Extract only the pages you need
A long PDF may contain several chapters, customers, invoices, or forms. Splitting lets you create a focused document from selected pages while keeping the original file unchanged.
How to split a PDF
- Open the split tool and upload your PDF.
- Choose the page range or individual pages.
- Confirm the intended output.
- Process the document.
- Open the new PDF and verify its page order.
Useful page-range examples
- Extract pages 1–3 as a cover and summary.
- Separate each invoice or form.
- Remove appendices from a sharing copy.
- Create shorter files for email or portal limits.
Review numbering after splitting
Printed page numbers may not match the PDF viewer’s page index. Confirm the correct pages by reading headings, dates, and section labels before export.
Frequently asked questions
Does splitting delete pages from the original?
No. It creates a new output and leaves the original file unchanged.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
The available selection options depend on the tool interface. Choose the specific pages or ranges shown.
Will the extracted pages keep their quality?
Splitting generally preserves the existing page content because it reorganizes pages rather than re-creating them.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned pages are still PDF pages and can be separated.
Can I split and then merge pages again?
Yes. You can create smaller files and later combine selected outputs with the merge tool.
