Split PDF
Sometimes you only need pages 2–4 of a statement or a single form from a long packet. This split tool extracts the pages you specify into a new PDF without uploading the original.

When to use this
- Sending only the relevant pages from a multi-page PDF
- Extracting a W-2 or summary page from a tax packet
- Removing blank or duplicate pages before sharing
Range syntax
For a 10-page file, `1-3` keeps the first three pages. `1,3,5-7` keeps pages 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 in that order.
Common mistakes
- Using 0-based page numbers (this tool uses human page numbers starting at 1)
- Extracting pages that still contain data you meant to redact
- Expecting OCR text layers to be edited—this copies pages as-is
How it works
We parse your range into page indexes, copy those pages into a new PDF document, and download split.pdf. Everything runs locally.
How to use
- Upload a PDF.
- Enter pages to keep (examples: 2 · 1-3 · 1,3,5-7).
- Download the new file.
FAQ
Can I extract non-contiguous pages?
Yes. Use commas and ranges, for example 1,3,5-7.
Does splitting reduce file size a lot?
It removes pages you don’t keep. Embedded fonts/images on remaining pages still affect size.
Is the original file changed?
No. You download a new PDF; the original on disk is untouched.
Are files uploaded?
No—processing is local in your browser.
