How to Split PDFs

The PDF Split tool extracts specific pages or page ranges from a PDF document — entirely in your browser.

  1. Upload the PDF you want to split.
  2. Specify page numbers or ranges (e.g., 1-3, 5, 8-12).
  3. Download the extracted pages as a new PDF.

How PDF Splitting Works

PDF splitting creates a new document containing only the selected pages from the original. The content, formatting, and quality of extracted pages are preserved exactly. This is useful for separating chapters, extracting specific forms, or removing unwanted pages from a document.

Why Use Our PDF Splitter?

  • Page range support — extract individual pages or ranges (1-5, 8, 10-15).
  • Preview pages — see thumbnail previews before extracting.
  • No quality loss — pages are copied without recompression.
  • No upload — everything runs locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes. Specify individual pages and ranges separated by commas (e.g., 1, 3-5, 8). All selected pages are combined into one output PDF.

Does splitting reduce file size?

Yes, proportionally. If you extract 5 pages from a 20-page document, the result will be roughly 25% of the original size.

Are my PDFs private?

Yes. Processing happens entirely in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before splitting. This tool does not handle encrypted PDFs.
