What this split pdf does
Split PDF extracts the pages you specify from a document. It supports two modes: extract selected pages into a single new PDF, or split every page into its own file and download them together as a ZIP. Range syntax accepts commas and hyphens, so 1-3,7,12-15 produces pages 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 13, 14 and 15 in that order.
Processing happens in your browser. The page content is copied as-is, with no rasterisation, so text stays selectable and links inside the copied pages continue to work where their targets exist in the new document.

Worked examples
Extract a section
Input
report.pdf · range 4-6
Output
report-pages-4-6.pdf · 3 pages
Split a batch
Input
scans.pdf · 12 pages · split every page
Output
scans-pages.zip · 12 single-page PDF files
Keep the ZIP closed until the download finishes; very large documents take a moment to package.
Common mistakes
- Using zero-based numbers — page numbers in this tool start at 1.
- Requesting a page beyond the document length, which the tool reports instead of silently skipping.
- Splitting a signed document and expecting the digital signature to remain valid; any change breaks it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I remove pages instead of extracting them?
Yes. Extract the pages you want to keep and ignore the rest — the output contains only the selected pages.
Will the split PDF keep text searchable?
Yes. Pages are copied, not converted to images, so text and vector content remain intact.
Why is my download a ZIP?
Split-every-page mode produces many files, so they are packaged into one ZIP archive.
