Split PDF

📄

One PDF file

Leave it as ranges like 2-4, or single pages like 7. “8-” means page 8 to the end.

No file handy? — generated on this device, nothing uploaded.

🔒 Private by design: Your files never leave your device — everything runs locally in your browser. No uploads, no server, no copies left behind.

Sometimes you need one chapter, not the whole manual; one signed page, not the forty-page contract. This tool extracts exactly the pages you name into a new PDF — or breaks a document into single-page files — without touching the original, and without uploading anything.

Two ways to split

Extract copies the pages you specify into one new PDF, in the order you list them — so “3, 1” genuinely gives you page 3 followed by page 1, which makes the tool a quiet page-reorderer as well. Ranges are inclusive, and an open range like “8-” runs to the last page. Every page separately produces one PDF per page, bundled into a .zip so you download them all at once.

Copied, not re-rendered

Pages move between documents at the document level (the same pdf-lib machinery as the Merge tool), so extracted pages are identical to the originals — text remains text, images keep their resolution, and file size shrinks in honest proportion to the pages you kept.

Private by design

Like every CalcViso file tool, this one runs entirely in your browser. The file you choose is read by this page, processed on your device, and offered back as a download — it is never uploaded to a server, never stored, and never seen by anyone else. Close the tab and it is gone from memory.

Worked example

Load the sample PDF (4 pages) and extract “1-2”: the download is a 2-page PDF holding exactly sample pages 1 and 2. Then switch to “Every page as its own PDF” and split again — the zip holds page-1.pdf through page-4.pdf.

How to use this tool

  1. Drop your PDF onto the box (or use the sample).
  2. Choose Extract, and type the pages you want — ranges 1-3, singles 5, open-ended 8-…
  3. …or choose “Every page as its own PDF” to split the whole file at once.
  4. Press Split PDF and download the new PDF (or the .zip of singles).

Removing pages

To delete pages rather than keep them, extract everything except the unwanted ones: for a 20-page file without pages 4 and 9, extract “1-3, 5-8, 10-20”. The result is the same document minus those pages, in original quality.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract pages out of order?
Yes — pages appear in the new file in exactly the order you list them, so “5, 1-3” works and reorders as it extracts.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied at the document level, not converted to images, so the extracted PDF is pixel-identical to the source pages.
What happens to bookmarks and links in an extracted PDF?
In-page content carries over. Document-level extras like the outline/bookmark tree and named destinations are not rebuilt in the extracted file.
