any mix of pages, or type them, for example 2, 5-7, 12. They are saved together in page order in one new PDF.
Can I extract multiple pages from a PDF at once?
Yes. Select as many pages as you like. Save them together as one PDF, or tick "Save each selected page as its own file" to get one PDF per page in a ZIP.
Why can't I extract pages from a PDF?
Usually because the file is encrypted or permission-locked, which stops many tools. SplitPDF asks for the password if one is needed and, for locked files, offers to rebuild the pages as images. A damaged file may also refuse to open; pdf.js can often still read it.
Is there a free PDF extractor without sign-up?
This one: no account, no watermark, no page limit and no upload. Mac Preview and the Ctrl+P "Save as PDF" trick are free too, but handle one selection at a time.
Is the original PDF changed?
No. Your original file is only read. Extraction produces a new file and leaves the original exactly as it was.
Do extracted pages keep their quality?
Yes. The page objects are copied, not re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
