Get just the pages you need without uploading the whole document.
You have a 50-page report but only need pages 12-15 for a meeting. Or a 200-page manual where a single chapter is relevant. Sending the whole file wastes the recipient's time and shares information they don't need.
Most PDF splitting tools require uploading your document to a server. For internal reports, client documents, or anything with confidential data, that's an unnecessary risk — especially when you only need a few pages.
Drag your PDF into the split tool. Every page renders as a thumbnail so you can see exactly what you're selecting.
Click individual pages or enter a range (e.g., "5-10, 15, 22-25"). Selected pages are highlighted. Deselect any you don't need.
Click Extract and download a new PDF containing only your selected pages. The original file is unchanged.
Pull relevant pages from a long report to share with colleagues who only need certain sections. No need to send the entire document.
Extract only the non-sensitive pages before sharing externally. Keep salary data, personal details, or confidential sections out of the shared copy.
A 50-page PDF with images might be 20MB. Extract the 3 pages you need and the result could be under 1MB — small enough for email.
Break a combined PDF back into individual documents. Split a multi-invoice file into separate invoices, or a textbook into chapters.
When you extract pages using an online tool, you're uploading the entire document — including all the pages you don't want to share. A 200-page contract with sensitive terms on pages you're not extracting still gets sent to someone else's server.
ModernPDF processes the extraction in your browser. The full document is loaded locally, you select the pages you need, and a new PDF is created — all on your device. The complete document never leaves your computer, even temporarily.
This matters when you're working with legal documents, HR files, financial reports, or anything where even the parts you're not sharing contain information that shouldn't be on a third-party server.
Yes. Select any combination of pages — for example, pages 1, 5, 12-15, and 28. They'll be combined into a single PDF in the order you selected.
No. The extracted pages are identical to the originals. Images, text, fonts, and formatting are preserved exactly as they appear in the source PDF.
They use the same tool. "Split" typically means dividing a PDF into multiple parts. "Extract" means pulling specific pages into a new file. ModernPDF's Split PDF tool handles both — select the pages you want and download them as a new PDF.
The extracted pages maintain their original order. If you need to reorder them, use the Reorder Pages tool after extracting.
No. Extraction creates a new file. Your original PDF remains completely unchanged on your device.
Pull out exactly the pages you need. Free to start. Private. Pro for unlimited use.
