Split PDF Online Free - Extract PDF Pages
Split a PDF online by selecting pages or entering page ranges. Extract the pages you need into one PDF or create separate PDF files securely.
Extract pages or split a PDF into ranges
Choose individual pages visually or enter precise ranges to create the PDF output you need.
Split one PDF into multiple ranges
Enter ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes a separate PDF and multiple results are packaged together for download.
Work from page previews before processing
Review page thumbnails, select all pages or clear the selection, and confirm the summary before starting the split.
Choose the right way to split your PDF
Extracting a few pages and dividing a document into separate files are different tasks. Decide what you want to download before selecting pages.
Keep selected pages in one document
Use page selection when you need one smaller PDF containing only the pages you choose. This is useful for sending an excerpt from a report without its cover, appendices or unrelated chapters. Review the selected thumbnails before submitting.
Create a PDF for each range
Enter ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10 to make separate documents from those groups. Several generated PDFs are packaged in a ZIP download. Extract the archive on your device before opening or sharing the individual files.
Split into individual pages
Choose the separate-page mode when each page should become its own PDF. The download is a ZIP containing the generated PDFs, even if that mode produces just one file. This differs from selecting several pages for one combined excerpt.
Check document positions, not printed numbers
A report may display page 1 after a cover and contents page. Select by the page positions shown in the tool, not by numbers printed inside the document. Compare the thumbnails with the source PDF to avoid leaving out the start of a chapter.
Keep the original for later
Splitting creates new files; it does not replace your local source document. Download the output and check its page count and opening page before sending it. Keep the original if you may need omitted pages later.
Use the tool without installing an app
Select a PDF in a modern desktop or mobile browser. The file is uploaded for server processing, so an internet connection is needed. Guest files expire after 5 minutes and signed-in free-account files after 2 hours; download the result before expiry.
Useful ways to extract PDF pages
Share the relevant material, not an entire document by default. Check that your excerpt still includes the context its reader needs.
Send a report chapter with its references
Include the chapter introduction, its tables and any referenced appendix pages. A chart without its units or explanatory notes can be misleading. If the relevant pages live in different documents, extract each part first and merge the results.
Merge extracted PDFsSeparate invoices from a scanned batch
Identify where each invoice starts and ends, including its continuation pages. Use a range for each complete invoice rather than splitting every page blindly. Extraction does not perform OCR: a scanned invoice remains image-based in the new PDF.
Prepare only the requested application pages
Check the recipient's list of required documents and select the matching pages. Excluding unrequested records reduces unnecessary sharing. Inspect every output before submitting; removing pages is not the same as redacting private details on a page you keep.
Before you share the split files
A successful download is only the first check. Confirm that the packaging, selection and document content match your intended result.
You expected a PDF but received a ZIP
A ZIP is the container for multiple output PDFs or separate-page output. Unzip it to access the documents inside. To get a single PDF excerpt instead, use selected-page extraction rather than a mode that generates separate documents.
The pages need a different reading order
Splitting selects content; it is not a replacement for a page organizer. Use Organize PDF to reorder pages or remove a duplicate from the resulting document. Open the revised file afterwards to check that its sequence is correct.
Reorder PDF pagesA short excerpt is still a large file
A few high-resolution scanned pages can still create a large PDF. Extracting fewer pages does not promise a particular file size. If the recipient has an upload limit, compress the excerpt and then check small text and diagrams for readability.

Frequently asked questions about Split PDF
Practical answers about using this tool, retrieving the result, and handling your files.
Can I extract only selected pages?
Yes. Select the pages you need and create one new PDF containing that selection.
Can I split one PDF into several page ranges?
Yes. Enter ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes a separate PDF result.
Does splitting change my original PDF?
No. LoveMyFiles creates separate output files, so the original PDF on your device remains unchanged.
How are my uploaded files protected?
Files are stored outside the public web directory, and downloads require the matching account or guest job identity. Guest files expire within 5 minutes, free account files within 2 hours.
