Split PDF Online Free

Split PDF Online Free

Split PDF is a fast, free, browser-based tool that extracts specific pages or page ranges from any PDF document and saves them as a new, smaller PDF file. Whether you need a single page, a specific chapter, or a custom range of pages, this free PDF splitter delivers the result instantly — with no software installation, no server upload, and no signup required.

Why Split a PDF File?

PDF documents are often large, multi-section files that contain more content than any particular recipient needs to see. Splitting a PDF lets you extract only the relevant pages for sharing, reduce file size before emailing or uploading, separate chapters or sections for individual distribution, extract invoices from bulk billing PDFs, isolate specific pages for review or approval, and create focused documents from large reports or manuals.

For example, if you receive a 200-page annual report and need to share only the financial summary on pages 45-52, our Split PDF tool extracts just those pages as a clean, standalone PDF in seconds. No need to print, scan, or use expensive desktop software.

How to Split a PDF

Upload your PDF using the file selector or drag and drop. Enter your desired page range in the input field — for example, enter 1-5 to extract the first five pages, or 3, 7, 10-15 to extract a custom combination of pages and ranges. Click Process and your extracted pages are packaged as a new PDF ready to download.

Single page: Enter 5 to extract page 5 only.
Consecutive range: Enter 3-8 to extract pages 3 through 8.
