About the Split PDF

Pulls selected pages out of a PDF into a new file. Enter pages and ranges the way you would in a print dialog - for example “1-3, 5, 8-” - and the counter shows exactly how many pages you are keeping before you download.

How to split a PDF

Choose the PDF and type the pages you want to keep, the way you would in a print dialog: 1-3, 5, 8- means pages one to three, page five, and page eight to the end. Download a new PDF containing just those pages; the original is not changed. Pages are copied, not re-printed, so text stays sharp and selectable.

Common uses

  • Send one invoice or one chapter instead of the whole document.
  • Pull the signed page out of a contract.
  • Remove cover pages or blank pages - or see them all at once with Organize PDF.
  • Split a large scan into parts small enough to upload, then rejoin later with Merge PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF without uploading it?+

Open the PDF here, type the pages or ranges you want (for example 1-3, 8) and download the new file. The splitting happens in your browser, so the document is never sent to a server.

How do I say which pages to keep?+

The same way you would in a print dialog: commas and ranges, such as 1-3, 5, 8-. Leaving the end of a range open means "to the last page".

Does it change the original file?+

No. It builds a new PDF from the pages you picked; the file on your computer is untouched.

Will it open a password-protected PDF?+

Files that are only owner-password protected usually open fine. One that needs a password to view will not - remove the password first.
