About Split PDF
This tool extracts exactly the pages you want from a PDF using simple range notation such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. The selected pages are rebuilt into a brand-new PDF document in your browser within seconds.
It is ideal for pulling a chapter out of an ebook, separating an invoice from a bundle, or sharing only the relevant pages of a long report. Nothing is uploaded, so confidential documents stay on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I write a page range?
Use numbers and dashes separated by commas, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10 selects pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Reversed ranges like 5-3 are normalised automatically, and anything outside the document is rejected with a clear message.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Encrypted PDFs cannot be opened without their password. Unlock the file first, then extract the pages you need.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are rendered at high resolution and re-encoded at the quality you select, so the extracted pages look the same as in the original document.
