About this tool
Extract pages or split a PDF by page ranges.
How to use PDF Splitter
- Select a PDF and check the displayed page count. Page numbers start at 1.
- Choose Extract page ranges, Split every N pages or One file per page. For ranges, enter comma-separated pages or ranges and choose whether to create separate files.
- Click Split & download. If multiple files are created, allow multiple downloads when your browser asks, then check the exported PDFs.
Worked example
For a document with at least five pages, enter 1-3, 5 to extract the first three pages and page five. With Separate files enabled, this creates two PDFs; otherwise those four pages go into one PDF.
Split a PDF every 2 pages
Choose Split every N pages and enter 2. A seven-page document produces four downloads: pages 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 and page 7. Check the final short group when preparing paired handouts or scanned forms.
Can I split into equal-sized groups?
Choose Split every N pages and enter the number of pages per file. The final file contains the remaining pages if the total does not divide evenly.
Why did I receive only one download?
Without Separate files, range extraction creates a single PDF. Other modes can trigger several downloads, which your browser may block until you grant permission. The output is not a ZIP archive.
Does splitting remove pages from my original?
No. The tool creates new PDFs in your browser. Your original document remains unchanged; protected or unreadable PDFs may not open successfully.
