Separate specific page ranges or extract pages into independent PDF documents.
Splitting a PDF lets you separate a large document into smaller, focused files — ideal for extracting a chapter, pulling out a specific section, or dividing a multi-part form. Instead of sharing a 200-page document when someone only needs pages 15–22, you send just the relevant portion. This saves time for the recipient and keeps your shared files clean. PDFly splits your document locally in the browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.
You can split by page range (e.g., pages 1–5), by individual page, or by even/odd pages. Select your PDF, choose your split method, configure the ranges, and download the resulting files. Each output is a valid standalone PDF that opens correctly in any reader. The tool shows a preview of page thumbnails so you can verify your selection before splitting, reducing the chance of errors.
If you just want to remove a few unwanted pages rather than extract them, the Delete PDF Pages tool may be simpler and faster. For combining pages back together later, use the Merge PDF tool. For extracting a single page, splitting by range is the quickest approach. The split operation preserves the original quality of every page — no compression or re-encoding happens during the process.
