Split or extract in your browser. No uploads, no data stored.

How this tool works

Split a PDF into separate files or extract only the pages you need—no software and no uploads. Our free browser-based splitter runs locally so your documents stay private. Page structure and quality are preserved; we only split or extract, not recompress, so output matches the original.

Common use cases

Use case 1

Extract specific pages (e.g. one contract page or form) from a large PDF.

Use case 2

Split a scanned document into separate one-page PDFs for filing or reuse.

Use case 3

Remove unwanted pages and save the rest as a new PDF for email or submission.

Use case 4

Create smaller PDFs from one file to meet email or upload size limits.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1

Upload your PDF. We’ll show a preview of the pages.

Step 2

Choose "Split" (every page becomes a separate file) or "Extract" and enter the page numbers to keep (e.g. 1,3,5-7).

Step 3

Click "Split PDF" or "Extract Pages" and wait for processing. It runs in your browser.

Step 4

Download the result. Multiple pages are delivered as a ZIP of PDFs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Adobe Acrobat to split or extract PDF pages?

No. Our tool works online in your browser without installing Adobe Acrobat or any other PDF software. You can split a PDF into separate files or extract only the pages you need, for free and without signup. Everything runs locally on your device.

Is splitting or extracting PDF pages free and private?

Yes. The tool is free and runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded to our servers—it is processed locally. We don’t store, copy, or share your documents. This makes it safe for sensitive or confidential PDFs.

How do I extract only certain pages?

Select "Extract pages" and enter the page numbers you want to keep. You can use commas and ranges (e.g. 1,3,5-7). Only those pages are included in the output. You’ll get a single PDF with just those pages, or a ZIP if you prefer one file per page.

What are the limitations of browser-based PDF splitting?

Very large PDFs (e.g. hundreds of pages) may take longer to process because everything runs on your device. If you notice slowdowns, try on a desktop or split in smaller batches. For most documents, the tool runs quickly.
