Pull specific pages out of a PDF, or split it into separate files — done locally in your browser.

How your data is handled: everything above runs inside this browser tab; your file is never uploaded. Loads a small PDF engine on first use, then works offline.
Whether you need one page out of a scanned contract or want to break a long report into chapters, this tool reads and splits the PDF entirely in your browser — no upload, no wait for a server queue.
How to use it
- Drop a PDF to see every page as a thumbnail.
- Select the pages you want, or set a page range.
- Choose to extract one file, or split into one file per page.
- Download the result — a single PDF, or a zip if you split into several.
Tips & edge cases
- Selecting pages by range (e.g. 3-7, 12) is faster than clicking each thumbnail for long documents.
- Splitting into one-file-per-page is useful for archiving scans, but generates a lot of small files — use the range/extract mode if you only need a section.
- Page numbering in the thumbnail grid always matches the PDF's physical page order, not any printed page numbers inside the document.
FAQ
- Can I extract non-contiguous pages, like 1, 4, and 9?
- Yes — select individual thumbnails or type a comma-separated list and range together, e.g. '1,4,9-12'.
- Does splitting affect page quality?
- No — pages are copied out as-is, with no re-rendering or recompression.
- Is my document uploaded to generate the thumbnails?
- No — pdf.js renders every thumbnail locally in the browser; the file is never sent anywhere.
