Extract a page range from a PDF into a new file — privately.
Processed locally — your file is never uploaded.
How do you split a PDF into separate pages?
To split a PDF, enter a page range and just those pages are copied, in order, into a new document. The range is parsed into a list of page numbers — out-of-range numbers are ignored and duplicates removed. From a 10-page PDF, the range 1-3, 5 produces a new 4-page document. Everything runs in your browser.
Understanding your result
Pages keep their original content and quality. Out-of-range numbers are ignored and duplicates are removed.
Formula and method
The page range is parsed into a list of page numbers, and just those pages are copied, in order, into a new PDF.
Assumptions and limitations
Password-protected (encrypted) PDFs may not open — remove the password first, then try again. Splitting extracts the page range exactly as-is; it does not re-flow, compress or re-order pages. Everything is processed in your browser, so very large files depend on your device's available memory.
Worked example
From a 10-page PDF, the range 1-3, 5 produces a new 4-page document.

- Choose a PDF file.
- Enter the pages to keep, e.g. 1-3, 5, 8.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write the range?
Use commas and hyphens, like 1-3, 5, 8. Leave it blank to keep every page.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Everything is processed locally in your browser.
What happens if I include a page number that does not exist?
Numbers outside the document's range are simply ignored, and any duplicate page numbers are removed automatically. This means a range that overshoots the last page will still produce a valid file containing only the pages that actually exist, in the order you listed them.
