Drag PDF here, or click to upload

PDF Split extracts specific pages from a complete PDF document and creates a smaller, standalone PDF file. In many situations, you only need a particular section of a large document — a chapter of a report, specific clause pages from a contract, or a few pages from a scanned document — without sending the entire file. PDF Split makes this straightforward.

This tool uses the PDF-lib library. All processing happens locally in your browser — files are never uploaded to any server. The extracted pages preserve all original fonts, images, and layout formatting.

Key Features

Common Use Cases

Law firms work with case documents that can run dozens or hundreds of pages. Sometimes only a few specific clause pages need to be sent to a client — PDF Split quickly extracts them. Academic researchers download paper PDFs that contain multiple articles; splitting separates them for easier organization. Multifunction printers sometimes scan multiple documents into one large PDF — splitting separates them back out. Textbook PDFs are typically full volumes; teachers or readers can extract specific chapters to share or study. Corporate reports and annual statements are complete documents — analysts use PDF Split to extract relevant financial sections.

How to Use

  1. Upload the PDF you want to split
  2. Check the page count and decide which pages to extract
  3. Enter the page numbers to extract (e.g., 1,3,5 or 2-7 for a range)
  4. Click Split and download the new PDF containing your selected pages
