What this tool does

Split a PDF into separate pages or extract a specific range. Pick individual pages or ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 and download the result.

This online PDF splitter can extract chosen pages, interpret ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10, or separate every page. It creates new PDFs without flattening the original document content.

Key features

  • Two modes: extract a custom range (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10) or burst every page into its own PDF
  • Friendly validation — out-of-range or malformed ranges are flagged before processing starts
  • Lossless page copy via pdf-lib: text stays selectable, fonts and links are preserved
  • Single-page bursts arrive as a ZIP so you don't have to manage dozens of downloads
  • Runs entirely in this browser tab — your PDF is never uploaded to a server

Common use cases

  • Pulling a single signed page out of a long contract to send back
  • Splitting a multi-invoice statement into one PDF per invoice
  • Extracting a chapter or appendix from a textbook scan
  • Breaking a long meeting deck into per-section handouts

Things to know

  • Page numbers outside the document are rejected before splitting begins
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked in a viewer first
  • Output is downloaded once and not retained after you close the tab
Privacy & local processing
The PDF is opened and split on your device. Neither the source file nor the extracted pages are uploaded to WebToolsLabs.
