Split PDF into pages

Extract Pages from a PDF Document

Sometimes you don't need the whole document — just a few pages from it. This tool lets you pull out individual pages or specific page ranges from any PDF and save them as separate files. The original formatting, images, and text stay exactly as they were.

Two Ways to Split

  • Every page as its own PDF — creates one PDF per page. Handy when you need to distribute pages individually, or when you want to reorganize a document by recombining pages in a different order using the merge tool.
  • Custom page ranges — specify exactly which pages you want. Use the format 1-3, 5, 8-10 to create three separate PDFs: one with pages 1–3, one with page 5 alone, and one with pages 8–10. You can define as many ranges as you need.

Practical Examples

  • Extracting a chapter — pull pages 15–30 from a textbook PDF to create a standalone chapter file.
  • Removing a cover page — extract pages 2 onward to skip a title page you don't need.
  • Isolating a form — grab just the one page with the form from a longer instruction packet.
  • Breaking up a scan — if you scanned multiple unrelated documents into one file, split them apart.
  • Sending partial documents — share only the relevant section of a report instead of the entire file.

What About the Output?

Each extracted range downloads as its own PDF file. If you extract multiple ranges at once, they're packaged together as a ZIP archive. Each file is a fully valid PDF — no dependencies on the original, no special viewer needed.

After splitting, you might want to compress the extracted pages to reduce their size, or crop away margins you no longer need. If you later need to recombine pages in a new order, use Merge PDF. You can also convert the extracted pages to images with PDF to JPG or PDF to PNG.
