PDF TOOL

Split PDF online.

Splitting a PDF lets you share only the pages someone needs rather than an entire document. Select a page range and create a new PDF containing those pages. No sign-up required.

Select PDF documents up to 30 MB each.

🔒 Your PDF files are processed in your browser, not uploaded to ToolNest. The PDF processing library is downloaded from jsDelivr when you use this tool, so an internet connection is required.

How to use Split PDF

  1. Select a PDF from your device.
  2. Enter the page range to extract, such as 2-5.
  3. Process the document and download the new PDF.

Practical example

From a 20-page manual, extract pages 6 through 9 to share a four-page section with a colleague.

Important limitations

Page numbers begin at 1. Encrypted or damaged documents may not load, and the selected range must fit within the original page count.

Frequently asked questions

Does splitting remove pages from the original?

No. A new PDF is created and the original document remains unchanged.

Can I select nonconsecutive pages?

Use the Extract PDF Pages tool to select a list such as 1,3,5-7.

Are printed page numbers always accurate?

No. Count positions in the PDF viewer; covers and front matter may affect printed numbering.

Can I keep the original document?

Yes. Splitting creates a separate output, so retain the source file.
