How to split a PDF or extract pages
A 40-page pack with one form you actually need is a common annoyance. You do not have to convert the whole thing to images. Split keeps the pages as PDF — smaller to email, still searchable, still a real document.
Extract a range as one PDF
- Open Split PDF and drop the file.
- Type a range such as
1-3,7,10-(10-means page 10 to the end), or click thumbnails. - Leave the output on One PDF with selected pages.
- Download. The original file is unchanged.
One file per page
Choose One PDF per page (ZIP) when you need to drop page 4 into a chat and page 12 into a folder. Each selected page becomes its own PDF inside one ZIP.
Split vs convert to JPG
| Split PDF | PDF to JPG / PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Result | Still a PDF | Pictures of pages |
| Text selectable | Yes | No (it is an image) |
| Best for | Emailing pages, archives | Slides, posts, OCR-ready images |
| Password PDFs | Not supported | Yes, if you know the password |
Need a picture of one page for a slide? Use extract a page as an image instead.
Sideways pages
If the extracted page is rotated, open Rotate PDF, click the page until it is upright, and download. Rotation does not flatten the page.
FAQ
Does splitting delete pages from the original?
No. The file you dropped is only read. The original on disk does not change.
Can I split several PDFs at once?
This screen works on one PDF at a time. Drop the next file after you have saved the first extract.
