Free tool
Extract pages from a PDF — free, in your browser
Open a PDF, tick the pages you need, type a range like 12-20, or pick a whole chapter from the document's bookmarks, and download just those pages as a new PDF. Text, fonts and graphics stay exactly as they were. Nothing is uploaded: the file is split on your device, with no account and no watermark.

Privacy: your PDF never leaves your device. The page reads it, draws the previews and writes the new file entirely in the browser, so there is nothing for us to store or delete.
How it works
Open the PDF
Drop it onto the page, or tap “Choose a PDF”. Every page appears as a thumbnail; a PDF with bookmarks also shows its chapters.
Pick the pages
Tap thumbnails to select single pages, type a range such as 1-5, 8 or 12-20, or click a chapter to select all of its pages at once. Click a selected chapter again to drop it. The magnifier on a thumbnail opens the page large enough to read, with arrows to flip through the document.
Extract and download
Press “Extract pages”. The new PDF is written on your device in a few seconds and downloads named after the file and the pages, or after the chapter you chose.
What this tool does with your PDF
- Saves one page of a PDF, a page range or any mix of pages as a separate PDF file — the way “save only certain pages” should work.
- Splits a PDF by its chapters: if the document has bookmarks (most textbooks, theses and reports do), each chapter and section is one click, with its page span shown.
- Keeps the original quality: pages are copied, not re-scanned, so text stays selectable and searchable and vector graphics stay sharp.
- Handles long documents: a 1,000-page book opens fine, previews render only as you scroll, and the new file downloads immediately.
- Made for students: extract the chapter you are revising, then import it into PupilBot to practise with AI-written questions and spaced repetition.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free, with no account?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark, no file-size limit and no daily quota. It runs in your browser, so it costs us nothing to run and there is nothing to charge for.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened, previewed and rewritten by the page itself, on your device; the only downloads are the page's own scripts. Nothing you open is sent anywhere.
How do I save just one page of a PDF?
Open the PDF, tap that page's thumbnail (or type its number in the Pages box and press Add), then press “Extract pages”. You get a one-page PDF named after the original file and the page number.
How do I extract a chapter from a PDF?
If the PDF has bookmarks, a Chapters list appears above the thumbnails with each chapter's page span. Click the chapter, check the highlighted pages, and press “Extract pages”; the download is named after the chapter. If there are no bookmarks, type the chapter's page range instead.
Does the extracted PDF keep the text, images and formatting?
Yes. The pages are copied from the original file with their fonts, images and vector graphics, so nothing is rasterised and text stays selectable and searchable. Bookmarks, form fields and annotations that live outside the page are not carried over.
Can I split a PDF into several files?
One file per run: select the pages for the first part and extract, then select the next part and extract again. The original stays open, so splitting a book into its chapters is one click and one download per chapter.
