Extract only the PDF pages you need
Splitting a PDF creates a smaller document from selected pages while leaving the original file unchanged. It is ideal when a large report, handbook, or scan contains only a few pages that need to be shared.
How to use Split PDF
- Upload one PDF and check its page numbers.
- Enter individual pages or ranges, such as 1-3,5.
- Select Split PDF to download the extracted pages.
Common reasons to use it
- Separating a chapter from a long handbook
- Sending selected invoice or statement pages
- Creating a focused reading pack
Before you start
Decide whether you need one continuous range or several non-adjacent pages. The expression 2-4 selects pages two through four, while 2,4 selects only pages two and four. Count using the PDF viewer's page position, not a page number printed in a header or footer, because covers and introductory pages often make those two numbering systems different.
Quality and result checks
Extracted pages retain their original size and appearance, but document-wide features may no longer behave as expected. Bookmarks, table-of-contents links, cross-references, and forms can point to pages that are absent from the new file. Open the result, click important links, and verify that the selection includes enough context for the person receiving it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I select separate page ranges?
Yes. Combine ranges and individual pages with commas, for example 1-3,6,9-11.
Does splitting delete pages from my original?
No. It creates a new PDF from the selected pages and leaves the uploaded source unchanged.
Why do printed page numbers not match?
A cover or contents section may use different numbering. Use the page position displayed by your PDF reader when entering a range.
