Split PDF

Extract pages from a PDF or split it into separate files by page range. Private and free, right in your browser.

Your files never leave your device. Privacy

Need only page 3 of a long statement, or want to send each chapter of a report separately? Split PDF lets you pick exactly the pages you need and saves them as new files, without uploading the original anywhere.

How to use the Split PDF

  1. Add a PDF

    Drop one PDF into the box or tap to choose it. You will see how many pages it has.

  2. Choose pages and mode

    Type pages like 1-3, 5, 8-end, then choose to extract them into one PDF, make one PDF per range, or split every page.

  3. Download

    Single results download as a PDF. Several files download together as a ZIP.

Features

  • Three split modes

    Extract pages into one file, one file per range, or every page as its own PDF.

  • Flexible page ranges

    Mix single pages and ranges, and use “end” for the last page.

  • Clear error messages

    Typos in page ranges and out of range numbers are pointed out before anything is saved.

  • Original quality

    Pages are copied exactly, so text stays sharp and searchable.

  • ZIP download

    When the result is several files, they arrive together in one ZIP.

  • No upload

    Your PDF is processed in your browser and never leaves your device.

When to use it

Sharing one page

Send only the relevant page of a bank statement or contract instead of the whole document.

Removing pages

Extract every page except the ones you do not want, for example 1-4, 6-end to drop page 5.

Breaking up big files

Split a large PDF into parts that fit under an email or upload limit.

Chapters and sections

Turn a long report or ebook you own into separate files per chapter.

How to write page ranges

Separate items with commas. A single number like 5 is one page. A range like 2-6 includes both ends. 8-end runs from page 8 to the last page. Spaces are ignored, so 1 – 3, 7 works too.

Extract or split: what is the difference?

Extract pages puts everything you typed into one new PDF, in that order. One PDF per range makes a separate file for each item you typed. Every page separately ignores the box and saves each page as its own file.

Common page range mistakes

Page numbers here are the position of the page in the file, which is not always the number printed on the page. A report with a cover and a contents page may print “1” on what is really page 3. Check the page count shown at the top and count from the first page of the file.

Ranges that overlap are allowed, so 1-3, 3-5 includes page 3 twice when extracting. That is useful for repeating a cover page, but remove the overlap if you did not mean it. Numbers bigger than the page count are rejected with a message rather than silently ignored.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract one page from a PDF?

Add the PDF, type the page number in the Pages box, keep the mode on Extract pages and press Split and download.

How do I remove a page from a PDF?

Extract all the pages except that one. For example, to remove page 4 from a 10 page file, type 1-3, 5-10.

Is there a page limit?

There is no fixed limit. Very large PDFs depend on your device memory, so a phone may be slower than a computer.

Will the split pages lose quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are, keeping text searchable and images at full quality.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Splitting happens inside your browser, so your document stays on your device.

Can I split a PDF on my phone?

Yes. Choose the file, type your pages and download. Several files arrive as a ZIP that your phone can open.
