Frequently asked questions
Can I extract just a single page?
Yes — tap one thumbnail (or type its number) and extract. You get a one-page PDF.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes — ranges like 1-3, 7, 12 work, and you can tap any combination of thumbnails.
Does the original PDF lose those pages?
No. Extraction copies the pages into a new file; your original is unchanged.
Is anything uploaded?
No — pages are extracted in your browser, so the document never leaves your device. See the Privacy Policy.
When pulling out a few pages saves the day
Long PDFs have a way of carrying more than anyone needs. The bank sends twelve months of statements when your landlord asked for one. The closing packet runs ninety pages and the accountant wants only the two with the figures on them. A colleague needs the appendix from a report, not the whole report. Sending the entire file in those situations is slower, heavier in the inbox, and quietly over-shares information nobody asked for.
Extracting the exact pages fixes all three problems at once: the recipient gets a small file with only what’s relevant, you avoid handing over personal details that were never requested, and the document is easier to read because there’s nothing to scroll past. It’s the difference between giving someone the page they need and giving them a filing cabinet.
One good habit before you send: open the new file and read it as if you were the recipient. It’s easy to grab page 3 when you meant page 4, or to leave in a cover sheet with an account number you’d rather not share. Ten seconds of checking beats an awkward follow-up email — and since your original stays untouched, you can always come back and extract a different range.
