Split a PDF into separate pages or extract a page range for free in your browser — no upload, no watermark. Step-by-step guide plus a free PDF splitter.
What Does Splitting a PDF Mean?
Splitting a PDF means extracting specific pages or a range from a larger PDF into a new, smaller file. It's the opposite of merging — you pull out just the pages you need and leave the rest behind.
How to Split a PDF (Step by Step)
- Open the free Split PDF tool.
- Select your PDF file.
- Choose the page range you want to extract (e.g. pages 2–5).
- Download the new PDF containing only those pages.
Common Reasons to Split a PDF
- Sending only the signature page of a contract
- Sharing one chapter from a long report
- Removing confidential pages before forwarding
- Breaking a bulk scan into individual documents
Split vs Merge
| Action | What it does | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Split | One PDF → several / a page range | Split PDF |
| Merge | Several PDFs → one file | Merge PDF |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract a single page from a PDF?
Yes — set the range to that one page (e.g. pages 3–3) and download it as its own file.
Is the Split PDF tool free?
Completely free, no sign-up and no watermark. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Will splitting reduce the quality?
No. Splitting copies the original pages exactly — text and images stay identical.
