iPhones don't have a built-in way to extract individual pages from a PDF file — the Files app can view PDFs but not split them. You don't need to install any app. QuickyDesk's Split PDF tool works entirely in your iPhone's mobile browser and can extract any page from any PDF in under a minute.
Extracting a PDF Page on iPhone
Step 1: Locate the PDF in the Files App
Open the Files app and find the PDF you want to split. If the PDF came as an email attachment, open the email, tap the PDF, and choose "Save to Files" to save it to your Downloads folder.
Step 2: Open QuickyDesk in Safari
Open Safari and navigate to QuickyDesk's Split PDF tool.
Step 3: Upload the PDF
Tap the upload area. Safari will prompt you to choose files. Navigate to the Files app, find the PDF, and select it.
Step 4: Enter the Page Number
Enter the page number you want to extract (e.g., 5 for page 5 only, or 5-7 for pages 5 through 7). Tap the split or extract button.
Step 5: Download the Extracted Page
Tap the download button. Safari saves the extracted PDF to the Downloads folder in your Files app. From there, tap Share to email it, send via AirDrop, or save to iCloud Drive.
