Split PDF

Delete the pages you don't want from a PDF, or extract just the ones you do. Name a range to keep, burst the file into single pages, and download: all in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Private by design: This tool splits documents locally using an in-browser PDF library. Your files are not uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored or logged. See how in-browser processing works.

How to delete or extract PDF pages

Drop a PDF onto the upload area.
Choose “Extract pages” and type a range like 1-3, 5, or switch to “Every page as its own PDF”.
Click Split PDF.
Download the extracted PDF, or all per-page files as a ZIP.

Deleting pages from a PDF

A PDF has no delete button, but extraction gets you there in one step: name every page except the ones you want gone. To drop page 4 of a 10-page file, extract 1-3, 5-10 and the result is your document without page 4. To remove a cover sheet, extract 2-10. To cut the last three pages of a 20-page report, extract 1-17.

The page you keep is copied exactly as it was, so deleting a page never re-compresses the rest or changes how the document looks. The original file on your computer isn't touched either: you get a new PDF and decide what to do with it. How to delete pages from a PDF has more recipes, including removing every other page.

Extract exactly the pages you name

The range field speaks plain page-talk: 5 takes one page, 2-6 takes a run, and 1-3, 8, 11-12 mixes both: commas between parts, dashes for ranges. Out-of-range or backwards entries get a clear error naming the problem, not a silent failure.

Every page as its own file

Switch to "Every page as its own PDF" to burst a document into single-page files, handy for distributing one page per person, filing scanned receipts separately, or feeding systems that want one page per upload. The ZIP download keeps a big burst manageable.

Good to know

Ranges accept commas and dashes: 1-3, 5, 8-10 picks pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10.
Extracted pages are copied without re-compression, layout and quality are untouched.
The original file isn't modified; you always get new PDFs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove pages from a PDF?

Extract the pages you want to keep. For example, to drop page 4 of a 10-page document, extract 1-3, 5-10: the result is your PDF without page 4.

Can I split a PDF into individual pages?

Yes, choose “Every page as its own PDF” and each page is saved as a separate file, ready to download individually or as a ZIP.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser: your document never leaves your device.

Can I reorder pages with this tool?

Not directly, but split the document into its pages, then use Merge PDF to reassemble them in any order. The two tools together are a full page editor.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No, pages are copied exactly, text stays selectable, and nothing is re-encoded.

I need one page as an image, not a PDF.

Use PDF to JPG instead, it renders pages as images at your chosen resolution.

How do I extract pages from a PDF?

Type the page numbers or ranges you want to keep, such as 2-4, 7, and download. The tool works as a PDF page extractor: the pages you name are copied into a new file exactly as they are, and the original is untouched.

How to Delete or Remove Pages from a PDFPDFs don't have a delete key, but they don't need one. Whether you'd call it deleting, removing, cutting out or taking out pages, the move is the same: name the pages you want to keep, and what's left behind is gone. Here are the recipes.
How to Compress a PDF to 100 KB, 200 KB, or 1 MBUpload forms don't negotiate: under the limit or rejected. Here's what each size target realistically takes, and the honest truth about when a target isn't reachable.
How to Merge PDF Files (and Keep Them in Order)One attachment beats five. Merging PDFs takes under a minute. The part worth thinking about is order, and what to do when the combined file gets big.
How to Get a PDF Under an Email Attachment LimitYour email bounced, the file is 24 MB, and the limit says 25 MB. That isn't a mistake: attachments get bigger in transit, and almost nobody tells you by how much. Here's the real number to aim for, and what each provider actually allows.
Why Is My PDF So Large?Twenty-two pages of plain text, and the file is 24 MB. Nothing on the page explains it. There is one test that identifies the cause in about ten seconds, and for most oversized PDFs the answer is the same.
