Split PDF online free

Save just the pages you need.

Up to 40 MB. Enter pages like 1–3, 5.

What is this tool?

Extract selected pages into a smaller, focused document. This is useful when only a section of a report is needed. The operation selects pages; it does not redact private text within a page or delete material from your original file.

How to use it

  1. Read the input labels and limits below, then choose the operation that matches your task.
  2. Choose the source PDF.
  3. Enter page numbers and ranges, for example 1-3, 5.
  4. Extract and inspect the new document’s page order before sharing it.
  5. Check the result against the worked example or original file before copying, downloading or using it elsewhere.

Worked example

If a report’s cover is PDF page 1 but its printed numbering begins later, use the PDF viewer’s page positions. The printed number on a page is not necessarily the number required by the extraction field.

Questions & limits

Page numbers start at 1. Selected pages are saved into one new PDF in the order entered; duplicate selections are removed. Encrypted PDFs are rejected. Source files stay unchanged.

How do I extract only certain PDF pages?

Choose a PDF and enter page numbers such as 1-3, 5. The selected pages become one new PDF in the order you enter. Page numbering begins at 1; the original file is unchanged.

Can I hide one paragraph with this tool?

No. Selecting whole pages is not redaction. If sensitive information remains on a selected page, use a proper redaction workflow and verify the result before distributing it.

Before sharing the result

Keep the source file until you have opened the downloaded copy and checked every important page or image. Confirm that names, dates and small text are readable. A successful download only means a file was created; it does not prove that every visual or interactive feature survived the chosen operation. For an upload portal, check its actual file-type, page-count and size requirements. If processing fails on a large file, try a smaller source or close other memory-heavy tabs.

This tool runs in a modern browser with JavaScript enabled. It processes the values or files you enter on your device. Loading the site still makes hosting requests. The separate contact form sends messages to the administrator; it is not part of tool processing. Keep an original copy and inspect any exported result before relying on it.
