Use the file’s page count
A report may print Roman numerals on introductory pages or start its own numbering later. The tool uses the physical page positions in the PDF. Check those positions in your PDF viewer before entering a range.

A practical example
Extract pages 1 and 3–5 from a document
The selection “1, 3-5” creates a four-page PDF containing source pages 1, 3, 4 and 5 in that order. Source page positions can differ from page numbers printed on the document.
- Open the PDF and enter the pages or ranges you need.
- Check the selected pages, extract them and download the new PDF.
The original file is unchanged. Confirm the extracted copy contains the intended pages before sending it.

Extract the pages you need into a new PDF. Your original document stays unchanged.
How to use the split pdf
- Choose a PDF. Select one unencrypted PDF from your device.
- Enter pages or ranges. Use 1, 3-5 for pages one, three, four and five. You can change the order, for example 3, 1-2.
- Download the selection. The selected pages become one new PDF. Your original file stays unchanged.
Make the next step easier
Share less paperwork, with more clarity.
Extracting pages lets you send just the part of a document that someone needs. Always review the new PDF before attaching it to an email or a message.
Keep a section in its reading order
For a continuous section, enter a range such as 6-12. For selected sections, use a comma, such as 2, 6-12. Enter 8, 1-3 if you want page eight to come first in the new document.
Separate the document from its attachments
A large pack may include several unrelated forms or receipts. Extract the pages for one task and give the downloaded file a clear name so the recipient knows what it contains.
Extraction is not redaction
Removing whole pages does not erase sensitive text from a page you keep. Hidden content on selected pages can remain. Use a proper redaction tool when information within a page must be permanently removed.
Split PDF questions
Is this free without signing up?
Yes. There is no account, email gate, watermark or paid download. The limits shown in the tool keep processing manageable on your device. You can start another batch when you finish.
Are my files uploaded or saved?
No. File conversion happens in this browser tab. Your selected files and their contents are not sent to a Sysevo conversion server or saved to your account. Download the result before closing the tab. Normal website analytics may still record page visits.
How do page ranges work?
Use page numbers as they appear in the file, starting at 1. Separate choices with commas. For example, 1, 3-5 extracts four pages. The output follows your entered order and includes repeated pages only once. Use a dash between the first and last page of a range.
Does this create a separate file for every page?
This version creates one PDF containing your selection. To create separate files, extract one range, download it, then change the selection and extract again.
Which PDFs can I use?
Use ordinary, unencrypted PDF documents. Password-protected, damaged or unusually complex files may not work. Each file can be up to 20 MB, with up to 50 MB and 300 pages in a batch. Interactive forms, bookmarks, attachments and digital signatures are not preserved as working features. Use an unsigned copy and check the downloaded pages before sending.
