Split and extract PDF

Split and extract creates a new PDF with only the pages you specify, using single numbers and ranges (for example 2, 4-6). The original file is not changed: you get a new PDF, containing just the selection. All processing runs in your browser, without sending anything to a server.

How it works

Four steps, nothing to install.

The whole job happens on your computer, start to finish.

1

Choose the file

Drag the PDF you want to split into the tool window, or click to pick it.

2

Enter the pages

Type the numbers and ranges you want to keep, for example 1-3, 5, 8.

3

Extract

Press the button. The processing runs on your computer, never on a server.

4

Download

Get the new PDF, with only the pages you chose.

How do I specify the pages I want to extract?

In the pages field, type single numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 5, 8. The tool reads that as pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8.

Does splitting a PDF create several files or just one?

It creates a single new PDF, with all the chosen pages inside it. This tool does not split each page into its own file: it gathers the selection into one document.

Does the original file get changed?

No. The original PDF stays untouched on your computer. The result is a new, independent file, with only the pages you specified.

Is splitting and extracting PDF free?

No. It is part of the Premium plan, 1.99 EUR a month, with the twelve tools and no limits. The only free tool is Compress PDF, up to 10 MB, five times a day. Competitors like iLovePDF and PDF24 give this feature away for free: our argument is local processing at a fixed low price, not being cheaper than free.

Your files never leave the browser. BestPDFInTheWorld processes everything locally: no PDF is sent to a server to split it, and neither for any other tool.
