What is Extract PDF Pages?
Extract PDF Pages lets you choose exactly which pages to save from a PDF. Use thumbnail selection or type ranges such as 1, 3, 5-8, then export only those pages.
Selected pages can become one new PDF, separate PDF files, or page images in JPG, PNG, or WEBP format. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the source PDF is never uploaded.
When to use it
- Send only the relevant pages from a long report or contract.
- Save selected PDF pages as images for uploads, previews, or design work.
- Pull odd or even pages out of a scanned document.
- Create a smaller PDF from just the pages you need.
How to use it safely without uploading
Drop a PDF, click page thumbnails or enter page ranges, choose PDF or image output, and export. Multi-file results download as a ZIP generated in your browser.
Browser-based vs server-based conversion
Most online converters upload your files to their servers, process them there, and then let you download the result. That means your file exists on someone else's computer, often in logs and backups, sometimes indefinitely. FormatSwitch is different: every conversion runs on your device using WebAssembly and the browser's built-in Canvas and PDF engines. Your file never leaves your computer, so there is nothing to leak, nothing to subpoena, and nothing to trust us on — the code that does the work is running right in your tab.
FAQ
Extract PDF Pages — questions people ask
- Can I extract PDF pages without uploading the file?
- No. Files are processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and no copy is kept once you close or refresh the tab.
- Can selected pages be exported as images?
- Yes. You can export selected pages as JPG, PNG, or WEBP images. Each selected page becomes one image file.
- Can selected pages stay in one PDF?
- Yes. Choose One PDF to create a new PDF containing only the selected pages, in original page order.
- Can I type page ranges?
- Yes. Use comma-separated ranges such as 1, 3, 5-8. You can also select all, odd, or even pages with one click.
- Does the output have a watermark?
- Never. FormatSwitch adds no watermark, logo, or quality cap to your output — the file you download is only what your browser produced.
- Are my PDF files stored anywhere?
- No. Files live only in your browser's memory (JavaScript heap). They disappear when you clear the queue, refresh, or close the tab. There is no server, no database, no log.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes. Every tool runs on modern iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Very large files may be slower on mobile because of tighter memory limits.
