When you receive a 50-page document but only need to share a 3-page excerpt with a client or bank, sending the entire document exposes unnecessary information and wastes bandwidth.

This tool allows you to extract exact page ranges or separate every page into individual PDF files directly in your browser.

Specifying Custom Page Ranges

Our range parser supports intuitive formats: enter "1-5" to extract the first five pages, "3, 7, 9" for non-consecutive pages, or "1-4, 8, 12-15" for mixed blocks.

Practical Tips

  • Use page ranges to isolate signed contract pages without including lengthy appendices.

Honest Limits

  • Password protected documents cannot be read without decryption.
