Split / extract PDF pages

Split a PDF into one file per page, or extract a chosen range of pages into a new PDF. Everything happens locally in your browser.

e.g. "1-3, 5, 8-". Leave blank for all pages.

This tool does not upload your files

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your files stay on your device from start to finish, there is no server copy, and nothing is stored once you leave the page. That is true for every tool on FileFlip.

01About this tool

About this tool

Sometimes you only need a few pages out of a long document: one invoice from a statement, a single chapter, the signed page of a contract. This tool either pulls a chosen range into a new PDF or breaks the whole document into one file per page. Your document stays on your device throughout.

02Step by step

How to split pdf

  1. 01

    Add one PDF

    Drop in the document you want to break up.

  2. 02

    Choose what you want

    Extract a page range into a single new PDF, or produce one separate PDF for every page in the document.

  3. 03

    Type the pages you need

    Ranges are written like 1-3, 5, 8-. A trailing dash means to the end. Leaving it blank selects every page.

  4. 04

    Split and download

    One file comes back for an extracted range. In one file per page mode you get the whole set, and the zip button downloads them together.

03Good to know

What to watch for

Page numbers are the ones you see

Counting starts at 1 and follows the pages in the document, not any numbering printed on them. If the printed numbering starts partway through, count from the first physical page.

Quality is untouched

Pages are copied out of the original rather than redrawn. Text stays selectable and searchable, and images keep their original resolution.

Extracted files can be much smaller

Pulling three pages out of a two hundred page document usually gives a very small file, because only the resources those pages use are carried over.

04Questions

Frequently asked

Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser using code that was downloaded to your device. Your file is never sent to us or to anyone else, so there is no copy to store or leak.
How do I get just one page?
Use the extract mode and type that single page number, for example 7. You will get a one page PDF back.
What does a range like 8- mean?
Page 8 to the end of the document. Equally, -3 means the beginning through page 3.
Can I delete pages instead of extracting them?
Indirectly. Extract the pages you want to keep, which achieves the same result as deleting the rest. For example, in a ten page document, entering 1-4, 6-10 removes page 5.
