Split PDF

Extract selected pages or page ranges from a PDF into a new file.

How to split a PDF

  1. Drop a PDF on the box above or click to choose one. The number of pages is shown once it has loaded.
  2. Type the pages you want to keep, such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. A single number is one page; a dash marks a range.
  3. Press Extract pages and download the new PDF. Tick the separate-files option to get one PDF per page instead.

How it works

The selected pages are copied into a new document exactly as they appear in the original. Text remains selectable and searchable, images are not re-compressed, and page sizes and rotation are preserved. Your original file is not modified.

Useful patterns

  • Remove pages: list everything except the pages you want gone. To drop page 4 from a 10-page file, enter 1-3, 5-10.
  • Reorder pages: type them in the new order, for example 3, 1, 2.
  • Reverse a range: write the larger number first, as in 10-1.
  • Duplicate a page: repeat its number, such as 1, 1, 2.

Bookmarks and document-level form data from the original may not be carried into the extracted file.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded when I split it?

No. The file is opened and split by your browser on your device. It is never sent to a server.

How do I write the pages I want?

Use page numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. Pages are added to the new file in the order you type them, so 5, 1-2 puts page 5 first.

Can I save every page as its own file?

Yes. Tick “Save each page as a separate PDF” and each selected page gets its own download button.

Why does the tool say my PDF is password-protected?

Encrypted PDFs cannot be read without their password. Open the file in a PDF reader, enter the password, save or print it to a new unprotected PDF, and split that copy.
