Split / Extract PDF Pages
See every page as a thumbnail, pick the ones you need, and download them as a new PDF — nothing uploaded.
100% private — your PDF is rendered into thumbnails and split entirely on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server, not even temporarily.
Drag & drop a PDF here
One PDF at a time. Every page renders as its own thumbnail you can select.
Long PDFs render one page at a time — if your browser slows down on a very large document, give it a moment to finish.
How it works
Add your PDF
Drag and drop it in, or click "Choose file" — every page renders as a thumbnail.
Pick your pages
Click thumbnails, use Select all/none, or type a range like "1-3,5".
Extract and download
Get a brand-new PDF containing only the pages you chose.
What people use a PDF page extractor for

Pulling one chapter from a book
Sharing one page, not a whole packet
Trimming a scanned contract
Removing a blank cover page
Isolating one scanned photo page
Splitting vs. extracting — and why this tool leans "extract"
"Split a PDF" can mean two different things: breaking one document into several smaller PDFs, or pulling a specific handful of pages out into a single new file. This tool is built around the second, more common need — you see every page rendered as a real thumbnail, pick exactly the ones you want by clicking, typing a range, or both, and get back one new PDF containing just those pages, in their original order.
Typing a range is the fastest path once you know which pages you need — "1-3,5,8-9" selects pages 1 through 3, page 5, and pages 8 through 9 in one go, and the thumbnail grid updates to match immediately so you can double-check before extracting. Clicking thumbnails directly is better when you're skimming a document you haven't fully reviewed yet, since you can actually see each page before deciding.
Because everything renders and processes locally, there's no upload wait and no server-side file size cap — a longer document just takes a little more time to render its thumbnails, one page at a time, rather than failing outright the way some upload-based tools do on large files.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your PDF is read, rendered into page thumbnails, and split entirely inside your own browser. Nothing is ever sent to a server, not even temporarily.
How do I select which pages to extract?
Click any page thumbnail to select or deselect it, use Select all / Select none, or type a page range like "1-3,5" into the text field to select pages that way — all three stay in sync with each other.
Can I extract pages in a different order than the original PDF?
Selected pages are placed into the new PDF in their original page order, not the order you clicked them, since that's what most people expect from "extract these pages." Use Merge PDF afterward if you need a different custom order.
What's the difference between this and just deleting pages?
This tool builds a brand-new PDF containing only the pages you selected — your original file is never modified or re-uploaded anywhere. Think of it as "extract a copy," not "edit in place."
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not directly — an encrypted PDF needs to be unlocked first, since this tool can't read a file it doesn't have the password for. Remove the password in whatever program originally protected it, then split the unlocked file.
Is this PDF splitter free to use?
Yes, completely free, with no account or sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser.
