Open Split PDFExtract the pages you need instantly. Free to start.
Your PDF never leaves your device. Page extraction happens locally in your browser — no server involved.
Extract a page range, pick specific pages, or split into individual files. Preview pages before extracting.
No upload queue. No processing wait. Your split PDF is ready the moment you click the button.
Drop your file into the tool or click to browse. The page thumbnails load instantly for preview.
Select a range (e.g., pages 3-7), pick individual pages, or split the entire document into separate files.
Get your extracted pages as a new PDF file. The original document remains completely untouched.
Your document stays on your device the entire time. No upload, no server processing, no waiting. Select your pages, split, and download the result immediately.
Free users get 3 splits per day. That handles most one-off needs — pulling a chapter from a textbook, extracting a single form from a packet, or separating a combined scan into individual documents.
When you split a PDF using a server-based tool, the entire document — including every page you don't need — gets uploaded. A 50-page contract goes to a remote server just so you can extract page 12.
With ModernPDF, only your browser touches the file. The split operation reads the PDF structure, extracts the pages you selected, and assembles a new file. Your original document never leaves your device, and neither does the output.
This matters most when the document is sensitive — legal agreements, financial statements, medical records. Splitting locally means no third party ever has access to the full document.
Yes. You can select any combination of pages — for example, pages 1, 3, and 7-10. The extracted pages are combined into a single new PDF in the order you chose.
No. The original PDF is read-only during the split operation. You download a new file containing only the extracted pages. The source document is never modified.
There's no page limit per file. Free users can split PDFs of any length, up to 10MB file size. The limit is 3 split operations per day.
You'll need to unlock the PDF first using our Unlock PDF tool, then split the unlocked version. This also runs entirely in your browser.
Yes. Split pages retain all original formatting, embedded fonts, images, annotations, and form fields exactly as they appear in the source document. The extraction is completely lossless with no reprocessing, recompression, or quality degradation of any kind.
Free to start. Files stay on your device. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited use.
