Split a PDF by page range

Splitting by page range gives you precise control: instead of breaking every page apart, you carve the document into the exact sections you need. With custom ranges selected below, enter comma-separated groups — for example "1-3, 4-6, 7-10" — and each group becomes its own PDF, so a 10-page file turns into three files of 3, 3 and 4 pages. This is ideal for separating chapters, splitting a bundle of invoices into one file per invoice, or pulling distinct sections out of a report. Ranges can be any size and can skip pages you do not list, so "2-4, 9-12" extracts only those two sections. Every page keeps its original quality and order, and the resulting files arrive together in a zip. The split runs entirely in your browser, so the document is never uploaded — free, with no signup and no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

What format should the ranges be in?
Comma-separated groups, like "1-3, 4-6, 7". Each group becomes one output PDF; a single number like "7" is a one-page file.
Do I have to cover every page?
No. Pages you do not list are simply left out, so "2-4, 9-12" produces just those two files and ignores the rest.
