How to split a PDF
- Select the PDF you want to split.
- Choose a mode: Extract pages, Split by ranges, Every page, Every N pages or Remove pages.
- Type the pages or ranges, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10.
- Click Split PDF and download the result. Several files can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
Five ways to split
| Mode | What you get | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Extract pages | One new PDF with the pages you list | Send only the signed page of a contract |
| Split by ranges | One PDF per range | Separate chapters, or one bank statement per month |
| Every page | One PDF per page, downloadable as a ZIP | Single invoices that were scanned as one file |
| Every N pages | Equal parts, for example every 2 pages | Double-sided forms, or big files for upload limits |
| Remove pages | A copy without the pages you list | Drop blank pages, cover sheets or adverts |
How to write page ranges
Use commas between items and a hyphen for ranges: 1-3, 5, 8-10. You can leave out the end of a range to mean “to the last page”, for example 8-. In Extract pages mode, the pages are added in the order you type them, so 3, 1, 2 reorders the pages as well.
Private by design
The PDF is opened and split by your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so splitting tax returns, medical letters or HR documents does not hand them to a third party. Pages are copied without re-compression, so the quality stays exactly the same as the original.

Frequently asked questions
How do I extract just one page from a PDF?
Choose Extract pages, type the page number (for example 4) and click Split PDF. You get a new PDF containing only that page.
How do I delete pages from a PDF?
Choose Remove pages and type the pages to delete, such as 2, 7-9. The tool saves a copy of the PDF without those pages; your original file is not changed.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
Can I split a PDF into separate files for every page?
Yes. Choose Every page. Each page becomes its own PDF, and you can download them all at once as a ZIP file.
