## What is Extract PDF Pages?

Extract PDF Pages is a free browser-based PDF tool from Farvixo that lets you pull selected pages out into a new PDF (e.g. 1, 3-4). It runs entirely on your own device using WebAssembly, so the document is never uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up, no watermark on the output and no cap on how many documents you process.

## How to use Extract PDF Pages

1. **Add your PDF** — Drag your PDF into Extract PDF Pages or click to browse. The file stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
2. **Set up the document** — Reorder, select page ranges and pick the output settings you need. Extract PDF Pages shows a live preview so you can check the result before committing to it.
3. **Save the finished PDF** — Download the new PDF straight away. No watermark, no page limit and no sign-up — run Extract PDF Pages as often as you need.

## Use cases

- Preparing a document for an email attachment or an upload form with a size limit
- Students and office workers who need one PDF change without buying a desktop editor
- Handling contracts, invoices or ID documents that should not be uploaded to a third-party server
- Cleaning up a scanned document before archiving or sharing it

## Tips

- Check the page count and orientation in the preview before you download — reordering afterwards means starting over.
- If a PDF refuses to open, it is usually password-protected; remove the password first, then re-run this tool.
- Very large PDFs are limited by your device memory, not by an upload cap. Splitting a 500-page file into parts is faster than processing it whole.

## Common problems

- **The PDF will not load** — The file is encrypted or was produced by a non-standard writer. Open it in a PDF reader, print it back to PDF, and try again.
- **Text comes out garbled or as boxes** — The PDF has no embedded font or no text layer at all. A scanned page needs OCR first — use PDF OCR, then re-run this tool.
- **The browser tab becomes unresponsive** — The document is larger than the available memory. Close other tabs, or split the PDF and process it in sections.

## FAQ

### How is this different from splitting a PDF?

Splitting divides the whole document into parts. Extracting takes only the pages you asked for and leaves the rest behind — which is what you want when you need to send one section of a long report rather than the entire thing.

### Is quality lost?

None. The chosen pages are copied as they are, without re-encoding, so text and images are identical to the source.

### Can I reorder the pages while extracting?

Yes. Pages come out in the order you list them, so entering 5, 1, 3 produces exactly that sequence rather than sorting them numerically.

### What happens to bookmarks and links?

Links pointing within the extracted range survive. Anything pointing at a page you left behind cannot resolve and is dropped, since that page is not in the new document.

### Is my document uploaded?

No. Extraction runs in your browser, so pulling one section out of a confidential report does not involve sending the whole report anywhere.
