Security & privacy detailsHow 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I extract specific page ranges?
Yes. You can click individual page thumbnails to select them, or type ranges like '1-5, 8, 12-15' to quickly select multiple pages. Selected pages are highlighted visually.
Will each page become a separate PDF?
You choose: extract all selected pages into a single new PDF, or split each page into its own separate PDF file (downloaded as a ZIP).
Does splitting preserve the original formatting?
Yes. Each extracted page is an exact copy of the original, with all text, images, fonts, and layouts preserved.
Can I split a very large PDF?
Yes. PDFs up to 100MB work well in most browsers. For very large files, rendering thumbnails may take a moment, but the split operation itself is fast.
Is there a page limit?
Free users can split PDFs up to 50 pages. Pro users have no page limit.
