A free PDF page extractor: open a PDF, tick the pages you need, type a page range like 12-20, or pick a whole chapter from the document's bookmarks, and download just those pages as a new PDF. Text, fonts and graphics stay exactly as they were — pages are copied, not re-scanned. Nothing is uploaded: the file is split on the visitor's device, with no account and no watermark. It covers "save one page of a PDF", "save only certain pages", "extract a chapter from a PDF" and "split a PDF by bookmarks".

## How it works

1. **Open the PDF.** Drop it onto the page or choose it from the phone or computer. Every page appears as a thumbnail; a PDF with bookmarks also shows its chapters, each with its page span.
2. **Pick the pages.** Tap thumbnails to select single pages, type a range such as 1-5, 8 or 12-20, or click a chapter to select all of its pages at once (click a selected chapter again to drop it). Sections inside a chapter can be expanded and picked on their own. The magnifier on a thumbnail opens the page large enough to read, with arrows to flip through the document and a button to select it from there.
3. **Extract and download.** The new PDF is written on the device in a few seconds and downloads named after the file and the pages (for example `book-pages-12-20.pdf`), or after the chapter that was chosen (`book-chapter-3-the-cell.pdf`).

## What the tool does with the PDF

- Saves one page, a page range or any mix of pages as a separate PDF file.
- Splits a PDF by its chapters: if the document has bookmarks (most textbooks, theses and reports do), each chapter and section is one click.
- Keeps the original quality: pages are copied with their fonts, images and vector graphics, so text stays selectable and searchable. Bookmarks, form fields and annotations that live outside the page are not carried over, and links that point to pages outside the selection are removed so no unselected page travels along inside the file.
- Handles long documents: a 1,000-page book opens fine; previews render only as they scroll into view.
- Made for students: extract the chapter being revised, then import it into PupilBot (https://www.pupilbot.com/pdf-to-flashcards) to practise with AI-written questions and spaced repetition. A PupilBot study takes up to 50 pages, so a chapter extracted here imports in one go.

## Frequently asked questions

1. **Is it really free, with no account?** Yes. No account, no watermark, no file-size limit and no daily quota. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to charge for.
2. **Is my PDF uploaded to a server?** No. The file is opened, previewed and rewritten by the page itself, on the device; the only downloads are the page's own scripts. Nothing that is opened is sent anywhere.
3. **How do I save just one page of a PDF?** Open the PDF, tap that page's thumbnail (or type its number in the Pages box and press Add), then press "Extract pages". The result is a one-page PDF named after the original file and the page number.
4. **How do I extract a chapter from a PDF?** If the PDF has bookmarks, a Chapters list appears above the thumbnails with each chapter's page span. Click the chapter and press "Extract pages"; the download is named after the chapter. Without bookmarks, type the chapter's page range instead.
5. **Does the extracted PDF keep the text, images and formatting?** Yes. Pages are copied from the original with their fonts, images and vector graphics; nothing is rasterised.
6. **Can I split a PDF into several files?** One file per run: select the first part and extract, then the next part and extract again. The original stays open, so splitting a book into chapters is one click and one download per chapter.
7. **What about password-protected PDFs?** They must have the password removed first (for example by printing them to a new PDF); the tool reports this rather than producing a broken file.
