Split a PDF by Page Ranges Online Free

When a PDF is too large to share or you only need certain chapters, splitting saves time. The Split PDF tool lets you carve out exactly the pages you want. This online PDF page extractor can divide your document into separate files by page range in seconds.

Step-by-step: Split a PDF by page ranges online

  1. Open the Split PDF tool.
  2. Type ranges like 1-3,7,9-12 to define the pages you need.
  3. Use single numbers for lone pages; the preview updates so you can verify each selection.
  4. Click Split PDF to process the document.
  5. Download the ZIP file and extract your individual PDFs.

Compared with Smallpdf or iLovePDF, pdfjuggler splits PDFs entirely in your browser with unlimited ranges, while the others upload files to their servers and limit how many splits you can do for free.

Enter ranges like 1-3,7,9-12 to create separate files for each block. Use single numbers for individual pages. The tool previews each selection so you know what will be exported.

Extra control

Need to remove pages first? Trim the document with the Remove Pages tool. After splitting you can merge selected pieces back together or compress them for email.

Splitting by range keeps long reports or ebooks manageable and shareable without sending the entire document. For more PDF tricks, see how to organize and rotate pages or merge PDFs on mobile.
