Extract pages or split PDF into separate files. 100% private, no uploads, no limits.
A 200-page PDF when you only need pages 12–18. A combined scan when you need individual files. PDFree's split tool lets you select exactly which pages to keep and download them as separate files or a single new PDF — processed locally, no upload.
Click Choose files or drag your PDF into the drop zone. The page thumbnails render in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Click the pages you want to keep, or enter a range like 1-5, 8, 11-15. Use the quick-select buttons to grab odd pages, even pages, or halves of the document.
Click Split PDF. Choose to get a single merged PDF of your selected pages, or each page as a separate file in a ZIP archive.
A 60-page annual report, but you only need the financial tables on pages 22–31. Split to extract just those pages for sharing with your accountant.
A single scan contains 12 different invoices. Split each invoice page into its own PDF for uploading to your accounting system.
Many PDF exports add a cover page or blank final page. Split to exclude those pages and keep only the actual content.
Textbooks shared as single PDFs can be split chapter by chapter for focused reading or printing without printing the entire book.

Yes. Use the 'Split all pages' option to get every page as its own PDF file. They download as a ZIP archive named with their page numbers.
Split is designed for selecting and downloading multiple page groups. Extract is a simpler tool focused on pulling out a specific page range into one new PDF. Both do similar things — use whichever fits your workflow.
No. Pages are copied at the PDF object level — images, fonts, and vector graphics are preserved identically. Splitting does not re-render or re-compress anything.
No server-side limit. The practical limit is your browser's available memory. PDFs with hundreds of pages and high-resolution images may require a few seconds to render thumbnails.
