How to Split a PDF and Extract Specific Pages

You've downloaded a 200-page industry report but only need pages 12–18. Or you have a combined invoice PDF and need to send each client only their own page. Splitting PDFs is the answer.
What PDF splitting does
PDF splitting extracts a subset of pages from an existing PDF and creates a new document from them. You can:
- Extract a single page
- Extract a page range (e.g. pages 5–20)
- Split a document into individual single-page PDFs
How PDFTools Split works
1. Upload your PDF.
2. Enter the pages you want — for example, "1-5, 8, 12-15".
3. Click Split and download the resulting PDF.
All processing happens in your browser using pdf-lib. The original file is untouched on your device, and no data is sent to any server.
Practical examples
Extracting a chapter from an e-book: You have a 400-page programming book and want to share only the chapter on databases. Enter the page range (e.g. 87-112), split, and share.
Separating invoices: You've scanned 12 invoices into one PDF. Split into individual pages and rename each file for your records.
Preparing a presentation: You have a 50-slide PDF presentation and need to share only the executive summary (pages 1-3) with stakeholders.
