Split PDF · Extract Pages
Pick only the pages you need and save them as a new PDF. Your file is never uploaded.
0 B uploaded — this page has not sent your files anywhere?
Other conversion sites upload your file to a server, process it there, and say they delete it after a while. Until that happens, your file sits on someone else’s server. Here there is no upload step at all. The more sensitive the file — contracts, ID scans, medical records — the more that difference matters. See how to verify it →
Pull just the pages you need out of a long PDF
Often only a few pages of a long document need to be submitted or shared. Type the page numbers and this tool builds a new PDF containing only those pages, in the order you typed them. The original file is left as it was, and nothing is uploaded.
A closer look
When you open a file, the tool first reads the page count and shows it as “(30 pages total)”, and the input box is pre-filled with the whole range, for example “1-30”. Replace it with a list of pages separated by commas, using a hyphen for a run of consecutive pages. The order you type is the order you get: “5, 1-4” puts page 5 first, and writing a range from high to low, such as “10-1”, produces those pages in reverse. The extracted pages are copied straight from the original, so text selection, search and image resolution are exactly the same as before.
Each run produces one file. To split pages 1–10 and 11–20 into separate files, change the range and press the button a second time; there is no need to open the original again. Notes and comments attached to a page travel with that page, but the original’s bookmarks and document fields such as title and author do not carry over. Fonts and images shared by many pages are copied whole, so extracting three pages from a large file may not shrink it in proportion to the page count.
How to use it
- Drag a PDF onto the drop area or press Choose file. The page count and size appear next to the file name, for example “30 pages · 2.4 MB”.
- Clear the default in Pages to extract and type the pages you need, such as “1-3, 5, 8-10”. Spaces after commas are optional.
- Press Extract selected pages. A new file ending in “_extracted.pdf” downloads, and the message tells you how many pages were extracted and how large the result is.
- Need another section? Change the numbers in the box and press the button again.
When it helps
Common snags
Tip Type the page’s position in the file, not the number printed at the bottom of the page. Covers and tables of contents make those two differ in many documents, so check the position in your viewer first.
How to split a PDF
How do I write the page range?
Separate entries with commas. For example 1-3, 5, 8-10 extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10 in that order. Pages come out in the order you type them, so 5, 1 also lets you reorder as you extract.
Can I split one PDF into separate single-page files?
Right now the tool extracts your selection into one new PDF. To get several files, run it a few times with a different range each time.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The selected pages are copied over exactly as they are — text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
