Split PDF — Extract Pages from PDF Online Free

Extract Pages from Any PDF Instantly

Need just a few pages from a large PDF? MyPDF's Split PDF tool lets you extract specific pages, split by page ranges, or separate every page into individual files — all for free.

How to Split a PDF

Step 1: Upload Your PDF

Go to the Split PDF tool and upload the PDF you want to split.

Step 2: Choose How to Split

Select your splitting method:

• Extract pages — Choose specific pages (e.g., 1, 3, 5-8)


• Split by range — Define page ranges (e.g., 1-5, 6-10)


• Split every page — Each page becomes a separate PDF

Step 3: Download

Download your split PDFs. If you extracted multiple ranges, they come as separate files or a ZIP archive.

Common Reasons to Split PDFs

• Extract a chapter from a textbook or manual

• Share only relevant sections of a long report
• Reduce file size by keeping only the pages you need
• Separate scanned documents that were scanned as one batch
• Create handouts from a larger presentation PDF

Tips for Best Results

1. Preview pages first — Thumbnails help you identify the right pages before splitting
2. Use page ranges for consecutive pages — Faster than selecting individual pages
3. Merge after splitting — Use Merge PDF to recombine pages in a new order
4. Compress the result — Split PDFs may benefit from compression
5. Need to reorder pages? — Try Reorder PDF instead
