What it does well

Range syntax

Comma-separated pages and ranges like 2,4-6,10 are parsed and validated against the real page count.

Visual page picker

Toggle pages on a grid, with select all, clear, odd and even shortcuts.

Two export modes

Download one PDF with the selected pages, or a separate file for every selected page.

Precise validation

Out-of-range numbers, reversed ranges and stray characters are explained in plain language.

Who uses it

Professionals
Send only the relevant chapter of a long report instead of the whole file.
Students
Extract the reading pages a lecturer assigned from a large textbook PDF.
Administrators
Split a batch scan into one file per invoice or form.

Writing page ranges

Page ranges use the same convention as most print dialogs. A single number selects one page, a hyphen selects an inclusive range and commas separate items. For example 1-3,5,8-10 selects pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. Spaces are ignored and duplicates are removed. Pages are always exported in ascending order so the result reads naturally.

The range box and the visual grid stay in sync. Typing a range highlights the tiles, and clicking tiles rewrites the range in its shortest form, which makes it easy to check your selection on large documents.

Separate files and browser downloads

When you choose separate files, each page becomes its own PDF named after the original file and the page number. Browsers may ask permission the first time a site downloads several files in a row; allow it to receive them all. Splitting copies pages without re-rendering, so text and images keep their original quality. Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked in their original application first.

Frequently asked questions

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are, so text, vector graphics and images are unchanged.

Can I reorder pages while splitting?

Selected pages are exported in document order. To build a custom order, split into single pages and recombine them with the PDF Merger.

What happens with an invalid range?

Nothing is exported. A message explains the problem, for example that page 14 does not exist in a 12-page file.
