Why pdfdots?
Private by design
Most tools process files locally in your browser. Office conversions run on our EU server and are deleted right after; anything you save to My files is encrypted.
Generous free plan
A free account with Google sign-in and no credit card: 3 tasks a day, files up to 10 MB, every tool. Need more? The paid plans (Bronze, Silver and Gold) raise the daily limit, with no daily limit at all on Silver and Gold, and accept larger files.
Fast
For browser tools there's no upload or download queue. Work starts the moment you drop a file and finishes at the speed of your own computer.
Works everywhere
Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android or Chromebook — if it has a modern browser, pdfdots runs on it. Nothing to install.
Sending only the pages that matter

Often you only need to share part of a document: the signature page of a contract, a single chapter of a manual, the one bank statement page a landlord asks for, or the relevant section of a long report. Extract Pages creates a new PDF containing just the pages you list, leaving your original file untouched.
Type page numbers separated by commas, with hyphens for ranges. 1, 3-5 keeps page 1 and pages 3 to 5, in that order, in a single file. If you want each range as a separate file instead, use Split PDF, which packs the parts into a ZIP. Page numbers count from the first page of the file, regardless of any numbers printed on the pages.
Extracted pages are copied as they are, with selectable text and full image quality, and the new file is naturally smaller than the original. Because the whole process runs in your browser, sensitive documents never leave your device — handy when you want to share one page without exposing the rest.
Extracting is also a smart first step before other tools. If you only need a few pages converted to JPG, compressed for an upload form or printed, extract them first so the next tool works on a smaller file and finishes faster. You can extract several different selections from the same PDF simply by running the tool again with different page numbers, since the original file is never modified.
Our take
We extract pages when someone needs just a part of a big document: the signature page of a contract, one chapter of a manual, or the two pages of an annual report that contain the figures a colleague asked for.
We list only what we need, for example 1, 14-16, and send that small file instead of the full document. It keeps attachments light and avoids sharing sections the recipient has no reason to see, which we think is good practice with anything confidential.
The pitfall: page numbers printed on the paper often differ from the real position in the PDF, so check in a viewer first. When you want several separate files out of one document rather than a single excerpt, Split PDF with ranges is the better choice.
