Extract pages from PDF documents for free

What is PDF Split?

The PDF Split tool allows you to extract specific pages from any PDF document and save them as a new file, all within your browser without any server uploads. This is useful when you need to share only part of a document, extract a single chapter from a large report, or separate a multi-section PDF into individual files. Simply upload your PDF, select the pages you want to keep, and download the extracted result instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract non-consecutive pages?

Yes, you can select any combination of pages regardless of order. Simply click each page thumbnail you want to include. The extracted PDF will contain the selected pages in their original document order.

Does splitting reduce PDF quality?

No, splitting does not affect quality at all. Pages are copied directly from the original PDF without any re-encoding, compression, or modification. The extracted pages are identical to the originals.

Can I split a PDF into multiple separate files?

Currently the tool extracts selected pages into one new PDF. To create multiple separate files, run the extraction multiple times with different page selections each time.

Is there a page limit?

There is no hard page limit. The tool can handle PDFs with hundreds of pages. However, loading and displaying thumbnails for very large PDFs may take a moment depending on your device speed.

Can I split password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked before splitting. Remove the password protection first using a PDF unlock tool, then use this tool to split the pages.
