How to Split a PDF: Extract Just the Pages You Need
Not every situation calls for the whole document. Maybe you need to send just the signature page, share one chapter, or pull the three pages your colleague actually asked for. Splitting beats forwarding a 60-page file every time.
Split a PDF in three steps
- Open Split PDF and load your document — every page appears as a preview.
- Click the pages you want to keep (or use Select all and deselect a few).
- Click Extract to download a new PDF with exactly those pages, in order.
It all happens in your browser, so the original never leaves your device.
Handy ways to use it
- Share selectively — send only the relevant pages, not the entire file.
- Break up a scan — separate a batch of scanned documents into individual files.
- Trim the fat — drop blank or duplicate pages before sending.
Tip: Need to rearrange what's left rather than just extract? Organize PDF lets you drag pages into a new order and delete the rest.
