PDF Split & Extract
Separate, extract, split in half or every N pages, or remove pages — all in your browser.
Split or separate a PDF into individual pages or multiple files — extract or remove pages too. Free and private: runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.
About PDF Split & Extract
Separate PDF (the PDF Split and Extract tool) breaks one PDF into smaller files right in your browser, showing a thumbnail of every page so you can see exactly what you are pulling apart. Every method is here: extract selected pages, type page ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10, split every N pages, split evenly into a chosen number of files (including split in half), or remove and delete the pages you do not want — and each result can be saved as one combined PDF or as separate files bundled in a .zip. Quick Select all, Odd, Even, Invert, and Clear buttons make grabbing every odd or every even page of a double-sided scan a single tap, and an optional strip-metadata switch clears the title, author, and dates from the output. It runs 100% on your device using pdf-lib and pdf.js, so your PDF is never uploaded — no signup, no watermark, no page limits, completely free.
How to use PDF Split & Extract
- Load your PDF — drop it onto the page or click browse. The file stays on your device (up to 100 MB), and a thumbnail of every page renders in a grid.
- Pick a mode: Extract selected, Page ranges, Every N pages, Split evenly, or Remove selected.
- Tell it which pages — tap the page thumbnails for Extract or Remove (use Select all, Odd, Even, Invert, or Clear to select fast), type ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 for Page ranges, set pages-per-file for Every N pages, or choose how many files (or tap In half) for Split evenly.
- For Extract or Page ranges, choose the output: One merged PDF, or Separate PDFs (.zip) to get one file per page or per range.
- Optionally tick Strip document metadata to remove the title, author, and dates from the result.
- Click Extract, Build, Remove, or Download all — a single file downloads directly, while a multi-file split arrives as one .zip.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I separate the pages of a PDF?
- Load the PDF, then pick how to break it up. To pull out particular pages, use Extract selected and tap their thumbnails; to keep a block of pages, use Page ranges and type something like 1-3, 5, 8-10; to slice a long document into equal chunks, use Every N pages or Split evenly. Each result downloads as a new PDF, or as separate files bundled in a .zip.
- How do I split a PDF into multiple separate files?
- You have three ways. Every N pages splits the whole document into fixed-size pieces (for example every 2 pages) and bundles them into one .zip. Split evenly divides it into a number of equal-sized files you choose. And in Extract or Page ranges you can switch the output to Separate PDFs (.zip) to get one file per selected page or per range instead of a single combined PDF.
- Can I split a PDF in half?
- Yes. Choose Split evenly and either tap the In half button or set the number of files to 2. The tool divides the document into two equal-sized PDFs (the extra page goes to the first file when the total is odd) and downloads them together in a .zip. For three or four equal parts tap 3 files or 4 files, or type any number.
- How do I extract only certain pages?
- Use Extract selected and click the page thumbnails you want — the Select all, Odd, Even, Invert, and Clear buttons help you pick quickly. Then choose One merged PDF to combine them into a single file in page order, or Separate PDFs (.zip) to save each chosen page as its own PDF. Page ranges does the same from typed input like 2, 4-6, 9.
- How do I delete or remove pages from a PDF?
- Switch to Remove selected, tap the pages you want gone, and click Remove and Download. The tool keeps every other page and saves the rest as one PDF — the pages you selected are dropped, so it is the exact mirror of extracting. Use Invert if it is easier to select the pages you want to keep and then flip the selection.
- How do I get all the odd or all the even pages?
- In Extract selected (or Remove selected) tap the Odd or Even button. Odd grabs pages 1, 3, 5 and so on; Even grabs 2, 4, 6 and so on. This is the quick fix for a double-sided scan that landed all the fronts and backs in one file — extract the odd and even pages separately, or use Invert to flip whatever you have selected.
- Is my PDF uploaded, and is this private?
- No upload happens. The PDF is opened, split, and rebuilt entirely in your browser with pdf-lib and pdf.js, and even the page-rendering worker is served locally rather than from a CDN, so nothing about your file ever leaves your device. You can also tick Strip document metadata to clear the title, author, and dates from whatever you download.
- Is it free, and are there page limits or watermarks?
- It is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no page limits on the output. The only practical caps are a 100 MB file size and a 500-page thumbnail grid, but Page ranges, Every N pages, and Split evenly still operate on the whole document beyond that thumbnail cap. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked in your PDF viewer first, since encrypted files cannot be opened.
