How to split a PDF
- Select one PDF file.
- Choose the pages you want to keep, or enter page ranges.
- Review the selected pages output list.
- Download a new PDF that contains only those pages.
What this tool is for
Use Split PDF when you want to export only part of a document, such as a chapter, an appendix, selected invoices, or a subset of scanned pages for sharing.
Split PDF vs. remove pages
Split PDF is for choosing the pages you want to export as a new file. PDF Page Remover is better when you want to keep most pages and delete only a smaller set from the original order.
Limits
This version exports the selected pages as one new PDF. It does not yet create one file per selected page or ZIP multiple outputs together. Very large PDFs may take longer to load and export.
Concrete examples
Split a contract to keep only the signature pages, export one chapter from a handbook, keep only one client's invoice pages, share just the appendix of a report, save a few lab result pages, or extract selected receipts from a larger scan bundle.
Common mistakes and what to do
If pages are missing, check the selected pages list before download. If a range does not apply, review the format and separate ranges with commas. If a large PDF feels slow, wait for loading to finish or try again in a newer browser.
Privacy and processing
This tool processes PDFs in your browser. The PDF you select is not uploaded to PDFresh for this workflow. Processing speed and stability still depend on your device and browser.
