Split PDF: Extract Pages or Cut a PDF into Parts
Need only a few pages from a long PDF, or each page as its own file? This free tool does it in your browser. Pages are copied exactly, so quality does not change, and your file is never uploaded.
How to split a PDF
- Choose your PDF.
- Type the pages you need, for example 1-3, 5 for pages 1 to 3 plus page 5.
- Download the result.
Three ways to split
- Extract pages: keep only certain pages by typing numbers or ranges.
- Page ranges: use commas to combine ranges, such as 1-3, 5.
- Every page: choose "Every page" and each page is saved as its own PDF inside a ZIP file.
Common uses
