Pick pages by looking at them

Every page is rendered as a thumbnail you click to include or exclude. No counting page numbers in a separate viewer and hoping you got them right.

Four ways to split

Select individual pages, type a range like 1-3 and 8-10, break the document every N pages into several files, or explode it into one file per page.

Pages are copied, not re-rendered

The original page objects are transferred into the new document, so text stays selectable and images keep their full resolution.

FAQ

Questions about splitting PDFs

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied as complete objects into the new document rather than re-rendered, so text remains selectable and searchable and images keep their original resolution.

How do I extract just one page?

Choose the selected pages mode, click Clear in the toolbar to deselect everything, then click the single page you want and split. You will get a one-page PDF.

What does splitting every N pages do?

It breaks a long document into several files of equal length. Splitting a 100-page report every 10 pages produces ten separate PDFs, numbered in order.

Why do multiple files download one at a time?

Browsers deliberately throttle rapid consecutive downloads as a security measure, so files are released with a short pause between them. You may need to allow multiple downloads when prompted.

Can I reorder pages while splitting?

Not in this tool. Pages are always exported in their original order. To reorder, split out the sections you need and then recombine them in the order you want with the PDF merger.

Does it work on a protected PDF?

Documents restricted from printing or copying usually work. A file that requires a password to open must be unlocked first with the PDF unlocker.

Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is parsed and the new files are built entirely inside your browser, so nothing is transmitted.

Split a PDF and extract pages online, free

This tool lets you split a PDF online and extract exactly the pages you need. Every page is rendered as a thumbnail, so you select visually by clicking rather than counting page numbers in another viewer and hoping the range is right.

Four modes cover the situations that actually come up. Selected pages is for picking specific sheets out of a document. Page range accepts input like 1-3, 5, 8-10 when you already know the numbers. Split every N pages breaks a long report into equal chunks, producing several files at once. One file per page explodes the whole document, which is useful when each page needs to be handled separately.

Quality is not affected at any point. Pages are copied as intact objects into the new document rather than being re-rendered as images, so text stays selectable and searchable, embedded fonts are preserved, and images retain their original resolution. The output is a normal PDF in every respect.

The processing runs entirely in your browser. Splitting typically involves contracts, bank statements, medical records or scanned identity documents, so keeping the file on your own device is not a marginal detail. Nothing is uploaded, cached or logged.

Related tools include the PDF merger for combining documents, the PDF compressor for reducing file size, the PDF to Word converter for editing the content, and the PDF unlocker for password-protected files.
