PDF Splitter
Pick pages from a PDF and pull them out as a new file.
Click to choose a PDF or drag and drop
Select which pages to keep from a PDF — by clicking thumbnails or typing a page range — and download them as one new PDF or as separate single-page files. Pages are copied directly, not rasterized, so text stays selectable.
How to split a PDF
- Open your PDF. Thumbnails of every page appear so you can see what you're picking.
- Choose the pages. Click thumbnails to select them, or type a range such as
1-3,5,8-10and click Apply. - Download. Save the selected pages as one new PDF, or as separate single-page files.
Page range examples
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
1-3 | Pages 1, 2 and 3 |
2,5,9 | Pages 2, 5 and 9 only |
1-3,5,8-10 | Pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10 |
One file or separate files?
Download selected as one PDF keeps the pages you picked together in a single, smaller document — handy for sending just the signature page and the summary from a long contract. Download each as separate PDF gives you one file per page, which is useful when a form or portal asks you to upload each page on its own.
Common reasons to split a PDF
- Send only the pages someone needs, instead of a 60-page document.
- Remove blank or duplicate pages from a scan.
- Pull one statement or invoice out of a combined download.
- Get under an upload size limit by sending fewer pages.
Because pages are copied as they are, not turned into images, text stays sharp and searchable. To put pages from different files back together, use the PDF Merger.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No — the PDF is read and split entirely inside your browser. It's never sent to a server.
Does splitting keep text selectable and quality unchanged?
Yes — pages are copied directly at the PDF-structure level, not rasterized into images, so text stays selectable and quality is untouched.
How do I pick specific pages?
Type a page range like "1-3,5,8-10" and click Apply, or just click individual page thumbnails to toggle them.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No — a locked PDF can't be read until it's unlocked. Open it in a PDF reader with the password, save an unlocked copy, and split that.
Will the original PDF be changed?
No. The original file on your device is never modified. The splitter creates a new PDF containing only the pages you chose.
Can I change the order of the pages?
Selected pages are saved in their original order. To rearrange them, download them as separate files and combine them in the order you want with the PDF Merger.
