Split PDF

Extracting just the pages you need

Sometimes you only need part of a PDF. A bank may ask for the last three months of a long statement, an employer may need one page of a certificate, or you may want to share a single chapter of a report rather than the whole thing. Splitting lets you pull out exactly those pages without printing and scanning, and without sending more information than necessary.

Type the pages you want using simple ranges. For example, 1-3, 5 extracts pages one to three and page five. You can leave out the end of a range, so 8- means page eight to the end. Then choose how the result should be saved: all selected pages together in one new PDF, one PDF for each range you entered, or every page as its own separate file. The last option is handy when a scanned bundle contains several documents that each need to be sent separately.

Splitting does not reduce quality. The pages are copied exactly as they are, including text, images and formatting, so the new files look identical to the original. Page numbers printed on the pages themselves will stay the same, which is worth remembering if the recipient expects the extract to start at page one. Check the page count in the original before entering ranges, since a scanned document may include blank pages or covers that shift the numbering. Everything runs in your browser and the file is never uploaded, so confidential statements and contracts stay private. Splitting is also a simple way to share only the relevant section of a document.
