How is this different from other online PDF tools?

Most online PDF tools send your files to a remote server for processing. This tool processes everything locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never transmitted to any server, which means your document content stays entirely under your control.

Are my PDF files uploaded?

No. Your files are read directly by your browser. Your files are never transmitted over the network. The tool works entirely within the browser tab you have open.

Can I verify that files are not uploaded?

Yes. Open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab, and watch for any outgoing requests while using the tool. You will see no file data leave your browser. The site may record an anonymous page-view count, which never includes your files and can be disabled.

Does this tool work offline?

Yes, once the page has loaded the tool processes your files entirely in your browser; tool functionality needs no network connection. You can disconnect from the internet and continue using it.

What happens when I refresh the page?

Because nothing is stored on a server, refreshing the page clears your current session. Any files you had selected will need to be selected again.

Does this tool store my files?

No. Files are held in browser memory only for as long as the page is open. Closing or refreshing the page discards them. Nothing is written to disk by the tool, and nothing is sent to a server.

Can this tool unlock password-protected PDFs?

No. This tool does not attempt to remove or bypass PDF password protection. If you know the password, the Unlock PDF tool on this site can remove it locally; then this tool can process the file.

What technologies does this tool use?

This tool uses client-side JavaScript and pdf-lib to copy the chosen pages into a fresh PDF entirely within your browser — your files never leave your browser.

Does this tool use WebAssembly?

No. This tool uses client-side JavaScript and pdf-lib for local PDF structure editing. No WebAssembly is involved.

How do I extract specific pages from my PDF?

Choose your PDF with the file picker, then type the pages you want in the page box, for example 1-3,5,8. Click Extract and a single new PDF with just those pages is built in your browser, ready to save. Everything happens locally on your device.

Can I reorder the pages, like put page 8 before page 1?

Yes. The pages are placed into the new PDF in the exact order you list them, so entering 8,1,5 produces a file with page 8 first, then 1, then 5. This is handy for quickly rearranging while you pull pages out.

What happens if I list the same page twice or use a backwards range?

Duplicate page numbers are automatically removed, so each page appears at most once even if you enter it more than once. A backwards range such as 5-2 is rejected with an error, so write ranges in ascending order like 2-5.

Does the Extract PDF Pages tool cost anything to use?

Extracting pages from a PDF is completely free — no account, no sign-up, and no limit on how many PDFs you process, and it always will be. Because the page extraction runs entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib, your document is never sent anywhere: it stays on your device from the moment you open it to the moment you download the new file.
