Split PDF Online
Split a PDF into separate pages or ranges.
What is the Split PDF?
Academic submissions or reference books can have hundreds of pages. Sharing a large PDF when only a few pages are needed is inefficient.
This PDF splitter allows you to extract specific page ranges or split a document into separate files. The extraction happens in your browser for absolute privacy.

- Select the PDF file you wish to split from your device.:
- Define the page ranges you want to extract (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10).:
- Choose whether to extract all pages as separate files or merge selected ranges.:
- Click 'Split PDF' and download the extracted PDF files.:

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Specifying page numbers that exceed the total page count of the document.
- Entering overlapping ranges in the extraction field unless explicitly intended.
💡 Pro Tips for Students
- Use commas to separate distinct page numbers (e.g., '1, 4, 7') and hyphens for continuous ranges (e.g., '10-15').
- Run the split output through our Compress PDF tool if the individual pages are still too large.
