Which pages to take. A range like 2-6, a list like 1,3,8, an open end like 10-, or “all”.

Used to unlock the file in this tab. It is never transmitted.

  • No upload The conversion runs in this tab. Your file never travels — not to us, and not to the advertising.
  • No sign-up, no email, no daily cap There is no account system to sign up to.
  • No size limit we invented Only your device's memory — about ~2 GB on a desktop browser, ~400 MB on a phone.
  • Turn your Wi-Fi off and convert anyway The conversion needs nothing but this page. Ads will not load without a connection; your file will still convert. That is the whole claim, and it takes five seconds to check.

Splits a PDF into separate files. Take every page as its own document, or pull out one section as a single new PDF. Pages are copied rather than redrawn, so nothing is lost, and the work happens in this tab.

Two different jobs

One file per page bursts the document apart. A forty-page report becomes forty PDFs, numbered with leading zeros so they sort correctly — report-01.pdf, not report-1.pdf.

One file containing the selected pages is extraction: pages 12 to 18 come out as a single new document, in that order. This is what you want when you need to send one chapter, one invoice or one signed page rather than the whole file.

Both accept a page range, so you can burst apart only part of a document.

Nothing is re-encoded

Every page is copied as the object it already was. Text stays as text, images keep their original compression, vector artwork stays vector.

This matters because the obvious way to build these tools — render each page to an image and make a new PDF out of the pictures — is much easier and produces a visibly worse file: fuzzy text, no selection, no search, and often ten times the size. Nothing here does that.

The result is that a page which has been through this tool is byte-for-byte as good as it was in the file you started with.

What travels with a page, and what does not

A PDF page carries its own contents — text, fonts, images, vector drawing. All of that moves intact.

Some things belong to the document rather than to any page. Form fields, the outline (bookmarks) sidebar, document-level JavaScript and attachments live at that level, and rebuilding a document from pages does not bring them along. Where the source has any of them, this is said explicitly in the result rather than discovered later.

Annotations — links, comments, highlights — travel with the page they sit on. A link that pointed at a page you removed will still be there, but it will no longer lead anywhere.

Getting the pages you meant

Ranges are written the way you would say them: 4 for one page, 2-6 for a run, 1,3,8 for a list, 10- for everything from ten onwards. They can be combined: 1,4-6,20-.

A page number that does not exist is an error rather than a silent skip, because asking for 1-500 of a ten-page document almost always means you have the wrong file open.

Questions

Are my files uploaded?
No. The work happens in this tab. Turn your Wi-Fi off before you start and it still works — which is the only demonstration worth anything.
How do I extract just one page?
Choose “one file containing the selected pages” and put the page number in the Pages box. You get a single-page PDF named after the original.
Do I get a ZIP?
When the split produces more than one file, yes — with every page also listed individually so you can take just the one you need without unzipping.
Is there a limit on how many files or pages?
Only your device’s memory. There is no server here to run out of capacity, no queue to join and no daily count, because there is nothing on our side that any of those would be protecting.
Is the split page lower quality than the original?
No. It is the same page object, copied. Nothing is rendered, resampled or recompressed.
