Is it safe to use Extract PDF with private files?
The file is handled in your browser for this tool, so its contents do not need to be uploaded to a conversion server.
Can I use Extract PDF on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Extract PDF runs in a modern mobile browser, and because the file is processed on your device nothing is uploaded. Keep the tab open until it finishes — larger files are still easier to review on a bigger screen.
Is there a maximum file size for Extract PDF?
Because Extract PDF works in your browser, the practical limit is your device's available memory rather than an upload cap. If a very large file stalls, close other tabs or split the work into smaller parts.
Does Extract PDF change my original file?
No — your original file stays unchanged. Extract PDF saves a new PDF with selected pages as a separate download.
How long does Extract PDF take?
It depends on your device. Small files finish almost instantly, while large page counts, high-resolution images, and complex layouts take longer because everything is computed locally in your browser.
Why did my Extract PDF job fail or look different?
Extraction does not edit the content printed on a page; it only selects complete pages. Also confirm that the source file is not damaged, uses a supported format, and is not blocked by an unknown password.
