Click the pages you want to keep (or type a page range like &#8220;1-3, 5, 8&#8221;), then click Extract. The output PDF contains only your selected pages.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we do not upload your PDF<\/h2>\n<p>When you split a PDF, you are often working with a sensitive document and trying to isolate specific pages to share. The last thing you want is the entire document passing through someone else&#8217;s server. This tool runs in your browser tab. The full PDF stays on your machine. Only the pages you select end up in the output file.<\/p>\n<h2>Common questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Can I extract a single page?<\/strong> Yes. Select one page and click Extract to get a single-page PDF.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I rearrange pages?<\/strong> Use <a href=\"\/reorder-pdf-pages\/\">Reorder PDF Pages<\/a> when the output order needs to change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does it work with scanned PDFs?<\/strong> Yes. The splitter copies page data directly. It does not re-render or re-compress anything. A scanned page comes out exactly as it went in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a page limit?<\/strong> No hard limit, but rendering thumbnails for very large PDFs (100+ pages) uses significant memory. The extraction itself is fast regardless of page count.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"df-related\" aria-label=\"Related tools\">\n<h2>Related tools<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/merge-pdf\/\">Merge PDF<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/extract-pdf-pages\/\">Extract PDF Pages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/rotate-pdf\/\">Rotate PDF<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/compress-pdf\/\">Compress PDF<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/pdf-to-jpg\/\">PDF to JPG<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extract the pages you need from a PDF without uploading the document.
