Split a PDF
Works entirely in your browser — your document is never uploaded to a server. Results are measured from the actual output file, and limitations are stated openly.
One PDF in — one PDF out per page or per range you enter. Nothing is re-encoded.

Splitting questions
How do I extract pages from a PDF?
Enter page ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8- and you get one PDF per range; leave the field empty to get a single PDF per page. Extraction is lossless, so fonts, text, vectors and image quality are untouched.
Does splitting a PDF reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied out of the original document with everything intact — nothing is re-encoded, rasterised or recompressed, so a split part is visually identical to the source page.
Why split instead of compress a PDF?
Because splitting removes content rather than degrading it. If a portal only needs three pages, sending three pages is both smaller and clearer than a compressed version of all forty — and the text stays selectable.
Can I split a PDF on my phone?
Yes. Page ranges are typed into a normal text field and the split runs in the browser, so the same workflow works on an iPhone or Android phone with no app to install.
Extracting pages, losslessly
Splitting never re-encodes anything: pages are copied out of the original document with their fonts, text, vectors and image quality exactly intact. Enter page ranges like 1-3, 5, 8- to separate a document into parts, or leave the field empty and get one PDF per page — each downloads individually or all at once as a ZIP.
Extraction is the honest fix for a stubborn upload cap: portals rarely need all 40 pages, and sending only the requested ones beats compressing what nobody reads. If the requested pages still need to be smaller, run the split parts through the PDF compressor; to rebuild a document from several sources, the merge tool is the exact inverse. The rest of the suite is in the PDF tools hub.
