Split PDF

Pull pages out of a PDF — never uploaded.

How it works

Three steps, and nothing leaves your device.

  1. 1

    Drop the PDF in

    It is read in the page, and its page count appears straight away.

  2. 2

    Choose the pages

    Either one file per page, or name the ranges you want — 1-3, 5, 8-10.

  3. 3

    Download the pieces

    One range comes back as a PDF; several come back as a zip.

Choosing pages, and what comes back

  • Each range becomes its own document. Asking for "1-3, 5" gives you two files: a three-page PDF and a one-page PDF. If you wanted a single five-page file instead, ask for "1-5" — the comma is what separates one output from the next.
  • Ranges are inclusive, and start at 1. "1-3" is pages one, two and three. Write "8-" with nothing after the dash to mean page 8 through to the end, which saves counting the tail of a long document.
  • Order is what you typed. Asking for "3, 1" produces the page-3 file first and the page-1 file second. The input is not sorted for you, because the order you wrote it in is usually deliberate.
  • Pages are copied, not re-rendered. Every extracted page keeps its own fonts, images and vector art, so the pieces stay selectable, searchable and exactly as sharp as the source. Nothing is turned into a picture.
  • Nothing is uploaded. The split happens in your browser, so a contract or a medical record never leaves your device. Password-protected PDFs cannot be read at all, and the tool will say so rather than fail quietly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get one file instead of several?

Name a single range. "1-5" produces one five-page PDF; "1-5, 7" produces two files, because each range becomes its own document.

What does "8-" mean?

Page 8 through to the last page. It saves you having to look up how many pages the document has.

Are the files uploaded?

No. The PDF is read and split on your device and never sent anywhere.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied whole rather than re-compressed, so text stays selectable and images are unchanged.
