A Powerful Tool for Every Need
Extract a Custom Range of Pages
Perfect for when you only need to send the important parts of a large document, like a contract's signature page or specific sections. Click on page thumbnails to select them or use range input like "2-5, 8, 11-13" for power users.
Split Every Page into Separate Files
One-click solution to automatically split every page of your PDF into individual files. The tool generates a ZIP file containing all pages as separate PDFs (e.g., document-page-1.pdf, document-page-2.pdf).
Split by Fixed Range (Advanced)
Split your PDF into multiple files with a fixed number of pages each. For example, "Split every 2 pages" would turn a 10-page PDF into five 2-page PDFs. Perfect for organizing scanned books or reports into chapters.
