PDF Split

Extract a page range from a PDF into a new file — privately.

Processed locally — your file is never uploaded.

Leave blank to keep all pages. Example: 1-3, 5, 8.

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.

Worked example
