How to split a PDF online
- Upload the PDF you want to divide.
- Click the page thumbnails you need, or use Select All.
- Choose Extract to 1 PDF for a single file, or Split to Separate PDFs for one file per page.
Why split a PDF
Sending a 90-page report when someone asked for the two-page summary wastes their time and exposes information they never needed. Extracting the relevant pages keeps the disclosure narrow, makes the attachment small enough to email, and gives you clean per-document files when a scanner has bundled several receipts or invoices into one PDF.
About extract versus separate files
The two buttons do different things. Extract gathers every page you selected into one new PDF, in page order. Split produces one PDF per selected page and starts a separate download for each, so a ten-page selection triggers ten downloads rather than a ZIP archive — your browser may ask permission to download multiple files. Both run locally, and both build new documents, so links pointing at pages you left behind can stop resolving.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I split a PDF online for free without uploading it?
- Yes. This free online PDF splitter selects and creates pages locally in your browser, so the source document stays on your device and no credit is required.
- What is the difference between extract and split?
- Extract combines all selected pages into one new PDF. Split creates one PDF for each selected page and starts separate browser downloads; it does not package them into a ZIP file.
- Are bookmarks and links preserved in split files?
- Each output is rebuilt from copied pages. Document-level bookmarks, named destinations, and forms are not explicitly recreated, and links that point to omitted pages can break. Review navigation in documents that depend on those features.
- Does splitting rasterise or lower the quality of pages?
- No intentional rasterisation or image downsampling is applied. The selected pages are copied into new PDFs, although complex interactive PDF features may not carry over.
