Take out the pages you actually need

Splitting is usually a privacy task, not an organisational one. A bank asks for one page of a statement, not twelve. An employer wants your degree certificate, not the whole scanned folder. A form accepts two pages, and you have nine.

Sending the whole document because separating it is inconvenient means sharing more than you needed to. This tool makes the separation take a few seconds, on your own device.

Two ways to split

Extract a range gives you a single new PDF containing exactly the pages you asked for. Type them the way you would say them — 1-3, 7, 12-14. Ranges, single pages, or a mix.

One file per page bursts the document completely, producing a separate PDF for every page. These arrive as a single ZIP, because fifty separate download prompts is not a feature.

Nothing is re-encoded

Pages are copied across as-is. No rendering, no compression, no quality change — a split scan is pixel-identical to the original pages, and a split text document keeps its text selectable.

This is worth knowing if the pages you are extracting are already at a size limit. Splitting will not make them larger or smaller; it just removes the pages you did not want. If you need the result under a specific size, compress it afterwards.

A note on page numbers

The numbers you type are the positions of the pages in the file, counting from one — not the page numbers printed on the pages themselves. A report whose first page is a cover, with printed page 1 appearing third, still counts that cover as page 1 here.

If you are not certain, extract a small range first and check it before doing the rest.

Practical notes

  • Keep your original. Extraction is non-destructive, but keep it anyway.
  • Check what you extracted before sending it — especially if you are splitting to remove sensitive pages. If a page must be removed rather than not included, verify the result rather than assuming.
  • Removing pages is not redaction. If the sensitive material is on a page you are keeping, splitting will not help. Text hidden under a black rectangle is still in the file.

This tool runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded — it never leaves your device, so there is nothing for us or anyone else to read, store or leak.

Common questions

How do I type the pages I want?

The way you would say it out loud — "1-3, 7, 12-14". Single pages, ranges, or a mix, separated by commas. Pages outside the document are ignored rather than causing an error.

What is the difference between extracting and splitting?

Extracting gives you one new PDF containing just the pages you chose. Splitting gives you a separate PDF for every page in the document, delivered as a single ZIP so it is one download rather than fifty.

Does the original file change?

No. Your original is untouched on your disk. Every result is a new file, and your browser cannot overwrite a file you did not explicitly save over.

Can I split a scanned document?

Yes. Splitting only rearranges pages — it does not re-encode anything, so a scan comes out at exactly the quality it went in.
