Extract Pages From a PDF, or Delete the Ones You Don't Need
Gizke Team · Published · Reading time: 1 minute
Open Split PDF, drop in the file, switch to extracting pages, tap the pages you want (or type them, like 3-5, 9) and download. The new PDF holds only those pages, and the original stays untouched on your computer.
On this page
Three jobs, three modes
The tool does three different things, and picking the right mode saves a lot of clicking:
- Extract keeps the pages you pick in one new PDF. Use it when someone asks for "just the signed page and the annex".
- Delete saves a copy without the pages you pick. Better when you're removing one blank page from a 40-page scan.
- Split cuts the document into several files. Tap the scissors between pages to start a new file there.
Page ranges, the fast way
Typing is quicker than tapping once a document gets long:
1-3, 4-10, 11-makes three files: pages 1-3, 4-10, and 11 to the end.- Ranges can be in any order and can repeat pages.
- Tick the option to put all ranges into one PDF and you get a single file in the order you typed, which doubles as a quick way to reorder pages.
Handy splits people forget
- A batch of scanned forms: if every form is two pages, set pages per file to 2 and a 60-page scan becomes 30 separate PDFs, downloaded as one ZIP.
- One file per page: for photo pages or certificates you'll upload one at a time.
- Annual statements: pull out the one month an office asked for instead of sending a year of your finances.
Sending only what's needed is also privacy
A full bank statement, a whole contract or a complete medical report usually says much more than the person asking needs to see. Extract the page that answers the question. If something on that page still shouldn't be there, black it out with Redact PDF before you send it, and use Merge PDF if you need to stitch pages from different files together afterwards.
