How to use the Split PDF

- Enter the from and to page numbers
- Click Convert and download the new PDF
About this tool
Need just a few pages from a long document? Enter the first and last page and download a new PDF that contains only that range. Your original file is not changed.
How the page range works
Enter the first and last page you want. Both pages are included, so 3 to 5 gives three pages. To extract a single page, use the same number in both boxes. The result is a new PDF, and your original file is not changed.
Extracting several ranges
The tool extracts one range at a time. To get several separate sections, run it again with a different range each time and download each file.
Common uses
- Send one signed page instead of a whole contract.
- Pull a chapter out of a long report or e-book.
- Share only the pages that are relevant to a colleague.
You can put pages from different PDFs back together with Merge PDF.
Privacy and limits
Files are processed inside your browser and are not uploaded to FormatVolt. Each file can be up to 50 MB. Very large images or PDFs can fail on devices with little memory, so try a smaller file or a desktop browser if that happens.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There are no limits, watermarks or sign-ups.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Can I extract single pages?
Yes. Enter the same number in both fields.
Is the original file changed?
No. You get a new PDF and the original stays untouched.
What happens if I enter a page number that is too high?
If the last page is beyond the end of the file, the tool stops at the final page. If the first page is beyond the end, it shows an error with the real page count.
Can I split a PDF into many files at once?
Not in a single step. Extract one range at a time and repeat for each section you need.
