PDF Splitter

What this tool does

Extracts specific pages from a PDF into a new file. You type the pages you want in familiar notation like "1-3, 5, 8-9" and get back a document containing only those pages, while your original file is left completely untouched.

When to use it

• You need one chapter or section out of a long report or book.
• You want to send particular pages of a document without sharing the rest of it.
• A scan contains several consecutive documents and you want each one as its own file.
• You need a single page — a certificate or a receipt buried in a larger file.

How to use it

1. 1Drag one PDF onto the drop area or choose it — this tool handles one file at a time.
2. 2In "Pages to extract", type the range you want, for example 1-3, 5, 8-9 — or press "Select all" to take every page.
3. 3Click "Extract pages"; the new file is built and downloaded automatically.

A practical example

These are the pages' actual positions in the file, not the numbers printed on the page. In a document whose printed numbering starts after a 10-page front matter, the two will not line up.

Limitations

• At least one valid page number is required; an empty or malformed range is rejected with a message showing the expected format.
• Numbers beyond the document's page count are treated as invalid input.
• The result is one file containing all the requested ranges, not a separate file per range.
• Password-protected files need to be unlocked first.

Privacy and processing

Splitting happens inside your browser and your file is never uploaded. Your original document is never modified — the tool only ever creates a new file.

Technical notes

• Pages are copied with pdf-lib without re-encoding, so they keep their original quality and their selectable text.
• The field accepts single pages and ranges together on one line, separated by commas; spaces around the commas do not matter.
