1 · Choose your document

Keep only the pages you need

Open a PDF below, choose the pages to keep, and save a new, smaller document. Your original stays unchanged.

Choose a file or drop it here

PDF documents only. Choose a file from your device, or drag it into this box.

Your files stay on your device. Maximum 25 MB per file.

    2 · Choose what to keep

    Click the pages above, or type their numbers

    Use the page numbers shown under the previews. These may be different from numbers printed inside the document.

    • Just one page: type 5 to keep page 5.
    • A few pages in a row: type 1-3 to keep pages 1, 2 and 3.
    • A mix of pages: type 1-3, 5, 8-10 to keep pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10.
    A comma separates choices. A dash means “through”. All chosen pages go into one new PDF, in the order you enter them.

    How to use Split PDF

    1. Choose the PDF containing the pages you want.
    2. Click the page previews you want to keep. You can also type 1-3, 5 to keep pages 1, 2, 3 and 5.
    3. Extract the pages and download the new PDF.

    A closer look

    Extract a chapter, receipt, or relevant section without sending an entire document. Selected pages are combined into one output PDF in the order you enter them. Repeated page numbers are included only once. Printed page labels can differ from a PDF’s physical page numbers, so check the source in a viewer first.

    A practical example

    For a ten-page document, enter 1-3, 5 to save four pages together. Run the tool again with 8-10 if you need a second, separate file.

    A useful tip

    To create several separate documents, run the tool once for each desired range. The original PDF remains untouched.

    Good questions. Simple answers.

    Does this delete pages from my original?

    No. The tool builds a new document containing the selected pages; your original file is unchanged.

    Can I reorder pages?

    Yes. Enter 5, 1-3 to put page 5 first, followed by pages 1 through 3. Each range must run from a lower number to a higher number.
