How to Extract Pages from PDF Free Online

February 2026· 5 min read· By PDFcraft

Need just a few pages from a large PDF? Extracting specific pages lets you share only what's relevant, reduce file size, or separate sections of a document. PDFcraft lets you extract any pages from a PDF for free — no sign up, no watermarks.

When do you need to extract PDF pages?

01

Share only relevant pages

Extract the specific pages a client or colleague needs instead of sending an entire 50-page document.

02

Separate chapters or sections

Split a large document into individual chapters or sections, each as a separate PDF file.

03

Remove confidential pages before sharing

Extract the non-confidential pages into a new PDF, leaving out sensitive sections.

04

Reduce file size for sending

Extracting only the needed pages creates a much smaller file that is easier to email or share.

How to extract pages from PDF — step by step

01

Open PDFcraft Split PDF tool

Go to PDFcraft and click Split PDF. This tool lets you extract specific pages or page ranges from any PDF.

02

Select your PDF

Click Select File and choose the PDF you want to extract pages from. The file stays on your device.

03

Enter the pages you want

Enter specific page numbers (like 1, 3, 5) or page ranges (like 2-8) to extract. You can combine both — for example: 1, 3-7, 10.

04

Click Extract Pages

PDFcraft creates a new PDF containing only the pages you specified. This happens instantly in your browser.

05

Download the extracted PDF

Click Download to save the new PDF with only your selected pages. No watermarks added.

Extract vs Split — what is the difference?

01

Extract pages

Extracts specific pages into a new PDF. The original PDF is not modified. You choose exactly which pages you want.

02

Split into parts

Divides the PDF into multiple separate files — for example, split a 20-page PDF into 4 files of 5 pages each.

💡 Pro tip

To extract multiple separate page ranges into different files, run the Split PDF tool multiple times with different page ranges. Each run creates a separate extracted PDF.
