Pull out just the pages you need
PDFs tend to arrive as bundles: a 40 page contract when you only need the signature page, a scanned bank statement where one month matters, a manual where the wiring diagram is the only page worth keeping. Splitting lets you send exactly the relevant pages instead of the whole document, which keeps attachments small and, just as importantly, avoids sharing pages the other person has no business seeing.
This tool works in two ways. Extract pages pulls a chosen set of pages into one new PDF. Split every page turns each page into its own single-page PDF and packs them all into a ZIP so they arrive as one tidy download. Either way, drop your PDF on the tool, and the page count appears before you choose.
How page ranges work
Type the pages you want using a dash for a run and commas for a list. So 3-7 extracts pages 3 to 7, 1,3,9 extracts those three pages, and you can mix the styles, like 1,3-5,9. Pages come out in the order you type them, and the tool checks every number against the document before the button will work, so a typo like page 25 of a 12 page file is flagged straight away.
Splitting every page into its own PDF
The second mode is for when every page needs to travel separately: a batch of scanned receipts that went through the scanner as one document, certificates that belong to different people, or single-page invoices that need filing against different records. Each page becomes its own PDF, numbered in order and named after the original file, for example scan-page-01.pdf through scan-page-24.pdf, so they sort correctly in any file manager.
The single-page files arrive together in one ZIP, built in your browser along with everything else. Pages are copied as complete objects rather than re-rendered, so nothing is recompressed and text stays selectable.
One thing to expect: a single extracted page can be slightly larger than the average, because each new PDF carries the fonts and images its page depends on. A page that shares a font with the rest of the document still needs its own copy once it stands alone.
Split in your browser, never uploaded
The big PDF sites split files by uploading them to a server, processing them there and handing back a link, which means your contract, payslip or medical letter spends time on somebody else's machine under somebody else's retention policy. Many also meter you with daily limits or push a subscription before the download appears.
Here the whole job, reading the PDF, copying the pages and even writing the ZIP file byte by byte, happens in JavaScript on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is logged, and closing the tab removes every trace. It works at the speed of your device rather than your connection, and once the page has loaded it works offline too. If you need the opposite job, putting documents together rather than taking them apart, the merge PDF tool is the same idea in reverse.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read, split and packaged entirely by JavaScript running on your own device, and the download comes straight from your browser's memory. Nothing travels over the internet, nothing is stored and closing the tab removes everything. That makes it safe for contracts, statements and scans of ID.
How do I write a page range?
Use a dash for a run of pages and commas for a list, so 3-7 gives you pages 3 to 7 and 1,3,9 gives you those three pages. You can mix the two, like 1,3-5,9. Pages come out in the order you type them, and anything outside the document's page count is flagged before you extract.
What does split every page give me?
One single-page PDF per page of your document, delivered together in a ZIP file. The files are numbered in order, for example report-page-01.pdf up to report-page-24.pdf, so they sort correctly in any file manager and you can send or archive exactly the pages you need.
Can I split a password protected PDF?
No. A password protected file cannot be read without its password, so the tool reports it by name instead of splitting it. Open the PDF in the app it came from, enter the password, save an unprotected copy and split that copy instead.
Do the extracted pages lose quality?
No. Pages are copied across as complete objects rather than being re-rendered, so text stays sharp and selectable and images keep their original compression. Each page carries the resources it needs, so a single extracted page is sometimes a little larger than you might expect.
