How to Split PDF by Page Ranges
- 1
Load your PDF
Add the PDF you want to split. The tool shows a preview of each page.
- 2
Select page ranges
Enter the pages you want, like 1-5 or 3,7,12-15. Multiple ranges create separate output files.
- 3
Split and download
Each range becomes its own PDF. Download individually or as a zip file.
Extract Just What You Need
A 50-page report where you only need pages 12-18. A textbook chapter buried in a 300-page PDF. A contract where the other party only needs the signature pages. Splitting by page range lets you extract exactly what's relevant.
Page range syntax is flexible: '1-5' for a continuous range, '1,3,5' for individual pages, '1-5,10-15' for multiple ranges. Each range produces a separate output file, so you can create multiple extracts in one operation.
The extracted pages maintain their original quality, formatting, and embedded content. Links that point to pages within the extracted range still work. Links pointing outside the range become inactive since those pages no longer exist in the output.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create multiple splits at once?
Yes. Enter multiple ranges separated by commas like '1-5,6-10,11-15' and each range becomes its own file. Great for breaking chapters apart.
Do annotations and highlights survive the split?
Yes. All annotations, highlights, comments, and form fields on the extracted pages are preserved.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
If the PDF requires a password to open, you'll need to enter it first. If it's only print/edit restricted, the tool can usually process it.
