Sometimes you need just one page: the signature page of a lease, page 3 of a bank statement for proof of address, the one form a school asked for out of a 20-page packet. Sending the whole document is overkill, and it can share more personal information than you mean to.
Here's how to pull a single page (or a few) out of a PDF with Quick PDF's Extract pages tool on any device, plus the built-in Print to PDF method and when each makes sense.
Save one page of a PDF with Quick PDF
- Open Extract pages Go to quickpdfapp.com, sign in and open Extract pages. It runs in Safari, Chrome, Edge and other modern browsers.
- Choose your PDF Pick the document from your Files app, Downloads folder or computer. The file is opened on your device, not uploaded.
- Select the page Tap the page you want to keep as its own file. You can select more than one page if you need a few, for example the first page and the signature page.
- Save it as a new PDF Download the selected page or pages. They are saved together as a brand-new PDF, and the original document isn't changed.
- Check and rename Open the new file to confirm it's the right page, and give it a clear name such as "lease-signature-page.pdf" so it's easy to find and attach.
When you'd want just one page
- Proof of address or income. Landlords, banks and schools often ask for one page of a utility bill, pay stub or statement, not the whole thing.
- Signature pages. Some people ask only for the signed page back once everything else has been agreed.
- Form packets. Tax and benefits packets often bundle instructions with the form itself. Send only the form.
- Tickets and confirmations. Keep just the page with the barcode or booking reference on your phone.
- Upload limits. A single page is far smaller than a long document, which helps with strict size limits on upload forms.
In every case the reader gets exactly what they asked for, and you share less of your personal information.
The Print to PDF method
Most devices can also save a single page by "printing" it to a PDF file:
- Windows: open the PDF in Edge or Chrome, press Ctrl+P, choose Microsoft Print to PDF or Save as PDF, set Pages to the page number, and save.
- Mac: open the PDF, choose File > Print, enter the page in the From/To boxes, then click the PDF button and Save as PDF. In Preview you can also drag a page thumbnail from the sidebar onto the desktop.
- Chromebook: press Ctrl+P, pick Save as PDF and enter a custom page.
- iPhone: open the PDF, tap Share, then Print. Choose the page range, then pinch out on the preview and share or save the result as a PDF.
Printing works but can drop fillable form fields, links and sometimes quality, and it gets fiddly when you want several non-adjacent pages. Extract pages keeps the original page as it is.
Saving one page on iPhone and Android
- iPhone and iPad: open quickpdfapp.com in Safari, use Extract pages, and the new PDF saves to Files (usually Downloads). From there tap Share to send it by Mail, Messages or WhatsApp.
- Android: open the site in Chrome, extract the page and the file lands in Downloads. Share it from Files by Google or straight from the download notification.
If you mostly work on a phone, you can add Quick PDF to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Saving a page as an image instead
Some places want a picture, not a PDF: a profile upload, a chat message, a slide. In that case use PDF to JPG, select the page and choose JPG or PNG and a quality level (Small, Normal, High or Print). Our guide on saving a PDF page as a JPG walks through it.
For anything official, such as forms, statements and contracts, keep it as a PDF. Text stays sharp at any zoom and the receiver can print it cleanly.
Extract, split or delete: which one?
| You want | Use |
|---|---|
| One or a few pages as a new file | Extract pages |
| The whole document cut into several files | Split (see separating PDF pages) |
| The same document minus some pages | Delete pages (see removing pages) |
Before you send that page
- Hide what they don't need. A bank statement page might show balances or account numbers the receiver doesn't need. Redact removes them properly, rather than just covering them.
- Sign if needed. If it's a signature page, add your signature with Sign before you send it.
- Check it's the right page. The page number printed on the paper may not match the PDF's own page order, especially in scanned documents with cover pages.
