How to split a PDF and extract pages
· 3 min read
Take the pages you need out of a PDF, or split every page into its own file, free and without uploading it.
Sometimes you need only part of a PDF: one chapter for a class, the signed page of a contract, or each payslip as its own file. Splitting gives you exactly those pages and leaves the original untouched.
Split a PDF
Which option do you need?
What do you want to end up with?
Pick Choose pages and type them, for example 2-4, 7. You get one PDF with just those pages.
Choose Every page. You get a ZIP with one PDF per page.
Use Organize PDF to drag pages into a new order or delete the ones you don’t need.
Split out the pages that are needed first, then run them through Compress PDF if it is still too big.
Splitting happens inside your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded.
Questions people ask
How do I type a page range?
Use commas and dashes: 1-3, 5, 8-10 takes pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10.
Does splitting change the original PDF?
No. You download new files and your original stays as it was.
