The Power of Splitting PDFs: How to Extract Pages from a PDF

Have you ever had a massive PDF but only needed to share a few specific pages? Or perhaps you need to break a large report into individual chapters? Splitting a PDF is the answer, and it's an essential skill for efficient document management.

When Should You Split a PDF?

Splitting PDFs is incredibly useful in many scenarios:

• Extracting a Single Chapter or Section: Isolate a chapter from a book or a specific section from a report to share with colleagues.
• Separating Invoices or Receipts: If you have a single PDF containing multiple invoices, you can split it into individual files for easier accounting.
• Submitting Applications: Many job or school applications require you to upload specific pages, not the entire document.
• Reducing File Size: If you only need a portion of a large document, splitting it can create a much smaller, more manageable file.

How to Split a PDF Using Our Tool

Our free online PDF splitter makes the process quick and painless. You have two powerful options:

1. Extract Specific Pages (Custom Range)

This option is perfect when you need a custom selection of pages, even if they aren't consecutive.

• Navigate to our Split PDF tool.
• Upload your PDF.
• Choose the "Split by range" option.
• In the text box, enter the pages you want. For example: 1-3, 5, 9-11. This would create a new PDF containing pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, and 11.
• Click "Split" and your new PDF is ready!

2. Split into Fixed Files

This is great for breaking a document into equal parts, like chapters or sections of a specific length.

• Navigate to our Split PDF tool.
• Upload your PDF.
• Choose the "Fixed ranges" option.
• Enter the number of pages you want in each split file (e.g., entering 2 will create multiple PDFs, each containing two pages).
• Click "Split" and download a ZIP file containing all your new documents.
