How this tool helps

Split a PDF into separate files or extract specific pages with visual precision. Upload your PDF and see thumbnail previews of every page. Click to select the pages you want to extract, or use range input (e.g., 1-3, 5, 8-12) for quick selection. Download individual pages or all selected pages as separate PDFs in a ZIP file. Ideal for extracting chapters from books, pulling specific pages from contracts, or breaking large documents into manageable sections. Every page preview is rendered in your browser, and the splitting process never sends your document to any server. Use it when you need to split for upload limits, split a PDF by file size (via page ranges), delete pages before splitting.

Intent guide

Reorder PDF pages is a common task with specific constraints: upload limits, mobile workflows, and privacy concerns. This guide is written for that intent and pairs directly with the tool above so you can act immediately.

Why splitting beats over-compressing for upload limits

If a portal has a strict file cap and your PDF contains scanned pages, pushing compression too far can make text hard to read. Splitting keeps page quality intact while producing smaller files that upload reliably. Use range syntax for precise chunks (for example, 1-5, 6-10) or export each page separately and choose exactly what you need.

Best workflow for forms, case files and evidence packs

Preview the page thumbnails first and decide whether you need one combined subset or one file per page. For evidence submissions, one-file-per-page often makes resubmission easier when a portal rejects a single page. If page order matters later, name files clearly or merge selected pages back together once the upload constraint is handled.

What to check before sending split files

Confirm the right pages are included, that file names are understandable, and that no sensitive pages were accidentally left in. If you split a document for a portal, keep the original file and your split outputs until the submission is accepted.

Before you upload/share

  • Review the output before sending or uploading.
  • Keep the original file until the recipient or portal accepts the document.
  • Use the related tools below if you need to merge, split or compress as a follow-up step.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move a single page to a different position?

Click and drag the page thumbnail to its new location. The page numbers update in real time.

Can I reverse the entire page order?

Yes. Use the Reverse Order button to flip the document — useful when double-sided scans come out in the wrong sequence.

Will links and bookmarks still work after reordering?

Page content including embedded links is preserved. Internal bookmarks that reference specific page numbers may point to different content after reordering.
