Use Split PDF to make a new PDF containing only the pages you select.

Select and save your pages

  1. Open Split PDF and choose the source PDF from your device.
  2. Enter the page numbers you want. Use commas between individual pages or ranges, and a hyphen for each ascending range. For example, 1,3,5 selects three individual pages; 2-4,7 selects pages 2, 3, 4 and 7.
  3. Click Split PDF, then download the resulting split-pages.pdf file.
  4. Open the downloaded file and check that it contains the right pages in the right order. Test any links, forms or annotations you need before sharing it.

Pages appear in the order you enter them. For example, 5,1-2 puts page 5 first, followed by pages 1 and 2.

Avoid selection mistakes

  • Check the page positions in the PDF, especially if printed page labels differ from their positions in the file.
  • Write ranges in ascending order, such as 2-4, not 4-2.
  • Don’t select the same page twice or enter a page number beyond the end of the PDF. Duplicate, reversed and out-of-range selections are rejected.
  • Review the downloaded file rather than assuming every interactive feature transferred.

Limits and privacy checks

The tool accepts one PDF at a time, up to 25 MB and 300 readable pages. Password-protected or encrypted PDFs aren’t supported.

Splitting happens locally in your browser; the source PDF is not uploaded for splitting. Selected pages are copied structurally into a new PDF without rasterizing or resizing the visible pages. However, bookmarks, document-level metadata and some interactive features may not transfer. Page-embedded content or metadata can remain, so inspect sensitive output before sharing.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put selected pages in a different order?

Yes. Pages appear in the order entered. For example, 5,1-2 puts page 5 before pages 1 and 2.

Why was my page selection rejected?

Check for duplicate pages, reversed ranges such as 4-2, and page numbers outside the PDF. Use ascending ranges such as 2-4.

Will links, forms and bookmarks work in the new PDF?

Some interactive features and bookmarks may not transfer. Open the downloaded PDF and test anything you need.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

No. The tool does not support password-protected or encrypted PDFs.
