Split & Extract PDF Pages

How to split or extract PDF pages

Drop a PDF in and its page count appears immediately. The Extract pages tab keeps only the pages you list — type 1-3, 5 and the result is a new PDF with pages 1, 2, 3, and 5 in that order. Tick "create one PDF per range" and each comma-separated part becomes its own document instead, so 1-3, 4-6 produces two files. The second tab, Split every N pages, cuts the document into equal chunks: set N to 1 to turn every page into a separate file, or to 10 to break a long report into ten-page sections.

Page ranges explained

A range is either a single page number or a start-end pair, separated by commas. Spaces are ignored, and the order you write them in is the order they appear in the output — 5, 1-2 gives you page 5 first. The parser validates every number against the document and tells you exactly which part it could not understand, rather than silently dropping pages or producing a file that will not open.

Splitting scans into single pages

Scanned bundles — a stack of receipts, a batch of signed forms — are the classic case for N = 1. Each page becomes an individual PDF, listed with its own download button and bundled into one ZIP so you can grab them all at once. Everything is copied locally and sequentially, so a 200-page scan does not need a 200-file upload queue; it needs only your device's memory. Scanned pages are also the ones that make a PDF heavy; why scanned PDFs compress differently explains what the PDF compressor can and can't shrink.

What splitting preserves

Pages are copied without re-rendering, so text remains selectable, images keep their original quality, and links between pages you kept still work. Document-level bookmarks and attachments are not carried into the new files, because each output is a new document. Once you have your pages, the merge tool can reassemble them, the rotator can straighten a sideways scan, and PDF to JPG turns any page into an image.
