PDF Splitter
Extract specific pages from a PDF. No upload, 100% private – all processing happens in your browser.
What is a PDF splitter and why use it?
A PDF splitter allows you to extract specific pages from a PDF document to create new files. This is incredibly useful when you only need part of a large document – like a single chapter from a book, a few pages from a report, or specific invoices from a batch.
Common use cases
- Extracting chapters: Pull individual chapters from an e‑book or manual.
- Sharing partial documents: Send only the relevant pages of a contract or report.
- Creating new documents: Build a new PDF from selected pages of existing files.
- Removing unwanted pages: Split out pages you don't need and keep only what matters.
How to use this tool
Choose between two modes:
- Page ranges: Enter ranges like "1-5, 7-9" to extract those pages.
- Select pages: Enter individual page numbers like "1,3,5".
Check "Merge all extracted pages into one PDF" to get a single file, or leave unchecked to download each range/page as a separate PDF inside a ZIP archive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I specify pages to extract?
In "Page ranges" mode, use hyphens for ranges (e.g., 1-5) and commas to separate multiple ranges (e.g., 1-3, 7, 10-12). In "Select pages" mode, enter a comma‑separated list of individual page numbers.
Can I get one PDF with all extracted pages?
Yes. Check the "Merge all extracted pages into one PDF" option. If unchecked, each range/page becomes a separate PDF file (downloaded as a ZIP).
Are my files uploaded?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
Is there a limit on file size?
There's no hard limit, but very large files may take longer to process. The tool is optimized for typical PDFs (up to 50 MB).
