Split a PDF
Pull out the pages you need, or break one document into several files. Quality is untouched, and nothing is uploaded.
Which method you want
| You want | Method | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Only pages 1 to 3 of a contract | Extract pages | 1-3 |
| The cover and the last page | Extract pages | 1, 24 |
| Everything except the appendix | Extract pages | 1-18 |
| Every page as its own file | Split into files | 1 per file |
| A 40-page book in 10-page parts | Split into files | 10 per file |
Ranges can be listed in any combination — 1-3, 7, 10-12 is valid — and pages come out in the order you type them, so 5, 1 genuinely puts page 5 first.
Splitting keeps quality intact
Unlike compression, splitting is lossless. The pages you extract are the original page objects copied into a new document, so text remains selectable and searchable, images keep their full resolution, and nothing is re-encoded.
One consequence worth knowing: an extracted page is not necessarily small. If page 3 of your document contains a full-page scan, extracting it alone still carries that scan's weight. To make it smaller, compress the extracted file afterwards.
Common questions
How do I extract just a few pages?
Choose Extract pages and type the ones you want, such as 1-3, 7, 10-12. The result is a single PDF containing exactly those pages, in that order.
Can I split a PDF into single pages?
Yes. Choose Split into files and set pages per file to 1. You get one file per page, each with its own download button.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Splitting copies page objects rather than re-encoding them, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution. Nothing is degraded.
Why do I get download buttons instead of a ZIP?
Building a ZIP would mean loading another library for something most people do not need. Individual buttons also let you take only the pieces you actually want.
Is the document uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
