PDF Page Selector
Extract or remove pages from a PDF free - select pages visually from a thumbnail grid or type page ranges, then download the result. No signup needed.
This free PDF Page Selector lets you either extract specific pages into a new file or remove unwanted pages from a PDF - pick your mode, select pages from a visual thumbnail grid (or type page numbers/ranges), preview the result, and download. Everything happens inside your browser without uploading your document to any server.
In Extract mode, the tool pulls the pages you select into a new, standalone PDF - useful when you need to share only part of a document: pulling a specific contract clause for review, extracting a single chapter from a report, or isolating the pages you need to sign or annotate. Rather than asking the recipient to find the right pages in a large document, you send a smaller, focused file.
In Remove mode, the tool deletes the pages you select and keeps everything else - one of the most common document editing tasks. Strip a cover page before forwarding a report, remove blank or duplicate pages from a scanned document, delete a confidential section before sharing, or cut outdated appendices from a contract.
Select pages by clicking their thumbnail, using Select all / Clear / Odd / Even shortcuts, or (in Extract mode) typing a comma-separated list and dash ranges directly - 1, 3, 7 or 1-5, 8-12, combinable as 1-3, 7, 10-15. The tool shows a live count of pages selected/remaining so you can confirm before downloading.
The processing happens entirely in client-side JavaScript using the pdf-lib library, which means no upload, no server processing, no file size limits, and complete privacy - even sensitive documents can be processed safely. For combining multiple PDFs or reordering pages, see the Merge PDF tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I extract or remove pages from a PDF for free?
Upload your PDF, choose Extract or Remove mode, select the pages you want using the thumbnail grid or a typed range (e.g., 1-3, 7, 10), and click the action button. The tool generates a new PDF and downloads it instantly. No signup or server upload required.
- What is the difference between extracting and removing pages?
Extracting keeps only the pages you select and discards everything else, producing a smaller focused file. Removing deletes the pages you select and keeps everything else. Switch modes with the toggle at the top of the tool - your uploaded file and thumbnails carry over.
- Can I select a range of pages instead of clicking each one?
Yes, in Extract mode. Enter page ranges using a dash - for example, 3-7 selects pages 3 through 7 - and combine ranges with individual pages using commas: 1-3, 7, 10-15. In Remove mode, use the thumbnail grid or the Odd/Even/Select all/Clear shortcuts.
- Is there a daily limit on how many PDFs I can process?
No. Extract or remove pages from as many PDFs as you need, with no daily cap and no watermark on the output - a deliberately narrow tool that does one job well without a bloated editor UI.
- Is my PDF secure when I use this tool?
Yes. Both modes rebuild the PDF locally using pdf-lib - copying just the pages you keep into a brand-new file - so the full original document, including any pages you don
