Quick answer

A PDF splitter separates a PDF into smaller files or extracts only the pages you want. YaliKit runs 100% in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and you can click page thumbnails or type ranges like '1-5, 7, 10-15' to extract pages into one combined PDF, split every N pages, or separate each page and download them as a ZIP.

Why Use Split PDF?

Extract Into One New PDF

Pick the pages you want and download them as a single, clean PDF, in order. Most splitters only give you a pile of one-page files; here 'One combined PDF' is the recommended, one-click option, exactly what 'extract pages to a new PDF' should mean.

Precise Page Selection

Click thumbnails to select exactly the pages you need. Enter page ranges like '1-5, 7, 10-15' for quick selection. See visual previews of every page before splitting.

Complete Privacy

Your PDFs are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Files never leave your device, are never uploaded to servers, and can't be accessed by anyone - including us.

Instant Processing

Split PDFs in seconds, not minutes. No waiting for uploads or server processing. Even large documents with hundreds of pages split almost instantly.

Flexible Download Options

Download extracted pages as a ZIP archive containing separate PDFs, or download each page individually. Choose the format that works best for your workflow.

When to Split PDFs

Common scenarios for PDF splitting

Extract Chapters

Pull specific chapters from textbooks, manuals, or reports. Extract just the sections you need without keeping the entire document.

Print Specific Pages

Extract only the pages you need to print instead of wasting paper. Perfect for forms, certificates, or specific sections of larger documents.

Email Attachments

Split large PDFs into smaller pieces that fit within email attachment limits. Share only relevant pages instead of entire documents.

Document Organization

Break apart combined documents into organized individual files. Separate invoices, receipts, or contracts that were scanned together.

How It Works

1

Upload Your PDF

Drag and drop your PDF file into the upload area, or click to browse. Your file is processed locally - nothing is uploaded to any server.

2

Select Pages to Extract

Click page thumbnails, enter page ranges (1-5, 7, 10), or choose 'Split Every Page' to separate the entire document. Selected pages are highlighted.

3

Extract or Split, Then Download

Click 'Extract & Download' and choose 'One combined PDF' to get your selected pages as a single new file, or pick a ZIP / individual PDFs to get each page as its own file.

Pro Tips

Quick Selection

Click 'Select All' then deselect pages you don't need. This is faster than selecting many individual pages.

Range Syntax

Use commas for individual pages (1, 3, 5) and dashes for ranges (1-5). Combine both: '1-5, 7, 10-15' extracts pages 1 through 5, page 7, and pages 10 through 15.

One PDF vs ZIP vs Individual

Want your pages kept together? Choose 'One combined PDF' (recommended). It's the usual 'extract pages' need. Choose ZIP when you want every page as its own separate file in one download, or individual downloads for just a couple of pages.

Password Protected

If your PDF is password protected, use our Unlock PDF tool first, then split the unlocked version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload your PDF, stay in 'Select Pages' mode, and click the thumbnails of the pages you want (or type a range like '1-5, 8'). Click 'Split & Download' and choose 'One combined PDF': your selected pages are copied, in order, into a single new PDF you can download. This is the option most people actually want when they search 'extract pdf pages to a new pdf', and it's the recommended choice here.
Yes. Choose 'Every N Pages' mode and set the number (say 2) and the tool splits your PDF into consecutive chunks of that many pages. A 10-page PDF split every 2 pages gives you 5 PDFs (pages 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10), downloaded together as a ZIP. Use the quick presets (1, 2, 3, 5, 10) or type any number. Setting it to 1 gives you one PDF per page.
Upload your PDF, then choose 'Split Every Page' mode to separate each page into its own PDF file. Click 'Split & Download' and select 'ZIP of separate PDFs' to download all pages at once in a ZIP archive. Each page becomes an individual PDF file. If instead you want just a few pages kept together, use 'Select Pages' + 'One combined PDF'.
Yes! After uploading, click on page thumbnails to select specific pages, or enter page ranges like '1-5, 7, 10-15' in the range input. Only your selected pages will be extracted and downloaded.
YaliKit is exceptionally safe because your PDF never leaves your device. All processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. We don't upload, store, or have access to your files. This is more secure than tools that process files on servers.
There's no strict file size limit since processing happens on your device. Very large files (100+ MB) may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities. For best performance, we recommend files under 50MB.
PDFs with view passwords need to be unlocked first using our Unlock PDF tool. Once unlocked, you can split them normally. PDFs with only printing/editing restrictions (owner password) should work without unlocking.
After selecting pages, click 'Split & Download'. Choose 'ZIP of separate PDFs' to download all pages in one ZIP file, or 'All pages separate' to download each page as an individual PDF file.
No. Splitting extracts pages exactly as they are in the original PDF. Text, images, and formatting are preserved perfectly. There's no compression, conversion, or quality loss.
Yes! Our split tool works on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and tablets. The interface is touch-friendly and all features work on mobile devices. Just open the website in your mobile browser.
Split your PDF to extract the pages you need, then use our Merge PDF tool to combine them in a different order. Both tools work together seamlessly for reorganizing documents.
No limits. You can extract 1 page or 1000 pages - as many as your PDF contains. The only limitation is your device's memory for very large documents.
Adobe Acrobat requires a subscription ($15-23/month) and software installation. YaliKit is completely free, works in your browser, and offers similar splitting capabilities. For basic PDF splitting, YaliKit is faster and more accessible.
Splitting doesn't modify your original file - it creates new files from the pages you selected. Your original PDF remains unchanged on your device. To 'undo', simply use the original file again.
