Split mode

Custom page ranges

Type one or more ranges (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10). You get one PDF per range.

Every page as a separate PDF

"Burst" mode. A 20-page input becomes 20 single-page output files.

Extract one range into a single PDF

Pick a single range (e.g. 3-7) and get one PDF containing just those pages.

Page ranges

Use page numbers separated by commas. Hyphens for ranges. Negative numbers count from the end (-1 = last page).

How it works

It reads the PDF, then copies the page ranges you specify into one or more new PDFs. Pages are preserved bit-for-bit — no rendering, no rasterization, no quality loss. Metadata is stripped from each output.
