How to Split a PDF or Extract Pages (Free)

To split a PDF, use Split PDF: upload your file, enter the pages or ranges you want (like 1-3, 5, 8-10), and download them as a new PDF — free, no upload, no watermark. Here's when and how to split, plus how to recombine afterward.

Extract specific pages

The most common split is pulling a few pages out of a big document — one chapter, a single form, or the pages you actually need to send. Split PDF lets you specify exact pages and ranges, so a 200-page manual becomes the 4 pages you want.

Remove sensitive or blank pages

Splitting is also how you remove pages: keep everything except the pages with private data or blank scans. Select the ranges you want to keep and export — the unwanted pages are simply left out. Because it runs in your browser, confidential documents never leave your device.

Split, then merge in a new order

To reorder a document, split out the pages and recombine them in the sequence you want with Merge PDF. Together, split and merge cover almost all page-level PDF editing — see the full merge, split & convert guide.

Bottom line

Enter your page ranges in Split PDF and download. Need to shrink the result? See how to compress a PDF.
