Split a PDF by Page Range (Example: 1-5, 7-9)
Extract only the pages you need without editing the original file.
Why split PDFs
Splitting helps when you must submit only part of a document. It also reduces file size and removes irrelevant pages.
Range tips that avoid mistakes
Use commas for multiple ranges (e.g., 1-3, 8-10). Always check the preview to confirm the right pages are included.
- •Keep a copy of the original before splitting
- •Check page numbering if the document has a cover page
- •If pages are rotated, fix them before splitting
Local processing benefits
Splitting happens in your browser, so confidential files never leave your device.
