How to Split a PDF into Separate Pages

To split a PDF into separate pages, open the PDFEzy Split PDF tool in your browser, upload your file, select the pages or ranges you want to extract, then click Split and download the new files. There is no software to install and your files are never uploaded.

Why split a PDF?

Splitting lets you pull out exactly the pages you need instead of sharing a whole document. It is perfect for sending a single signed page, separating chapters, or breaking a large scan into smaller files.

Common reasons include extracting one invoice from a batch, isolating a contract clause, or trimming a long report down to the section a colleague actually needs.

Step-by-step: split a PDF in your browser

1. Open the Split PDF tool

Go to the Split PDF tool. It loads instantly in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — with nothing to download.

2. Upload your PDF

Drag and drop your PDF onto the page, or click to browse and select it from your device. The file opens directly in the tool.

3. Select the pages or ranges to extract

Pick the individual pages or page ranges you want to pull out — for example, page 1, or pages 3 to 7. You can extract a single page or split into several files at once.

4. Split and download

Click Split. PDFEzy creates the new files locally on your device and gives you the separated pages to download. The whole process takes seconds.

Practical tips

If you only need one page, extract it on its own to keep the file size tiny and easy to email. To go the other direction and join files back together, use the Merge PDF tool.

If your split files still feel large, run them through the Compress PDF tool to shrink them before sharing.

Is it private?

Yes. PDFEzy runs entirely in your browser using client-side code, so your files are processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. When you close the tab, nothing remains.
