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 on your device.

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.

Worked example

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

When to use this

  • Extracting signature pages from a long contract.
  • Pulling one chapter from a report.
  • Creating a smaller attachment under email limits.

Common examples

  • Extract pages 1–3 from a 40-page lease for a landlord review packet.
  • Split a scanned packet so each chapter becomes its own file for email size limits.
  • Pull appendix pages out of a report before compressing the main document.
  • 100-page manual → extract pages 40–55 as a standalone training excerpt.
  • Tax scan with mixed years → split so each year is its own file for archiving.

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 works on your device—files are not uploaded or stored. Handy for sharing one chapter, invoice, or signed page without sending the full document.

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 stays on your device and is not uploaded.
