Frequently Asked Questions

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Drop your PDF onto the tool, then choose the "Split into individual pages" tab and click Split All Pages. Each page downloads as a separate PDF file.
Can I extract just certain pages from a PDF?
Yes. Use the "Extract specific pages" tab and enter page numbers or ranges like 1, 3, 5-8, 12. Those pages are combined into one PDF.
How do I split a PDF in half?
Use the "Extract page range" tab. Enter page 1 to the midpoint for the first half, then repeat with the second half range.
What happens to the original PDF?
The original PDF is not changed. This tool only reads the file to extract the pages you request. Your original stays exactly as it is.
Can I split a large PDF?
Yes. There is no hard size limit. Very large PDFs may take a moment to load in your browser, but they will process correctly.

When and How to Split a PDF

Splitting a PDF extracts specific pages or ranges, creating a new file with only those pages. Common uses: sharing only relevant report sections, removing sensitive pages before sending, extracting chapters from a combined document, reducing file size by removing unused pages, and separating a combined scan into individual documents. Specify individual pages (1, 5, 9), sequential ranges (3 to 8), or multiple non-consecutive ranges (1-3, 7-10). The original PDF is unchanged - splitting creates new files from your selection. A 200-page scanned PDF where you need only pages 10-15 can be split to a 6-page file, dramatically reducing size for easier sharing. This tool processes files locally in your browser and never transmits PDFs to any server, making it suitable for sensitive legal, medical, and financial documents.
