Split PDF Online Free
Extract the pages you need into a new PDF.
You do not need the whole document when you only need a few pages. This free tool splits a PDF by page range right in your browser. Type the pages you want, like 1-3 and 5, and it builds a new PDF with just those pages. Nothing is uploaded, so tax forms, contracts, and school papers stay on your device. It is handy for sending one chapter, pulling the pages a form asks for, or trimming a long report down to what matters.

About Split PDF
Rarely does anyone need the whole PDF. You want to email a client chapter 3, not the 200-page report. You want to submit one schedule from your tax return, not the entire filing. Splitting extracts just the pages you choose into a new, clean PDF, smaller to send, faster to open, and free of the parts nobody was meant to see.
You describe the pages in a simple format: single numbers and ranges separated by commas, like "1-3, 5, 8-10." Page numbering starts at 1, and the extracted pages come out in order in the new file. Need just one page? Type its number alone. The new PDF is built entirely in your browser, so the contents of your document never travel anywhere.
Splitting is also a privacy tool. Before attaching a document to an email, ask whether the recipient needs every page, removing the rest is the simplest redaction there is. One limitation: it processes one file at a time, so batch jobs mean a few repeated runs. After each download, open the new file and confirm the page count matches what you expected.

Tips for best results
- Use the "1-3, 5, 8-10" syntax: commas separate groups, dashes define ranges, numbering starts at 1.
- Extract a single page by typing just its number, no range needed.
- Splitting is a privacy move: send only the pages someone needs instead of the whole document.
- Run the PDF Page Counter first so you know the valid page numbers before typing a range.
- Pages come out in ascending order, sort your list before entering it.
- Open the downloaded file and verify the page count matches what you asked for.
