How do I extract specific pages from a PDF for a government submission?

Enter the page numbers you need in the page range field. Vakru extracts only those pages into a new PDF — no server, no upload, nothing stored anywhere.

What split modes are available?

Three modes: split by page ranges (e.g. 1-5, 6-10), extract specific pages (e.g. 1, 3, 7), or divide every N pages. Multiple parts are downloaded as a ZIP.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.

Can I extract just one page?

Yes. Use the 'Specific pages' mode and enter a single page number to extract it as a standalone PDF.

Does it work on encrypted PDFs?

No. Use the Unlock PDF tool first to remove password protection, then split.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome without any installation.

💡 Pro Tips

Use page ranges for chapter extraction

Enter ranges like '1-10, 11-25, 26-40' to extract multiple chapters in one operation - each range becomes its own PDF.

Split to reduce file size for uploads

If a platform has a file size limit, split your PDF into smaller parts and upload them separately.

Extract a single page for cover sheets

Use Specific Pages mode with just '1' to extract only the first page as a standalone PDF.

Combine with Compress for smallest parts

After splitting, run each part through Compress PDF to minimize file size before emailing or uploading.
