Split PDF by range when you need only part of a long document. Specify first and last page numbers, extract that section, and download a smaller PDF—processing runs in your browser.
Range splits are ideal for pulling signature pages or a single chapter without emailing the full document.
Double-check page numbers in your viewer—off-by-one errors are the most common split mistake.

How to use this tool
Upload your PDF, choose range split mode, enter first and last page numbers, then download the extracted section.

Example: split pages 1–3 from a 40-page lease for a landlord review packet while keeping the full file archived.

How it works
Upload a PDF, then split every page into its own file or extract custom page ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10. Each range becomes a separate downloadable PDF. Splitting runs entirely in your browser—files are not uploaded to a server.
Limitations
Page ranges are 1-based. Password-protected PDFs must be decrypted first. Very large files may be slow on low-memory devices.
Privacy and file handling
Your data is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our server.
