4 ways to split a PDF

Pick the mode that matches what you need. In every mode, pages are copied without loss: text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.

ModeWhat you getExample: "1-3, 5, 8-" on 10 pages
One file per rangeOne PDF per range, in a ZIP3 files: pages 1-3, page 5, pages 8-10
Extract into one PDFA single PDF with the chosen pages1 file with 7 pages (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10)
One page per fileAs many PDFs as pages10 one-page files
Every N pagesEven blocksN = 4: pages 1-4, 5-8, 9-10

How to write page ranges

3 = page 3 · 2-6 = pages 2 to 6 · 8- = page 8 to the end · -4 = start to page 4

  • Separate ranges with commas or spaces.
  • The first page is number 1, as shown in your PDF viewer, not the number printed on the page.
  • In extract mode your order is kept: 5, 1-2 puts page 5 before pages 1 and 2.
  • A page that doesn't exist (say 12 in a 10-page PDF) triggers a clear error message.

Common uses

  • Send a single page from a 20-page PDF, such as the signature page of a lease.
  • Separate chapters of a course packet or manual into standalone files.
  • Remove unwanted pages: extract everything but them, for example 1-4, 6- to drop page 5.
  • Shrink an upload: keep only the pages you need before compressing.

3 real-life examples

1

Pull one page out of a lease

A 24-page lease where you only need the signature page, page 23. Type 23 in extract mode and you get a one-page PDF ready to send.

2

Remove page 5 from a 12-page report

Type 1-4, 6- in extract mode. The result keeps \( 4 + 7 = \) 11 pages: everything except the fifth.

3

Cut a 90-page manual into chapters

With Every N pages and \( N = 30 \) you get 3 files of 30 pages (1-30, 31-60, 61-90) bundled in a ZIP. For 100 pages with \( N = 30 \), the last file would only have 10.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract a page from a PDF for free?
Drop the PDF, click the page thumbnail (or type its number), choose Extract pages into one PDF, and click Split PDF. A one-page PDF downloads right away.
How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Keep every page except the ones to remove. To drop page 5 from a 12-page PDF, enter 1-4, 6- in extract mode.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. Encrypted files are rejected with a message. Remove the password first with the unlock tool, then split the file you get.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server to be split?
No. The split happens in your browser, so neither the document nor its pages are sent or stored. You can even go offline once the page has loaded.
Is there a size or page limit?
Files up to 300 MB are accepted. On a very large document the thumbnails load gradually (the first 400), but you can always type the ranges by hand.
