Extract individual pages or specific ranges from your PDF — instantly and privately in your browser.
Select the PDF document you want to split. PDFably instantly reads the file and shows the total page count.
Extract every page as a separate file, or enter specific pages and ranges like '1,3,5-8' to pull out only what you need.
Each extracted page becomes its own PDF file. Download them individually — all processed on your device, never uploaded.
PDF splitting is essential when you need to extract specific information from a larger document. Imagine receiving a 200-page annual report but only needing pages 45-52 for your presentation. Instead of sharing the entire file, you can extract exactly the pages you need.
Legal professionals frequently split contracts to isolate signature pages, specific clauses, or exhibits. Medical offices extract individual patient records from batch-scanned documents. Teachers pull specific chapters or problem sets from textbooks to distribute to students.
PDFably handles all of these scenarios without touching your data. The entire splitting process runs in your browser's memory. When you close the tab, every trace of your documents disappears — there's no server, no cloud storage, and no data trail.
When you split a PDF with PDFably, the tool reads your document's internal structure to identify page boundaries. Each PDF page is a self-contained object with its own content streams, fonts, and images. PDFably creates new PDF documents by copying these page objects from the original — preserving every detail without any re-rendering or quality loss.
This is fundamentally different from tools that 'print' pages to new PDFs, which can degrade quality. PDFably's approach ensures your split pages are byte-for-byte identical to the originals in terms of visual content.
Upload your PDF to PDFably, select 'Extract all pages' mode, and click Split. Each page becomes a separate downloadable PDF file — processed entirely in your browser.
Yes. Choose 'Page range' mode and enter the pages you need, like '1,3,5-8'. PDFably will extract only those pages into separate files.
No. PDFably can split PDFs of any size. Since processing happens on your device, the only limit is your computer's memory.
No. PDFably extracts pages without re-encoding. Every element — text, images, formatting — remains identical to the original.
If the PDF opens without a password, PDFably can split it. If a password is required to open the document, you'll need to unlock it first.
