When to Use This Tool
Extract specific pages from a PDF or divide a document into separate files. Processing happens in your browser — your files stay on your device.
Splitting a PDF is useful when you need to share only part of a document. Extract a single chapter from a long manual, pull out the signed pages from a contract, or separate individual invoices from a combined statement. The tool lets you select which pages to extract and creates a new PDF with just those pages.
You can split by page range (pages 1-5), extract individual pages (pages 1, 4, 7), or divide a document at specific break points. The extracted pages maintain the same quality, formatting, and interactivity as the original.
Typical scenarios include extracting one section from a government form, separating appendix pages from a report, pulling receipt pages from expense documentation, and dividing a scanned document that contains multiple unrelated items.

Things to Know
Interactive form fields in the extracted pages may lose their connection to the full document's calculation logic. Annotations and comments on extracted pages are preserved. Splitting a signed PDF may invalidate the digital signature on the extracted portion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the original PDF after splitting?
The original file is not modified. Splitting creates new separate PDF files from the pages you select. Your source document remains intact and unchanged on your device.
Can I split a PDF into more than two parts?
Yes. You can split a document into as many parts as you need. Define custom page ranges for each output file, extract specific pages individually, or set an automatic split interval (e.g., every 5 pages creates a new file).
Does splitting reduce PDF quality?
No. Splitting extracts pages from the original document without re-encoding or recompressing. Text stays selectable, images remain sharp, and all formatting is preserved exactly as in the source file.
Can I split an encrypted PDF?
Not directly. You must first unlock the PDF using our Unlock PDF tool, then split the decrypted file. Encrypted PDFs cannot be read or processed without removing the password protection first.
How do I extract just one page from a PDF?
Upload your file, select the specific page number you want to extract, and click Split. The tool will create a single-page PDF containing only that page. This is faster than splitting the entire document when you only need one page.
