You have a 300-page reference document and need just chapter 7 (pages 145-178) for an email. Adobe Acrobat handles this but costs $19.99/month. PDFKits Extract Pages pulls selected pages from any PDF into a new standalone file. Free, in your browser, no upload — useful for sharing partial documents, building custom packets, or isolating specific sections.
Extract Pages is the inverse of Remove Pages: you select which pages to keep, and the output PDF contains only those. The original document is unchanged. Quality, fonts, embedded resources, and metadata of extracted pages are preserved exactly.
Drop the file. PDFKits renders all pages as thumbnails.
Click thumbnails or type a range ("5-20, 35, 50-55"). Selected pages highlight green. The bottom panel shows total selected count and estimated output size.
Click Extract. PDFKits writes a new PDF containing only the selected pages, in the order you selected them. Download the standalone file.

A contract has a signature page on page 47 of 50. Extract just that page to share back with the other party.
Extracting pages without re-uploading or paying a subscription is a common, basic need. PDFKits handles it free, in your browser via pdf-lib, with both visual and range-based selection. The output is a clean standalone PDF with full quality preservation.
Yes. Pages are copied byte-for-byte. Fonts, images, and embedded resources are preserved exactly.
Currently each extract operation produces one output PDF. For multi-file split workflows, use our Split PDF tool which supports splitting per page or per range.
The physical position numbers restart at 1. If your PDF has visible page numbers added as content (not viewer-generated), those don't update — re-run our Page Numbers tool if needed.
Yes. Select pages in the order you want them in the output — the output PDF respects your selection order.
External links remain. Internal cross-references that pointed to removed pages may break — typical for any document subset.
Unlock first via our Unlock PDF tool, then extract.
