Need to separate specific pages from a large PDF or divide a multi-page document into individual files?

Drag and drop your document into the upload dropzone or browse your device. Visual thumbnail previews are rendered instantly.
Select Splitting Method
Choose Extract Pages for specific ranges (e.g. 1-3, 5), Extract All Pages into individual single-page files, or Split in Half.
Configure Page Ranges
Type your target pages or click individual thumbnail cards in the interactive grid to visually toggle pages you wish to keep.
Extract & Download
Click "Extract Pages". The tool generates your custom PDF or packages individual pages into a clean ZIP archive with zero quality loss.
Page Range Syntax & Selection Cheat Sheet
Use flexible range syntax in the Page Ranges input or use one-click visual presets to isolate exactly the pages you need:
| Syntax Example | Result | Common Use Case |
|---|---|---|
5 | Extracts only Page 5 as a standalone single-page PDF | Isolating a signed contract page, single certificate, or receipt |
1-5 | Extracts consecutive pages 1 through 5 | Exporting an executive summary or opening chapter |
1, 3, 5, 8 | Extracts individual specific pages in that order | Selecting highlighted review pages across a large document |
1-4, 8, 12-15 | Combines multiple distinct ranges into one new file | Extracting several chapters or appendices simultaneously |
Odd / Even Presets | Selects all odd (1, 3, 5...) or even (2, 4, 6...) pages | Manual double-sided printing or duplex scanning separation |
Common PDF Splitting Scenarios

Invoice & Receipt Batches
Separate monthly multi-invoice scan packets into individual single-page PDF files for expense reimbursement and automated accounting entry.

How to cut PDF pages or slice scanned pages in half?
To cut PDF pages from scanned double-page spreads or 2-up booklets, click the Split Pages in Half tab. Choose vertical (left/right) or horizontal (top/bottom) split mode and adjust the interactive cut line. The tool slices each physical two-page scan into two separate single pages automatically.
How do I separate PDF pages into individual single-page files?
Choose the Extract All Pages (ZIP) tab and click Extract All Pages. The tool separates every page into its own individual PDF document (e.g. page_1.pdf, page_2.pdf) and packages all files neatly inside a single compressed ZIP folder.
How can I extract only odd or even pages from a PDF?
In the Page Selection Visualizer above the page thumbnails, click the Odd or Even preset button. The tool automatically selects alternating pages (e.g., 1, 3, 5 or 2, 4, 6), perfect for preparing documents for double-sided manual printing or separating front and back scanner batches.
How do I extract a single page from a large PDF document?
Upload your document, click on the exact page thumbnail you want in the visual selector (or type the page number into the Page Ranges box, e.g. 42), and click Extract Pages. You will immediately download a clean, single-page PDF containing only that page.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages and combine them into one new PDF?
Yes. Type non-consecutive pages and ranges separated by commas, such as 1, 4-7, 12, 19-22. The tool extracts all specified pages in that exact order and binds them into a single downloadable PDF.
How do I specify page ranges for extraction?
You can type specific pages and ranges separated by commas, such as 1, 3-5, 8. The page extractor will compile only those specified pages into a single, cohesive PDF document for download.
Will cutting or splitting PDF pages reduce quality or remove searchable text?
No. The extraction process copies PDF page byte streams directly without rasterization or re-encoding. Searchable OCR text, embedded vector fonts, form fields, and image resolutions remain 100% intact.
Will extracting pages modify the original PDF file on my computer?
No. All operations are non-destructive and run strictly within your web browser's temporary sandbox. Your original source file stored on your computer or phone remains untouched and unaltered.
Can I split a password-protected PDF document?
You must unlock the PDF file first. You can use our PDF Unlock tool to remove password restrictions, and then split the resulting unlocked PDF file here.
Is this browser-based PDF splitter safe for confidential legal files?
Yes, 100%. All processing occurs strictly client-side inside your browser sandbox via WebAssembly and JavaScript. Zero files are uploaded to any cloud server, ensuring complete confidentiality for contracts, court filings, and tax documents.
