It is often simpler to say what you keep than what you throw away. To pass on three pages of an eighty-page report, extraction saves printing, rescanning or installing software.
How it works
Drop your file on the page, or click to pick it from your folders.
Start the job. It runs inside your browser: nothing is sent to a server.
Download the result. No account, no watermark, no queue.
When this really helps
Pass on an excerpt
Three pages of a contract go out without the rest of the file.
Build a piece of evidence
Only the pages the authority asked for are attached.
Recover a chapter
Part of a book or a manual becomes a document of its own.
What the conversion keeps, and what it loses
Working inside a browser comes with limits a hosted service does not have. Here they are in plain words, so you know what to expect before you start.
What is kept
- The exact quality of the pages you keep
- Selectable text
- The original order
- Page sizes
What is not carried over
- Bookmarks pointing at discarded pages
- Filled form fields
- Electronic signatures
Worth knowing about the format
The preview shows every page as a thumbnail: one click selects, another deselects. Nothing is sent to produce that preview — it is computed in your browser.
Not the right tool?
- Delete pages — Quand il y a plus de pages à garder qu'à jeter, l'inverse est plus rapide.
- Split a PDF — Pour obtenir plusieurs morceaux d'un coup plutôt qu'un seul extrait.
- Organise pages — Pour aussi remettre les pages dans l'ordre voulu.
Why it's free
Online converters receive your file on their servers, process it, then promise to delete it. Every document costs them computing time: that is why they charge, and why they cap file sizes.
Here, the work happens on your own computer. The page contains no server code: your document cannot be received, because it is never sent. So there is nothing to bill, nothing to cap, and nothing to delete afterwards. Cut your connection once the page has loaded — everything keeps working.
Frequently asked questions
Do extracted pages keep their quality?
Entirely: they are copied without re-encoding. Text stays selectable and images keep their resolution.
Can I reorder at the same time?
Pages come out in their original order. To rearrange them, use the organise tool, which lets you move each page.
Is there a limit on the number of pages?
No. The preview renders thumbnails as you scroll, which stays smooth even on a thick document.
Other tools
Edit the text in a PDF — Fix a line that is already written, even on a scanned document. This is the feature other services charge for, and the natural starting point when you need to retouch before converting.
