About the PDF Splitter

The splitter takes one PDF and gives you smaller PDFs. There are three ways to choose pages. All Pages saves every page as its own file. Page Range takes a list such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Select Pages shows a numbered button for each page that you click on or off. For a range or a selection you decide the output: one file per page, or, with Save the selected pages together as one PDF ticked, a single new PDF containing just those pages, in page order.

The pages are copied as they are with pdf-lib, not re-rendered, so text stays selectable, web links on the page keep working and images keep their quality. Each new file only contains the resources its pages use, so a page split from a large document is usually much smaller than the original. You can download files one by one or click Download All (ZIP) to get them in one archive.

A common example: a bank sends a 12-page statement, but a loan application only asks for the pages covering one month, say pages 4 to 6. Choose Page Range, type 4-6, tick the option to save them together and click Extract Pages. To do the opposite, joining files, use the PDF Merger; to delete or reorder pages inside one document instead, open it in the PDF Editor.

How to use the PDF Splitter

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    Drop a PDF on the drop area or click Browse Files (up to 50 MB). The total number of pages appears.

  2. 2

    Choose how to split

    Pick All Pages, Page Range (for example 1-3, 5, 8-10) or Select Pages and click the page numbers you want.

  3. 3

    Choose separate files or one PDF

    For a range or selection, tick Save the selected pages together as one PDF if you want a single file.

  4. 4

    Split and download

    Click Split PDF (or Extract Pages), then click a file to download it, or use Download All (ZIP) when there are several.

What it can do

Three ways to pick pages

Every page, typed ranges with commas and dashes, or clickable page numbers.

Separate files or one PDF

Save each selected page on its own or keep them together in a single new document.

No quality loss

Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text, vector graphics and images stay exactly as they were.

ZIP download

When several files are created, download them all at once in a ZIP archive.

Limitations

  • Pages are always kept in their original order; ranges like 5-3 are ignored. Use the PDF Editor to reorder pages.
  • Bookmarks, document metadata and links that jump to other pages do not carry over, and fillable form fields may stop working in the new files.
  • Password-protected PDFs, and PDFs with usage restrictions, must be unlocked first with the PDF Password tool.
  • Splitting a long document into single pages creates one file per page, which takes longer and more memory on very large PDFs.

Privacy

Your PDF is split by JavaScript in your browser and the new files are created on your device; nothing is uploaded to FlexyPdf’s servers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract several pages into one PDF?

Choose Page Range or Select Pages, pick the pages, tick Save the selected pages together as one PDF and click Extract Pages. You get one file ending in -extracted.pdf.

How do I type a page range?

Separate items with commas and use a dash for a run of pages: 1-3, 5, 8-10 selects pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Numbers beyond the last page are ignored, and the counter under the box shows how many pages your input selects.

Will the split pages look exactly like the original?

Yes. Each page is copied with its fonts, images and drawings rather than converted to an image, so nothing is re-compressed and text remains selectable.

Can I remove pages with this tool?

Indirectly: select the pages you want to keep and save them together as one PDF. That new file leaves out every page you did not select.
