How to Split a PDF or Extract Specific Pages (Free, Online)

Jun 2026·4 min read

Sometimes you only need one page of a 200-page report. Sometimes you need to split a giant scan into individual chapters. Sometimes you need to email just the cover letter of a contract. In every case, the answer is the same: split or extract pages from your PDF — for free, in seconds, in your browser.

Split a PDF in 4 steps

  1. Open the Split PDF tool.
  2. Drop your PDF onto the upload area.
  3. Pick how to split — every page, every N pages, or specific page ranges.
  4. Download the resulting PDFs as a single zip.

Extract specific pages

If you only need a handful of pages out of a larger document, the Extract PDF Pages tool is the cleaner choice. Pick the exact pages you want (e.g. "1, 3, 5-7") and download a single new PDF containing only those pages.

Common reasons to split a PDF

  • Email a single chapter of an ebook to a friend.
  • Send only the signature page of a contract for countersignature.
  • Break a giant scan into one file per invoice for bookkeeping.
  • Shrink the file below an email attachment limit.

Need the opposite?
