Split PDF & Extract Pages

How to split a PDF

1. Tap Choose a PDF file. The total number of pages appears once it's open.
2. Pick a splitting method.
   • Extract a page range: creates one PDF with just the pages you list. 1-3,5 means pages 1, 2, 3 and 5; 8- means page 8 to the end; -2 means pages 1 and 2. Type 3,1,2 and the pages are saved in that order – a quick way to reorder pages.
   • Every page: turns each page into a one-page PDF and bundles them in a single ZIP (the page number is added to each file name).
   • Every N pages: enter 2 and you get pages 1–2, 3–4 and so on. The last file holds whatever pages are left.
3. Tap Split PDF and download the result. On a phone, where ZIP files can be awkward, use the buttons below to save each file individually.

When to split or extract pages

• Send only the pages that were asked for: a landlord or lender may want just the summary page of a 12-page bank statement, or the signature page of a contract. Extract it rather than sharing your full account history.
• Get under an upload limit: government, visa and university portals often cap the size of each file. Split a large scan every N pages and upload the parts one at a time.
• Separate a batch scan: if you scanned a stack of invoices or receipts in one go, split every page into its own file for bookkeeping. To save pages as pictures instead, use PDF to JPG.
• Remove a page: list the pages you want to keep and leave out the one you don't.

Good to know

• No quality loss: pages are copied, not converted to images, so text stays sharp and searchable – exactly as in the original.
• File size: on a phone, files under about 100 MB work best. When you split every page, shared fonts are stored in each file, so the parts together can be larger than the original.
• Password-protected (encrypted) PDFs can't be opened. Remove the password in your PDF viewer and save a new copy first.
• Fillable form fields and digital signatures may not work in the new files, and bookmarks are not carried over.
• This tool doesn't compress PDFs. If a portal's size limit is the issue, splitting into smaller parts is the reliable route.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your file is never sent to a server; it is processed only inside your browser, and the new files are created on your device.

Does it change my original file?

No. The original stays untouched and a new file is created. An extracted PDF is named "original-name_extracted.pdf".

How do I delete one page from a PDF?

Enter the pages you want to keep. To drop page 4 from a 10-page PDF, type 1-3,5-.
