How to Split a PDF: Extract Pages Without Software (Free)

Sometimes you only need pages 3 to 5 of a 40-page PDF. Splitting extracts exactly what you need into a new file, free and without installing anything.

Split in your browser

The Split PDF tool extracts a page range into a new PDF, running on your device — your document is never uploaded, which matters for bank statements and contracts.

When to split

Sending only the relevant pages of a long report, extracting one invoice from a combined file, pulling a chapter from a scanned book, or breaking a large document into emailable chunks. Splitting also reduces file size when you need only part of a big PDF.

Split, then act

Split out pages, then merge them into a custom document; or split, then compress for an upload limit. Need a page count first? The PDF page counter shows pages and file size.

Scans and locked files

Scanned PDFs split like any other. Password-protected PDFs need unlocking first. Fix sideways pages with the rotate PDF tool.

Private by design

Everything happens in your browser — disconnect your internet mid-task and it still works, proof nothing is sent anywhere.
