Answer 1

Other than online uploading solutions, there are also offline editors like Fontforge that can do the same task.

For instance you can look at this guide for Fontforge which do the same task.

The main reason why this could be preferrable over online solutions are that, other than more customizable subsettings, there are also no file size restrictions in doing the extraction process locally. It is rather common for Chinese fonts especially for those with large collection of glyphs.
