PDF Splitter
Extract exactly the pages you need from any PDF using flexible range syntax — specify individual pages (3, 7), continuous ranges (1-5), or mixed combinations (1-3, 8, 12-15) and download them as separate PDF files. This is indispensable when you need to share only the relevant section of a large report, isolate signature pages from a contract, or break a textbook chapter into individual lecture handouts. The splitter preserves all original formatting including embedded fonts, vector illustrations, and interactive form fields within the extracted pages. Processing runs on secure ephemeral infrastructure with immediate file purging after download, supporting documents up to 50 MB for free users.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I specify ranges?
Enter comma-separated page numbers or ranges, such as "1-4, 7, 10-12".
Can I extract a single page from a 100-page PDF?
Yes. Enter just the page number (e.g., "42") and the tool will produce a single-page PDF containing only that page.
Does splitting change the quality of the pages?
No. Splitting extracts pages exactly as they exist in the original PDF. No re-rendering or compression is applied during the split.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are split page-by-page just like native PDFs. Each output page retains the original scan resolution and quality.
What happens to bookmarks when I split a PDF?
Bookmarks that point to pages within the extracted range are preserved. Bookmarks pointing to excluded pages are removed from the output.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
Extract Specific Chapters
Use range syntax like "1-15, 45-60" to extract only the chapters you need from a textbook or manual without processing unnecessary pages.
Split for Sharing
Extract only the relevant pages before sharing confidential documents. This ensures recipients see only what they need.
Create Page-Per-File Archives
