Two ways to split a PDF

Extract pages keeps everything in a single output file. Type the pages you want using commas and hyphens - 1-3, 5, 8-10 pulls pages one to three, page five, and pages eight to ten into one new PDF, in exactly that order. It is the fast way to lift a chapter, a signed page or a single form out of a long document.

Split every page is the bulk option. It turns each page into its own PDF and packages the lot into a ZIP file, so a 12-page document becomes page-1.pdf through page-12.pdf. Handy when you need to send pages to different people or file them separately.

How page ranges are read

  • 5 - just page five
  • 2-6 - pages two, three, four, five and six
  • 1, 4, 9 - three individual pages
  • 10-7 - pages ten down to seven, in reverse

Anything outside the document's page count is rejected with a clear message, so you cannot accidentally ask for page 50 of a 12-page file. Spaces are ignored, so format the list however reads best to you.

When to use each mode

Reach for Extract pages when you know exactly which pages you want as a single document - lifting a boarding pass out of a travel itinerary, or pulling the three relevant pages from a forty-page manual to send a colleague. Reach for Split every page when you need each page as its own file, for example separating a batch of scanned invoices so each can be filed or forwarded on its own. The ZIP keeps them numbered and in order so nothing gets muddled.

Private by design

The split happens using pdf-lib inside this page. Your file is read into memory, sliced, and written back out as a download without ever touching a server. Once you close the tab, nothing remains. If you need to put pages back together afterwards, use Merge PDF; to drop unwanted pages instead of extracting good ones, try Delete PDF Pages. To turn the extracted pages into images, pass the result through PDF to JPG.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
Choose "Extract pages", then type the pages you want, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. The tool builds a single new PDF containing only those pages, in the order you listed them.
Can I split a PDF into one file per page?
Yes. Choose "Split every page" and the tool creates one PDF for each page and bundles them into a single ZIP download, named page-1.pdf, page-2.pdf and so on.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Splitting runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your PDF is never sent to a server, so it is safe for private or sensitive documents.
What page numbers can I use in a range?
Any number from 1 up to the total page count shown after you load the file. You can mix single pages and ranges separated by commas, and reversed ranges like 9-5 are read in that order.
