Split a PDF

Extract a page range builds one new PDF containing only the pages you name. Write them the way you would say them — 1-3, 7, 12-18 — and the pages come out in ascending order, each one a byte-for-byte copy of the original.

One file per page saves every page as its own PDF, numbered so they sort correctly in your file manager. They download one after another, so your browser may ask once for permission to save multiple files. There is no ZIP option deliberately: zipping in the browser means loading another library onto your device for a step your operating system already does well.

A scanned 300-page textbook where only unit 4 is in the syllabus. A combined question paper PDF where you want this year's paper on its own. A group report where you are responsible for pages 12 to 30 and the reviewer only wants your section. A single certificate buried in a merged bundle you have to attach to a form.

Splitting first also makes everything else faster — a 5-page extract opens instantly on a phone where the full scan would stall.

The page count you see, the page range you type and the files you get back are all produced inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is no upload wait, no queue, and no copy of your document sitting somewhere after you close the tab. It works with the network disconnected once the page has loaded.

Password-protected files cannot be opened here and will say so. Splitting does not shrink the pages you keep as much as you might expect: fonts and images shared across the document get copied into the extract too, so a 10-page slice of a 200-page scan is not always a twentieth of the size.
