A new document with only those pages, copied exactly — same quality, same layout.

- No account, no page limit, no watermark
About the PDF format
Splitting a PDF means creating a new document from a selection of pages of an existing one. It is the everyday answer to everyday situations: a form that asks for one specific page of a long document, a bank statement where only one month matters, a contract where only the signature page needs to go to the other party. The pages you keep are copied exactly — text, images, and layout identical to the original.
About the PDF format
The result is a standard PDF containing exactly the pages you listed, in the order they appear in the original document. Nothing is recompressed or altered. One honest note, same as for merging: interactive form fields from the source can become fixed (non-editable) in the extracted file, while everything visible stays exactly as it was.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep only one page of a PDF?
Type just that page number in the pages box — for example 5 — and convert. The new PDF contains page 5 only, exactly as it appears in the original.
A website asks me for one page of a long document. Is this the tool?
Yes — that is the most common use. Extract the page (or pages) the site asks for and upload the small result instead of the full document. It is also better for your privacy: the rest of the document stays with you.
Are my documents uploaded to a server?
Never. The split happens in your browser with pdf-lib. Your PDF is read and rebuilt on your own device; we cannot see, store, or share it.
Does splitting reduce the quality of the pages?
No. Pages are copied into the new file exactly as they are, without recompression — the extracted PDF is identical to the original, page for page.
