How to Extract Pages from a PDF for Free

Pull specific pages out of a PDF without any subscription or software. Free, browser-based page extraction — specify a range and download.

Extracting specific pages from a PDF — pulling out pages 5, 10, and 15 from a 50-page document, for example — used to require Adobe Acrobat Pro. FixMyPDF's free split tool does this in seconds, in your browser, with no subscription.

What Is Page Extraction?

Page extraction means taking specific pages from a PDF and saving them as a new, separate PDF file — while leaving the original intact. It's different from deleting pages (which modifies the original) or splitting (which divides the whole document into parts). Extraction creates a new file from a selection of pages.

How to Extract Pages

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/split, upload your PDF, and enter the page numbers you want to extract. Format examples: "5, 10, 15" extracts those three pages into one new PDF; "5-10" extracts pages 5 through 10 as a continuous section; "1, 5-7, 12" mixes individual pages and ranges.

Extracting Non-Consecutive Pages

The comma-separated format is the key feature here. If you need pages 2, 8, 14, and 20 from a report — type "2, 8, 14, 20" and you'll get a 4-page PDF with exactly those pages in that order. This is the format Adobe Acrobat uses, so it's familiar if you've used it before.

Does Extraction Preserve Hyperlinks and Fonts?

Yes — the extracted pages are taken directly from the original PDF's page tree. All hyperlinks, embedded fonts, form fields, and annotations from the original pages are preserved in the extracted file. The only thing that changes is which pages are included.

Free Means Free — No Watermark

We don't add watermarks to extracted PDFs. The output is a clean PDF with your selected pages — no FixMyPDF branding, no "created with free version" text. The extracted pages look identical to the originals.

Extracting vs. Deleting Pages

If your goal is to remove certain pages from a PDF (keep everything except pages 3, 5, 7), it's easier to think of it as extraction: extract all the pages you want to keep rather than deleting the ones you don't. Type all the page numbers except those you want removed.

Next Steps After Extraction

After extracting your pages, you might want to merge the extracted pages with another PDF, compress the result before emailing, or use our rotation tool if any extracted pages are sideways.
