How do I extract pages from a PDF?
Upload your PDF, then click the page thumbnails you want to keep — or type a page range like 1,3,5-7 and click Apply. When you click Extract Pages, your browser builds a new PDF containing only the pages you selected and downloads it immediately.
Can I extract a range of pages?
Yes. Enter ranges like 2-5,8,10-12 in the page selector and click Apply — the tool parses the ranges and selects exactly those pages.
Will the extracted pages keep their quality?
Yes. Pages are copied with pdf-lib exactly as they are — text stays selectable, images are untouched, and nothing is re-encoded.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file is read into memory, the selected pages are copied, and your browser saves the result — there is no upload step and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
What is the difference between Extract and Delete pages?
They are opposites. Extract Pages keeps only the pages you select and drops the rest. Delete Pages removes the pages you select and keeps the rest. If you select pages 3–5, Extract produces a PDF with only pages 3–5, while Delete produces a PDF without pages 3–5.
