About this tool
From a fifty-page PDF you often need only a few pages: the signature page of a contract, one chapter of a handout, or individual scans to send to different people. This tool offers two modes - extract a page range, or split every page into a separate file - which between them cover almost every splitting job.
Page ranges accept commas and hyphens together, so 1-3,5,8-10 pulls those seven pages into a single new PDF. Choosing one file per page exports every page separately and bundles them into a ZIP. Thumbnails are generated after you add a file so you can confirm the page numbers first.
Features
- Two modes: extract a page range, or one PDF per page
- Ranges accept commas and hyphens, for example 1-3,5,8-10
- Automatic thumbnail previews so you can check content before splitting
- Per-page mode packs everything into a single ZIP download
How to use
- Drop or select the PDF you want to split
- Review the thumbnails to confirm the page count and positions
- Choose a mode: enter a page range, or switch to one file per page
- Click Extract pages or Split all pages - results download automatically
Frequently asked questions
- How do I split a PDF into individual pages?
- Choose the "Split every page" mode. Each page is exported as its own PDF and everything is packed into a single ZIP download, with file names numbered by page so you can distribute or archive them page by page.
- How do I extract only certain pages?
- Use the "Extract pages" mode and write a page range: commas separate groups and a hyphen marks consecutive pages, so 1-3,5,8-10 means pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Duplicates are removed automatically, and out-of-bounds or reversed ranges are rejected with a message.
- Do I need an account to extract PDF pages?
- No. Extracting pages, splitting every page and ZIP packing are all free with no usage limit, and the output carries no watermark. Everything runs locally - files are never uploaded.
- How do I unmerge a PDF I combined earlier?
- Drop the merged file in and pick a mode. "Extract pages" pulls out exact pages, while "Split every page" restores the document to one file per page. Combined with the PDF Merge tool you can reorganise documents freely.
- Will splitting modify my original file?
- No. The tool only reads the file you select and writes new PDFs. The original stays untouched, so you can try different splits as many times as you like.
- Can it split an encrypted PDF?
- The tool tries to read files while ignoring encryption flags, but a document with an open password still needs to be decrypted first. A parse error usually means the file itself is damaged.
