How do I pull out specific pages from my PDF?

Upload your PDF and you'll see every page laid out. Click the ones you want - they get a blue highlight. Pick one page or twenty. Then hit extract and we'll make a brand new PDF with just those pages.

Can I grab pages from different sections of the PDF?

Absolutely. Pick page 3, skip to page 15, grab page 22 - whatever you need. The pages stay in their original order when we extract them, so everything makes sense.

What about my original file?

It stays exactly as it is. We never touch your original. Think of this as making a photocopy of certain pages - the original book stays on the shelf.

Is there a cap on how many pages I can extract?

Nope. One page or a hundred pages - extract whatever you need. The only limit is your original PDF has to be under 50MB.

What happens to my PDF after I split it?

We delete everything within an hour. Your file gets encrypted while we're working on it, then it's gone. We don't peek at your documents and we definitely don't keep them.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about splitting PDFs

When You Need to Split a PDF

Sometimes you don't need the whole document. Maybe it's a 50-page contract and you only need the signature page. Or a textbook where you want just one chapter. Or a report where only certain sections matter to you. That's when splitting comes in handy.

Other PDF tools make you download massive programs or pay for subscriptions. We built this to be different. No download, no account, no payment. Upload your PDF, pick your pages, get your file. That's the whole process.

Works for Every Type of Document

Contracts, invoices, presentations, research papers, ebooks, forms - whatever you've got in PDF format, we can split it. The content doesn't matter. As long as it's a PDF under 50MB, you're good to go. And if you're over that limit, just compress it first with our PDF compressor tool.
