Split PDF
About the Split PDF
The Split PDF tool extracts specific pages or page ranges from a PDF and saves them as separate files. When you only need a few pages out of a long document — or want to break one big PDF into smaller pieces — splitting gives you exactly the pages you want without the rest.
This solves the everyday problem of an oversized or all-in-one PDF: pulling a single chapter from a manual, separating one contract from a batch scan, or extracting the pages a colleague actually needs. Sharing just the relevant pages is faster and keeps the rest of the document private.
Splitting runs entirely in your browser, so the source document never leaves your device. There is no upload and no account, which keeps sensitive records and unpublished material secure while you carve out the pages you need.
How to use the Split PDF
- Upload the PDF you want to split by dragging it in or browsing for it.
- Review the page count and decide which pages or ranges you need.
- Enter the page numbers or ranges to extract (for example 1-3, 5, 8-10).
- Start the split to generate the new file or files.
- Download the resulting pages to your device.
Common use cases

Frequently asked questions
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. You can specify individual pages and ranges together, so picking pages like 1, 4, and 7-9 in one operation is straightforward.
Does splitting change the original file?
No. Your original PDF is left untouched; the tool produces new files containing only the pages you selected.
Will the extracted pages keep their formatting?
Yes. Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text, images, and layout remain identical to the original.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
How do I know which page numbers to enter?
Open the PDF in any viewer to find the pages you want, then enter those numbers and ranges in the tool.
