About the Split PDF

Splitting is what you reach for when a recipient should see part of a document but not all of it. Pulling a single exhibit out of a filed bundle, sending a lender the three statement pages they asked for instead of a full year, or separating a scanned batch where several distinct documents ended up in one file.

You choose pages by range, so 1-3, 7, 12-15 is a valid selection, and the extracted pages come out as a proper PDF rather than images. Because the original is never modified, you can run several different extractions from the same source file without re-uploading or re-scanning anything.

It's part of the PDF collection on Toolzy, a growing platform of 135+ free, privacy-first tools built for speed and a great experience on every device.

Also known as: separate, pdf, extract, pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I specify which pages to extract?
Enter page numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 7, 12-15. Pages are extracted in the order the document holds them.
Does splitting remove the pages from my original file?
No. The original file on your device is untouched. Splitting produces a new PDF containing only the pages you selected, so you can extract several different sets from the same source.
Will the extracted pages still be searchable?
Yes. Pages are copied rather than rasterised, so any text layer in the original carries over and the extract remains selectable and searchable.
Can I use this to send only part of a document to a third party?
Yes, and that is a common data-minimisation step under UK GDPR and similar US state privacy laws. Be aware that extracting pages does not remove personal data that appears on the pages you kept — for that, use the Redact PDF tool, which permanently removes the underlying content.
Is my data private?
The Split PDF runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, log or delete, your data stays on your device from start to finish.
Is the Split PDF free?
Yes, the Split PDF is 100% free with no watermarks, no limits and no account needed.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The Split PDF works on any modern browser across desktop, tablet and mobile.
