PDF split tool - extract pages from PDF documents

Sometimes you only need specific pages from a larger document. Maybe you want one chapter from a book, a few sections from a contract, or you're removing pages with sensitive info before sharing. This tool pulls out exactly what you need.

Why split PDFs?

PDF documents often contain more than you need:

• Extract relevant sections from lengthy documents
• Create smaller PDFs with only necessary pages
• Share specific pages without sending the whole document
• Remove pages with confidential data before sharing

How it works

The tool uses WebAssembly to process PDFs in your browser. It parses the document structure, extracts the pages you specify, and builds new valid PDF files. Formatting, fonts, and images stay intact.

Page range syntax

Simple and flexible:

• 5 extracts only page 5
• 1-5 extracts pages 1 through 5
• 1-3, 7, 10-12 extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, and 12
• Mix single pages and ranges, separated by commas

Using the tool

1. Upload your PDF
2. Type the page ranges you want
3. Click Split
4. Download each extracted PDF

Common scenarios

Researchers pull chapters from papers. Lawyers isolate specific clauses from contracts. Accountants extract relevant statements. Students grab specific pages for assignments.

Privacy

All processing happens locally in your browser. Files never leave your device, nothing gets stored on a server, and the tool works offline once loaded.

Things to know

• Pages are numbered starting from 1
• Password-protected PDFs need to be decrypted first
• Large documents (hundreds of pages) take longer
