How to split a PDF and extract selected pages

Before you start

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Open your PDF

   Drop the PDF onto the tool or choose it from your device. Wait for the thumbnail previews to appear. The thumbnail numbers refer to the file order, which may differ from page numbers printed inside the document.

2. 2

   Select the pages you need

   Click the thumbnails you want to export. Use the rotation button if a page is sideways. For a consecutive section, select each page in that section; there is no numeric range input.

3. 3

   Choose the output and order

   Choose separate PDFs to make individual files, or combine the selected pages into one PDF. In the default mode, pages follow their original page-number order. Enable custom order and click the thumbnails in your desired sequence to change that order.

4. 4

   Download and check

   Process the selected pages, give the download a useful filename if needed, and save it. Multiple files are packaged in a ZIP; a single result downloads as a PDF. Open the saved files to check the selected pages and their rotation.

Worked example

Check the result

• Both selected pages are present and readable.
• The page order and rotation match your selection.
• If you downloaded a ZIP, extract it and open each PDF.

Limits and tips

• The tool selects pages visually. It does not accept typed ranges such as 1-5.
• Preview generation can take longer for large documents. If a file fails, try a smaller sample.
• Editing can change signatures, forms, or other PDF features. Keep the original and check any features you rely on.
