🔍 How It Works Under the Hood
This tool leverages the pdf-lib JavaScript library — a powerful, open-source PDF manipulation engine that runs entirely in your browser. When you select a PDF file, the tool reads its structure, identifies all pages, and lets you pick which ones to keep. It then creates a brand-new PDF document containing only your selected pages, preserving all text, images, and formatting from the original. The entire process is client-side, meaning zero server interaction and maximum privacy.
📋 Tips for Best Results
- Large PDFs: For files with 100+ pages, the visual grid may scroll. Use the range input for faster selection of large contiguous ranges.
- File Size Limit: The tool handles files up to approximately 50MB smoothly. For very large files, consider splitting them first.
- Browser Compatibility: Works on all modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers.
- Download Location: Extracted files save to your device's default download folder. Check your browser's download settings if you can't find the file.
