Splitting a PDF lets you break it into smaller files or pull out specific pages to share, print, or archive. Every page: one output file per page, useful for scanned batches of separate documents. By range: for example pages 1-5 and 6-12 as two files, good for chapters or sections. Extract selected pages: keep only the pages you name, such as 2, 7, and 10-12. Delete pages instead: remove the pages you don't want and keep the rest. Open the PDF in a splitting tool. A visual page picker helps when you don't know the page numbers. Choose how to split: by range, by every page, or by selected pages.","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia2.dev.to\u002Fdynamic\u002Fimage\u002Fwidth=1200,height=627,fit=cover,gravity=auto,format=auto\u002Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fs41bn7shisq7rky5ddgd.png",{"headline":14,"body":15,"imageUrl":16,"images":17},"Double-check the page numbers against what you see","Double-check the page numbers against what you see in the document; the number printed on a page can differ from its position in the file.

A browser-based splitter processes the file on your own device, so it never leaves your computer. Frequently asked questions How do I extract a single page from a PDF? Use a split or extract tool and specify just that page number. The tool creates a new PDF containing only that page. Will splitting change the quality of my pages? No. The pages are copied as they are, so text and images keep their quality. Can I split a password-protected PDF? You usually need to remove the password first, using the password itself, and then split the file. What is the difference between splitting and extracting pages?","\u002Fapi\u002Fmedia\u002Fposts\u002Fhow-to-split-a-pdf-into-separate-pages-or-sections-617bc4f1\u002F5.webp",{"local":36},{"headline":39,"body":40,"imageUrl":41,"images":42},"Splitting divides a document into several files.
