How to Split a PDF or Extract Specific Pages
You rarely need to send someone an entire 50-page PDF when only pages 3–5 matter. Splitting lets you pull exactly the pages you want into a fresh document — quickly, and without uploading the original anywhere.

Open the tool →Extract vs. delete
Splitting keeps the pages you choose. If instead you want to remove a page and keep everything else, the Organize pages tool lets you delete pages visually and save the remainder.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
- You can pull a continuous range easily; for scattered pages, extract each range, or use Organize pages to delete the ones you don’t want.
- Does the original file change?
- No — you download a brand-new file, and your original stays untouched.
- Is it private?
- Yes — everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
