Split PDF

Pull out just the pages you need, or break a long PDF into smaller files. Pages are copied exactly, so nothing loses quality.

How to use it

  1. Tap “Select PDF” and choose your file. Each page appears as a thumbnail.
  2. Choose how to split: “Extract” (tap the pages you want), “Every page”, or “Ranges” (type something like 1-3, 5, 8-10).
  3. Tap the split button. Extracting makes one new PDF; the other modes make several, bundled as a ZIP.
  4. Tap “Download” to save the result.

Why split a PDF?

Scanning everything in one go is quick, but forms often want each document separately — the marksheet in one box, the caste certificate in another. Splitting also helps when you need to send only one month of a bank statement, a single chapter of notes, or just the pages that matter so the file fits a size limit.

Three ways to split

ModeWhat you getExample
ExtractOne new PDF with the pages you tapPages 2 and 5 of a 10-page scan
Every pageOne PDF per page, in a ZIPA 12-page bundle becomes 12 files
RangesOne PDF per range, in a ZIP“1-3, 4, 7-10” makes 3 files

When typing ranges, separate them with commas. Spaces are fine, and “7-” means “page 7 to the end”. The tool checks the ranges as you type and highlights the pages they include.

Every new file is named after your original plus the pages it holds — for example statement_pages-1-3.pdf or statement_page-4.pdf — so it's easy to pick the right one in each upload box. Your original PDF isn't changed.

Nothing is re-compressed

Pages are copied into the new files exactly as they are, so text stays sharp and selectable and images keep their quality. The only exception is a protected PDF (one with copy/edit restrictions or a password): its pages are saved as high-quality images, and the tool tells you before you start.

What to do next

  • A split file still too big for the portal? Shrink it with Compress PDF.
  • Need to remove only a few pages and keep the rest together? Delete PDF Pages is quicker.
  • Want to combine pages from different files? Split them, then join the parts with Merge PDF.
  • Need a page as a picture? Use PDF to JPG.

Private by design

Splitting happens inside your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded, so marksheets, IDs and statements stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract one page from a PDF?

Select your PDF, keep “Extract” chosen, tap the page you want and tap “Extract 1 page”. You get a new one-page PDF; the original file isn't changed.

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?

Choose “Every page” and tap “Split”. Each page becomes its own PDF, named like statement_page-1.pdf, and they download together as a ZIP.

What does a range like 1-3, 5, 8- mean?

Each comma-separated part becomes one PDF: pages 1 to 3, page 5 on its own, and page 8 to the last page. Ranges can overlap if you need the same page in two files.

Will splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?

No. Pages are copied exactly as they are, without re-compressing anything, so text stays selectable and scans look identical. Only protected PDFs are saved as page images, and the tool warns you first.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Yes. Enter the password when asked — it's used only on your device. The new PDFs don't need a password, and their pages are saved as images because the original is encrypted.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your phone or computer and nothing is stored on our servers.
