Splitting PDFs: Extract Pages Like a Pro

Master the art of extracting specific pages from PDF documents

When to Split PDFs

PDF splitting is useful for:

  • Extracting specific chapters from a book
  • Sharing only relevant pages from a large document
  • Creating separate files from combined documents
  • Reducing file size by removing unnecessary pages

Using Page Ranges

Our tool supports flexible page range syntax:

  • Single pages: 1, 3, 5
  • Page ranges: 1-5 (pages 1 through 5)
  • Mixed syntax: 1-3, 5, 7-9

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Visit our Split PDF tool
  2. Upload your PDF file
  3. Enter page ranges (e.g., "1-3, 5")
  4. Click "Split PDF"
  5. Download your extracted pages

Tips for Success

  • Preview your PDF first to know page numbers
  • Use commas to separate different ranges
  • Pages are numbered starting from 1
  • Extracted pages maintain original quality

Common Use Cases

Extract Invoice from Statement

If you have a multi-page bank statement but only need the first page (summary), extract page 1.

Share Contract Pages

Extract and share only the signature pages (e.g., last 2 pages) instead of the entire contract.

Create Chapter Files

Split an ebook into separate PDF files for each chapter for easier reading.
