Split a PDF, page by page.
See every page as a real thumbnail, click the ones you need — or type a range — and pull them out into a brand-new PDF.
Visual page picker
Every page renders as a real thumbnail — click to select instead of guessing page numbers.
Ranges or clicks, your call
Type something like 1-3,5,7-9, or just click pages in the grid — both stay in sync.
Odd/even shortcuts
Pull out every odd or even page in one click — handy for double-sided scans.
Stays on your device
Your PDF is processed locally in your browser. We never upload or store your documents.
Genuinely free
No signup, no watermark, no subscription — extract as many pages as you need.
Original quality kept
Extracted pages keep their original text, images and formatting exactly as they were.
Split PDF: pull out exactly the pages you need
Not every page of a PDF is worth keeping — maybe you only need the signature page from a 40-page contract, or a single chapter from a scanned book. Our Split PDF tool shows you every page as a real thumbnail so you can pick precisely what you want, instead of guessing page numbers blind, and pulls just those pages into a fresh, smaller PDF.
Two ways to choose your pages
- Click the thumbnails — every page in the grid is a real preview; click to select or deselect it, and the page-range box updates automatically.
- Type a range — prefer typing? Enter something like
1-3,5,7-9 and the matching thumbnails highlight instantly, so you can double-check before extracting.
- Quick shortcuts — grab every page, clear your picks, or jump straight to odd/even pages with one click.
Where splitting a PDF helps
ContractsPull out just the signature page or one clause to send separately.
Study materialExtract a single chapter from a large scanned textbook.
Double-sided scansUse the odd/even shortcut to separate front and back scanned pages.
Big reportsShare only the relevant section of a long report instead of the whole file.
How to split a PDF online

Tips for a clean split
- Use "Odd pages" or "Even pages" right after scanning a double-sided document.
- Not sure of page numbers? Click through the thumbnails instead of typing a range.
- You can mix ranges and single pages freely, like
1-2,6,10-12.
- Need the opposite pages instead? Use "Select all", then click the ones you don't want to remove them from the selection.
Why this splitter is different
- 100% free — no hidden costs, no watermark on the extracted file.
- Client-side processing — your PDF never leaves your device, so nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
- Visual, not guesswork — real page thumbnails instead of a blind page-number field.
- No signup, no install — open the page and go.
- Quality preserved — extracted pages keep their original text, images and formatting.
Frequently asked questions
What does "split PDF" mean?It means pulling specific pages out of a larger PDF and saving them as a new, separate document.
How do I select which pages to extract?Click the page thumbnails directly, or type a range like 1-3,5,7-9 into the text box — both stay in sync with each other.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?Yes — mix single pages and ranges freely, for example 2,4,9-11.
What do the odd/even shortcuts do?They instantly select every odd-numbered or even-numbered page, which is handy for separating double-sided scans.
Will splitting affect the quality of my PDF?No. Every extracted page keeps its original text, images and formatting exactly as it was in the source file.
Is my document safe during splitting?Yes — this tool runs entirely client-side. Your PDF is processed in your browser and never uploaded anywhere.
Do I need to install anything?No, it's a browser-based tool — nothing to download or install on your computer.
What happens to my original PDF?It stays untouched on your device — splitting creates a new file without modifying the source.
