What this tool does
For supported PDFs, the tool copies selected pages into a new PDF according to the page range you enter. It does not upload the original PDF or change the source file.
Use this page when you only need certain PDF pages and want to extract page ranges locally instead of uploading the whole document.

Privacy and local processing
Local workflow
- Select the PDF and wait for the local page count.
- Enter a single page, a range, or a comma-separated list such as 1-3, 5, 8.
- Create the split PDF locally and download it.
- Open the output to confirm the right pages were included.
Before sharing the output
- Check page numbering carefully because PDF viewers and printed labels can differ.
- Verify that attachments, forms, or links still behave as expected.
- Remember that extracting pages does not redact content on pages you keep.
- Keep the original until you confirm the extracted copy is correct.
Supported files and limitations
Supported: One PDF file. Recommended max size: 200 MB or 500 pages.
- Complex, encrypted, or damaged PDFs may not load.
- The tool does not perform OCR or text extraction.
- Very large PDFs can be memory-heavy, especially on mobile.
Split PDF vs remove PDF pages
Splitting exports selected pages you want to keep. Removing pages starts from the full document and excludes pages you do not want. Both create a new local copy, but neither should be described as full PDF sanitization.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not guess page ranges when the document is important.
- Do not assume hidden attachments or annotations are fully removed by splitting.
- Do not share the extracted PDF until you open and review it.
- Do not use page splitting as a substitute for legal redaction.
FAQ
Can I split by page range?
Yes. Use ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10.
Can I extract only one page?
Yes. Enter a single page number, such as 4.
Will the original PDF be changed?
No. The original remains on your device and the tool creates a new file.
Can I split into many files at once?
This version exports one PDF for the selected ranges. Multi-file ZIP export can be added later without changing the browser-only privacy model.
Are PDFs uploaded?
No. Supported PDFs are processed locally.
