Split a PDF and extract pages

Split a PDF by pulling out just the pages you need. Open the file, select the pages, and download them as a new PDF. You can also reorder, rotate, and delete pages in the same view. It all runs in your browser.

3. 3Use Download selected to save just those pages.
4. 4Repeat to create as many splits as you need.

When to use this tool

• You need just a few pages out of a long PDF, like one chapter from a report.
• A signed packet needs to be broken back into the individual forms it was assembled from.
• You want to send someone one section of a document without sharing the rest.
• A scanned batch has multiple documents in it and you need to separate them.
• A vendor sent one huge PDF and you only need to forward a couple of pages from it.
• You're archiving a long document by topic and need each section as its own file.

Tips for a better result

• Click through the thumbnails in order so you don't accidentally skip a page you meant to keep.
• Download each selection before starting your next one, since downloads happen one set at a time.
• Note the page numbers you plan to keep before you start, especially on long documents.
• Use Organize PDF instead if you also need to reorder or rotate pages while splitting.
• Name each exported file clearly, like the page range or topic, so you can find it again later.

Privacy: what happens to your file

This runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, which reads the pages and builds a new PDF from your selection. Your file is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored once you close the tab.
