What Split PDF does
Split PDF pulls specific pages out of a larger PDF and saves them as a new, separate file. Instead of sending someone an entire 40-page document when they only need pages 12 to 15, you extract exactly those pages and share just that.
Everything runs locally in your browser. The tool reads the page count from your file the moment you choose it, then builds the extracted file on your device without uploading the original anywhere.
How to split a PDF
- Choose a PDF file — the tool reads it and shows the total page count.
- Type the pages you want in the range field, for example
1-3,5,8-10to pull pages 1 through 3, page 5, and pages 8 through 10. - Select Extract pages to download a new PDF containing only those pages, in the order listed.
Reading the range syntax
A single number extracts one page; a hyphenated pair extracts an inclusive range; commas separate multiple entries. Page numbers outside the document's actual page count are ignored rather than causing an error, so it's safe to double-check the count shown after you choose the file.
Common uses
- Sharing a section — sending only the relevant clause from a long contract.
- Trimming scans — keeping the signed pages from a scanned form and dropping blank or cover pages.
- Submitting proof — extracting just the pages an application or claim form asks for.
