Split PDF lets you break a PDF into the parts you actually need. Upload a PDF and either extract a specific range of pages into a new file — for example just pages 3 to 7 — or split the whole document into single-page PDFs downloaded together as a ZIP.
It is the quickest way to pull one section out of a long report, share only the pages that matter, or separate a scanned batch into individual documents. Every page is shown as a thumbnail so you can pick pages visually, and everything runs in your browser, so your PDF is never uploaded to a server.
How to split a PDF
- Upload your PDF — every page is shown as a thumbnail with its page number.
- Choose a mode: “Extract pages” to pull out specific pages, or “Split into single pages” for one file per page.
- For extract, click the page thumbnails to select them, or type ranges like “1-3, 5, 8-10” — the two stay in sync.
- Click the button to download your extracted PDF, or a ZIP of single-page PDFs.
Extract pages vs split into single pages
“Extract pages” builds one new PDF containing exactly the pages you list, in the order you list them — ideal for keeping a chapter, removing unwanted pages (by listing only the ones to keep), or reordering a few pages. “Split into single pages” turns every page into its own PDF and packages them all into a single ZIP download, which is handy when each page needs to become a separate document.
How to write a page selection
In extract mode, separate individual pages and ranges with commas. For example, “1-3, 5, 8-10” keeps pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10. Pages are added in the order you write them, so you can also use this to reorder — “3, 1, 2” puts page 3 first. Any numbers outside the document’s page count are ignored.
Private by design
The split happens entirely in your browser — the PDF is read from your device and processed locally, so confidential documents never leave your computer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract certain pages from a PDF?
Choose “Extract pages”, then type the pages you want — for example “1-3, 5, 8-10”. The tool builds a single new PDF with just those pages, in the order you listed them.
Can I split a PDF into separate one-page files?
Yes. Choose “Split into single pages” and the tool turns every page into its own PDF, then downloads them all together in a ZIP file.
Can I use this to delete or remove pages?
Yes — in extract mode, simply list only the pages you want to keep. The pages you leave out will not be in the new PDF.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting is done entirely in your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device.
Why won’t my PDF load?
It is usually password-protected or corrupted. Remove the password (open and re-save it without protection) and try again.
