Split a PDF and extract pages for free
This free Split PDF tool lets you pull specific pages out of a PDF or break a document into individual pages, entirely inside your browser. Open your file, and every page appears as a clickable thumbnail. Select the pages you want by tapping them, or type a range such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 in the box. Then export the selection as a single new PDF, or split every chosen page into its own file packaged as a ZIP.
All processing runs locally with JavaScript, so your document is never uploaded to a server. That makes it safe for contracts, ID scans, statements, and any confidential file. It works on desktop and mobile and keeps working offline after the page has loaded once.
How to split a PDF
Add your PDF, wait for the thumbnails to render, choose pages by clicking or by entering a range, and press Extract to download one combined PDF — or use Split each page to get every page as a separate file inside a ZIP archive.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF pages uploaded anywhere?
No. Thumbnails are rendered and pages extracted entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or shared.
How do I type a page range?
Use commas and hyphens, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10. The matching thumbnails are selected automatically, and you can fine-tune by clicking pages.
What is the difference between Extract and Split each page?
Extract puts all your selected pages into one new PDF. Split each page creates a separate one-page PDF for every selected page and downloads them together as a ZIP file.
Will the extracted pages keep their quality?
Yes. Pages are copied exactly, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution. Nothing is recompressed.
Why are very large PDFs slow?
Rendering thumbnails for many pages uses your device's memory and processor. On older phones a large document may take a few seconds; the extraction itself is fast.
