How to use the split pdf
- Drop a PDF onto the upload area or click Choose file. The page count appears once it's read.
- Choose Extract pages and type the pages you want, such as 1-3, 5, 8-. Or choose Every page separately.
- Decide whether the selected ranges should become one PDF or one PDF per range.
- Click Extract pages and download the results.
Features
- Page ranges with commas, dashes and open ends (8- means 8 to the last page)
- One PDF per range, or all selected pages combined
- Every-page mode for splitting a document into single pages
- Zip download for multiple outputs
- Live validation of the range text against the real page count
Range syntax
The pages field accepts a comma-separated list where each part is a page or a range:
- 5 – just page 5
- 2-6 – pages 2 to 6 inclusive
- 8- – page 8 to the end; -3 means pages 1 to 3
- 1-3, 5, 8- – three parts, which become three PDFs unless Combine is on
What is preserved
Pages are copied out of the original without rasterising, so text stays selectable, vector graphics stay sharp and images keep their quality. Annotations and form fields attached to the extracted pages come along; document-level bookmarks don't, because they refer to page positions that no longer exist.
