badloOnly need a few pages from a long document? Type the page numbers and get a new PDF with just those pages, or save every page as a separate file.
How to use the Split PDF
- Upload your PDF.
- Type the pages you want, such as 1-3, 7, or leave the box empty for every page.
- Download your new PDF, or a ZIP file of separate pages.
What to expect
Pick any pages
Use commas and dashes, such as 1-3, 7. Pages follow the order you type, so 5, 1 puts page 5 first.
Or every page
Leave the box empty and each page becomes its own PDF, and they download together in a ZIP file.
Your original stays the same
This makes new files. The PDF on your device isn't changed.
How to type page numbers
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| 4 | Page 4 only |
| 1-3 | Pages 1, 2 and 3 |
| 1-3, 7 | Pages 1, 2, 3 and 7 in one PDF |
| 7, 1-3 | The same pages, with page 7 first |
| Nothing | Every page as its own PDF, in a ZIP file |
When splitting a PDF helps
- Sending one chapter or one invoice instead of the whole file.
- Removing pages that shouldn't be shared. Type only the pages you want to keep.
- Getting under an upload limit by sending fewer pages.
- Separating a long scan into individual documents.
Other tools you may need
To join your new file with others, use Merge PDF. To make it lighter, use Compress PDF. If you need a page as a picture, use PDF to JPG.
If the page box shows an error
Use commas and dashes, such as 1-3, 7. Spaces don't matter, and each number must be a page in your file. A range must go from low to high, so 3-1 isn't accepted, though you can type 3, 2, 1 to reverse those pages.

Frequently asked questions
How do I extract pages from a PDF?
Upload the PDF, type the page numbers you want and press the button. A new PDF with only those pages downloads.
Can I save one page of a PDF?
Yes. Type that page's number, such as 4, and you get a one-page PDF.
Can I change the order of the pages?
Yes. Pages follow the order you type them in. A page typed twice is only included once.
Is my PDF stored?
Your files are only used for the conversion and are deleted from the server afterwards.
Does splitting work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. Pages are copied as they are, so it works on scans as well as digital PDFs.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password with the owner's permission first.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
When every page becomes its own PDF, they're packed into one ZIP file so you only have one download.
