How to Extract Pages from a PDF (Free, on Your Phone)

A long PDF often has only a few pages you really need: one certificate from a big file, a single form page, or one chapter of a report. Sending the whole document is slow, and it may share pages you did not want to share.

The easy fix is to extract the pages you need into a new, smaller PDF.

When do you need to extract PDF pages?

• A form asks for only specific pages of a long document
• You want to send one invoice or certificate from a large file
• You need one chapter or section, not the whole report
• You want to share only the pages that are safe to share

How to extract pages from a PDF step by step

1. Open the Extract Pages tool. Use the button at the top of this page to open Pdfyra Workspace.
2. Add your PDF. Choose the file from your phone or computer.
3. Select the pages you need. Pick only the pages you want in the new file.
4. Save the new file. Pdfyra creates a new PDF with just those pages.
5. Check and share. Scroll through the pages once, then save or send the file.

Tips

Check page numbers first. A cover or blank page can shift the numbering by one, so look before you pick.

Keep your original. Extracting creates a new file, so your original stays safe.
