Choose range split vs extraction
Use range split when you need several sections such as 1-20 and 21-40. Use selected-page extraction when you only need pages such as 1,3,7-9 in a new document.

PRACTICAL GUIDE
Practical rules for splitting PDFs
Split a PDF by page range or extract only the pages you need into a new PDF or separate page files.Page numbers start at 1
The interface uses human-readable page numbers beginning at 1. Internal zero-based PDF indexes are handled by the tool.
Selections are deduplicated and sorted
Repeated selected pages are included once and selected-page output is sorted ascending. Thumbnail clicks and text input share the same selection state.
Overlapping split ranges stay independent
If ranges such as 1-5 and 4-8 overlap, pages 4 and 5 are intentionally included in both output PDFs. Check the expected plan before processing.
Pages are copied, not rasterized
Result PDFs copy original PDF page objects into new documents rather than rebuilding the pages as images, avoiding unnecessary image re-rendering during the split itself.
ZIP is convenient for per-page output
Browsers may block many automatic downloads, so one-PDF-per-page output can be collected into a single ZIP.
Sensitive documents stay local
Contracts and certificates are processed in browser memory without a server-upload workflow. Unsaved results disappear when the page is closed or refreshed.
Encrypted or damaged PDFs are not bypassed
The tool does not bypass passwords or force damaged files through processing. It reports an input error and keeps the workflow recoverable.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Important notes
Review the split mode and expected outputs before downloading.- For browser stability, this tool accepts one PDF up to 50MB and 300 pages, up to 100 range items, and up to 300 output files.
- A failed thumbnail does not always mean page copying itself will fail; preview failures and output-generation failures are treated separately.
- Overlapping split ranges are allowed, so the same page can appear in multiple results.
- Odd/even mode uses visible 1, 2, 3… page numbers. A one-page PDF does not produce an empty even-page PDF.
- Merging, deleting/reordering/rotating pages, compression, password removal, and OCR belong to other tools.
- Refresh or closing the tab can discard results that have not been downloaded.
FAQ
FAQ
01How do I enter page ranges?+
Enter independent ranges such as 1-3 / 4-7 / 8-10. Commas, line breaks, /, and ; can separate each output range.
02Can selected pages be combined into one PDF?+
Yes. Choose Combine Selected Pages to place the selected pages, sorted ascending, into one PDF.
03Can every page be saved separately?+
Yes. One PDF per Page creates a PDF for each page and lets you download the set as a ZIP.
04Can odd and even pages be saved separately?+
Yes. Choose odd only, even only, or create both results.
05Is the PDF uploaded to a server?+
No. The current implementation reads and creates PDF files locally in the browser.
