Three steps

  1. 1

    Add the PDF

    Drop the file you want to split.

  2. 2

    Choose how

    One file per page, or type ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 7-.

  3. 3

    Download

    Several files arrive together in a ZIP, named after their pages.

Writing page ranges

In Custom ranges mode, every part separated by a comma becomes its own PDF. "1-3, 5, 8-" gives three files: pages 1 to 3, page 5 alone, and page 8 to the last page. A part can mix ranges and single pages if you separate them with spaces, such as "1 3 5-6", which puts pages 1, 3, 5 and 6 into one file.

Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays searchable and nothing is re-compressed. Each file is named after the original and its pages, for example report-pages-1-3.pdf.

Tips

  • To extract a single page, choose Custom ranges and type just that page number.
  • Page numbers count from the first page of the file, not the numbers printed on the pages.
  • Need some pages back in one document? Merge the parts with Merge PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract only certain pages?

Yes. Choose Custom ranges and type the pages you want, for example 2-4. You get one PDF with just those pages.

What does 8- mean?

From page 8 to the last page of the document.

Will the split pages lose quality?

No. Pages are copied without re-compressing, so they look exactly like the original.

Why do I get a ZIP?

When the split produces more than one file, they are bundled into a ZIP so you can download them in one go. You can also download each file separately.
