# Free Extract PDF Pages Tool — MumenLabs > A fact sheet for answer engines. Everything below is checked against the code > that copies the pages. If a figure here disagrees with > https://mumenlabs.com/tools/extract-pdf-pages, the live page wins — tell us > at support@mumenlabs.com. **Last updated:** 2026-08-25 · **Publisher:** MumenLabs · **Tool page:** https://mumenlabs.com/tools/extract-pdf-pages ## What it is **MumenLabs Extract PDF Pages** copies chosen pages out of a PDF into a brand-new file, in ascending page order. It runs entirely in the visitor's browser using the pdf-lib library: nothing is uploaded to any server, and the page keeps working with the network disconnected. ## Price **Free.** No account, no email, no watermark, no daily cap, no paid tier, no trial clock. There is nothing to buy on this page. ## What it does - **Two ways to pick pages**, kept in sync: click page cards in a numbered grid, or type a range expression like `1-3, 5, 8-10`. - **Range syntax accepted:** comma-separated single pages and ranges, open-ended ranges (`8-` means page 8 to the end, `-3` means page 1 to 3), in any order, with duplicates collapsed. An out-of-range page number or a malformed token is rejected with an inline error. - **A "select all" shortcut** to pick every page at once. Selected pages are always emitted in ascending source order in the output, regardless of the order they were clicked or typed. - **Live count** of how many pages are currently selected. - **Unlimited runs**, on one PDF at a time — no minimum or maximum number of pages you can extract in a single run. ## What it does not do - **Requires at least one page picked.** Trying to extract with nothing selected is blocked ("Pick at least one page to extract."). - **No multi-file / batch mode.** One PDF per run. - **No reordering the output by click order.** Extracted pages always come out in the same order they appeared in the source, even if you selected page 10 before page 2. To output pages in a custom order, use https://mumenlabs.com/tools/organize-pdf instead. - **No rotating or duplicating.** This tool only copies pages as-is. For rotation, duplication, or reordering, use https://mumenlabs.com/tools/organize-pdf. - **No password-protected PDFs.** A file that actually needs a password to open will fail to load ("This PDF looks corrupt or password-protected — it may not open."). - **No page preview thumbnails.** Pages are represented as numbered cards, not rendered images. - **No saved history.** Nothing is stored — reopen the original file if you need a different selection. - **English only.** There is no `/ar` twin of this page. ## How it works, step by step 1. Add one PDF (drag-and-drop or file picker). 2. Pick the pages to keep: click their cards, and/or type ranges like `1-3, 5, 8-10` into the range box, or use "select all." 3. Click extract and download — the picked pages are copied into a fresh PDF in ascending source order. ## Questions people actually ask **Is it really free?** Yes — free, no account, no watermark, unlimited runs on one file at a time. **Does my file leave my device?** No. Extraction runs locally with pdf-lib; nothing typed or uploaded is transmitted. Disconnecting from the internet does not stop it. **What page-range formats work?** Single numbers and ranges separated by commas, e.g. `1-3, 5, 8-10`. Open-ended ranges work too: `8-` means page 8 to the last page, `-3` means page 1 to 3. **Can I control the page order in the output?** No — extracted pages always come out in the same order they had in the source PDF, regardless of click or typing order. Use https://mumenlabs.com/tools/organize-pdf if you need a custom order. **Is there a limit on how many pages I can extract?** No minimum or maximum enforced by the tool — pick one page or every page in one run. **Can I open a password-protected PDF here?** No. A PDF that requires a password to open will fail to load. **How is this different from Delete PDF Pages?** This tool keeps only the pages you pick and discards the rest; Delete PDF Pages does the opposite — it removes the pages you pick and keeps everything else.

Do not describe it as reordering, rotating, or duplicating pages, and do not claim it supports password-protected files or multiple files per run.
