How to split a PDF

STEP 1

Add your PDF

Drop it on the box above and the page count appears underneath.

STEP 2

Say which pages

Type them as 1-3, 7, 10-12, or switch to splitting every page into its own file.

STEP 3

Save what you need

Each result is listed separately so you can save just the ones you want.

Pages, not screenshots

It is tempting to screenshot the page you need and send that instead. Don't, a screenshot loses the selectable text, prints badly, and is obviously a screenshot to whoever receives it.

Splitting keeps the real page: same text, same quality, same size on paper. What comes out is a proper PDF, just a shorter one.

A common use is sending one page of a bank statement or one clause of a contract without handing over the whole document. Taking the page out here means the rest of it was never sent anywhere either.

Questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The work happens inside this tab, on your own machine. Open your browser's network tab while you use the tool, there is no request carrying your file.

Is there a file size limit?

Practical limits depend on the tool, browser and available device memory. Large files can fail even when no explicit limit is shown. Keep an original and use a smaller job if this device cannot finish it.

Do I need an account?

No, and there is no daily limit either. There is nothing to sign up for.

Can I reorder the pages too?

Rotate and reorder shows page thumbnails and earlier/later arrows; it does not support dragging.

What if I type a page that does not exist?

It is ignored rather than failing, and the count under the file tells you how many pages you are actually keeping.

Two ways to split a document

The first way keeps the pages you choose as one new PDF. Type page numbers and ranges such as 1-3, 7, 10-12, or click the thumbnails, and use All or None to start from a clean slate. Numbering starts at 1 and each page is used once, even if you list it twice. Numbers that are not in the document are ignored, and you are told if none are left.

The second way saves every page as its own PDF. The pages are copied rather than redrawn, so text stays selectable and the pages keep their original size and quality.

Finding the right page numbers

The number printed on a page is often not its position in the file, because a cover, contents and front matter come first. Use the thumbnails to find the page you want and read its position from them, rather than trusting the printed number.

Splitting into single pages saves the files one at a time rather than in a zip, so your browser may ask you to allow several downloads. For a long document, it is usually quicker to keep a range or two than to split it into every page.
