How to split a PDF
- Choose your PDF — the tool reads how many pages it has.
- Enter the From and To page numbers you want to keep.
- Click Extract pages to download the new PDF.
Benefits
- Extracts a page or a page range into a new PDF.
- Runs in your browser, so sensitive documents stay private.
- No watermark, no sign-up.
- Free and unlimited.
Limitations to know
- It splits by page range, not by detecting chapters or content automatically.
- Large files are limited by your browser’s memory.
- It does not edit or re-compress the pages it extracts.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Entering the page range off by one — check the first and last page after.
- Trying to split a protected PDF without unlocking it first.
- Assuming the extract is smaller when the pages themselves are heavy.
Alternatives
To join PDFs back together use Merge PDF; to turn PDF pages into images use PDF to JPG.
