Free Split PDF Online — Extract Pages from PDF, No Upload
Extract specific pages or page ranges from any PDF and download as a new file. Use commas and hyphens to specify pages. Free, instant, runs entirely in your browser — no signup.
Skycally's Split PDF tool lets you extract any combination of pages from a PDF and download them as a new document in seconds. Type your page selection using commas for individual pages (1,3,5) or hyphens for ranges (2-6), or combine both (1,3-5,8). A live preview shows exactly which pages will be included before you click Extract.
The tool displays your PDF's total page count immediately after upload, so you always know what's available. Quick example buttons let you load common patterns with a single click — handy for extracting the first few pages, the last section, or alternating pages from a long document.
All splitting is performed locally in your browser using pdf-lib, a JavaScript PDF manipulation library. Your document is never uploaded to any server, making this tool completely private — ideal for extracting pages from contracts, invoices, medical reports, or any other sensitive document you don't want passing through third-party servers.
The resulting PDF is a faithful copy of the selected pages from the original — all text, images, hyperlinks, fonts, and metadata are preserved exactly. The download filename includes your page selection for easy identification when working with multiple splits from the same document.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract non-consecutive pages?
Separate page numbers with commas: e.g. 1,5,8,12. For ranges, use a hyphen: e.g. 3-7. Combine both: 1,3-5,8,10-12.
How do I know how many pages my PDF has?
The total page count is displayed automatically after you upload the file, next to the filename.
Can I split a PDF into multiple separate files?
Run the tool multiple times with different page selections. Each run produces a separate downloaded PDF.
Will the extracted pages keep their original quality?
Yes. Extraction is completely lossless — all content, fonts, images, and formatting are preserved exactly as in the original.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All splitting runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your device.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
The tool attempts to open password-protected PDFs with the ignoreEncryption flag, which works for most restricted (but not fully encrypted) PDFs.
Is there a file size limit?
No enforced limit. Very large PDFs (over 100MB) may be slow to process depending on your device's memory and CPU.
What if I enter an invalid page number?
The tool validates your input and shows an error for invalid selectors. Page numbers outside the document's range are silently ignored.
