Extract the PDF pages you actually need
Split PDF is useful when a large document contains only a few pages you need to send, upload or archive separately. You can extract a selected range or create individual page files without opening a desktop PDF suite.
How to split a PDF
- Select the PDF document.
- Choose the pages or splitting mode you need.
- Run the split operation in the browser.
- Download the extracted PDF file or files.
Common reasons to split a PDF
- Send only the signed or relevant pages of a larger document.
- Separate chapters, invoices or forms that were scanned together.
- Reduce the number of pages before another conversion task.
- Create individual page files for separate upload requirements.
Split versus compress
Removing unnecessary pages can reduce total file size, but it is not the same as compressing the remaining pages. If the extracted PDF is still too large, use Compress PDF.
Privacy
The split operation runs locally in your browser, so the PDF does not need to be uploaded to UVs Tool Hub.
Frequently asked questions
Are PDF files uploaded when I split them?
No. Splitting is handled in your browser.
Can I extract only selected pages?
Yes. Use the page selection controls to create a PDF containing the pages you need.
Can I create one file per page?
Yes. The split workflow can separate pages into individual PDF files.
Does splitting change page quality?
The tool copies source PDF pages rather than intentionally rasterizing them.
