How Do I Extract Pages from a PDF for Free?
Extracting pages from a PDF is simple with Filator's free online tool. Upload your PDF, enter the pages you want to extract using simple syntax like "1-5, 8, 10-12", and download your new PDF instantly. Unlike iLovePDF's 1-file limit or Smallpdf's registration walls, Filator offers unlimited extractions with no signup required.
Why Choose Filator's PDF Page Extractor?
♾️ Unlimited Extractions
iLovePDF limits free users to 1 file per task. Smallpdf requires account creation for multiple files. Filator has no restrictions - extract pages from as many PDFs as you need, all for free with no signup.
🎯 Flexible Page Selection
Extract page ranges (1-5), individual pages (1, 3, 5), or mix both (1-5, 8, 10-12) in one operation. This gives you precise control over which pages to extract, whether it's a single chapter or multiple sections.
🔒 100% Client-Side Processing
Your PDF is never uploaded to a server. Filator uses pdf-lib in your browser, so your document never leaves your device. Perfect for confidential contracts, legal documents, or sensitive files that must stay private.
📏 100MB File Limit
Filator accepts PDF files up to 100MB, larger than many competitors. Since processing happens in your browser, there are no server upload limits or waiting for file transfers.

Pull out individual chapters from ebooks, manuals, or reports to share or study separately. For example, extract pages 45-78 to get just Chapter 3.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract pages from multiple PDFs at once?
Currently, Filator processes one PDF at a time to keep the interface simple and fast. However, there's no limit on how many PDFs you can extract - just click "Extract Another" after each file to process additional documents.
Does extracting pages reduce PDF quality?
No, extraction preserves the original page quality exactly. The pages in your new PDF will look identical to the source PDF - no compression or quality loss occurs during the extraction process.
What happens to the original PDF?
The original PDF remains unchanged. Extraction creates a new PDF file containing only the pages you selected, leaving your source file intact.
Can I extract pages in a different order?
Pages are extracted in numerical order. If you enter "8, 1-5, 10", the extracted PDF will contain pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 in that sequence.
Is there a limit on the number of pages I can extract?
No page count limit. You can extract any number of pages from your PDF, whether it's 1 page or 500 pages. The only limit is the file size (100MB maximum).
Do you store my PDFs after extraction?
No, your PDFs are never uploaded or stored. All processing happens locally in your browser using pdf-lib. When you close the page, your files are gone - nothing is saved on our servers because we never receive them.
