Extract Specific Pages with Precision
Sometimes you don't need the whole book—just a chapter. Or you need a 100-page report without the annexes. DocuPlier Extract Pages is the ultimate tool for cherry-picking exactly what you want from a PDF. You can perform two key actions: Extract (keep only the pages you select) or Remove (keep everything *except* the pages you select). Use our visual grid to click pages, or type in a precise range like "1-5, 12, 15-20".

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Split and Extract?
'Split PDF' is usually for cutting a document into multiple separate parts (e.g. halves). 'Extract Pages' is for creating ONE new document containing a custom selection of pages you chose.
Can I type the page numbers instead of clicking?
Yes! Use the 'Quick Selection' text box to type ranges like '1-5, 8, 11-13'. This is the fastest way to handle large documents where clicking 100 thumbnails would be too slow.
Will it break the links inside the document?
Extracted pages retain their internal content, but links that point to pages *outside* of your selection will no longer work in the new file. We recommend verifying navigation after extraction.
Is there a limit to the file size?
Because we process the extraction locally in your browser, the limit depends on your computer's RAM. We've successfully handled files over 500MB without issue.
Is it safe to use for sensitive contracts?
Absolutely. DocuPlier works 100% offline. We never see your documents, and they are never uploaded to a server. Your data remains strictly on your device.
