Splinting PDFs...
Most free PDF splitters give you two options: split every page into a separate file or extract a single page. Neither is particularly useful when you need something in between.
ILovePDF gives you precise control over exactly how your PDF is split. Define a custom range by choosing a start page and end page, or enter fixed ranges using a comma separated list to extract specific pages and sections in one operation. Whether you need one page, several non-consecutive pages, or a defined chapter from a larger document, you get exactly what you need without touching the rest of the file. If you need to combine the extracted pages with other documents afterward, our merge PDF tool lets you do that in the same browser session.
Drag and drop your file onto the page, click to upload from your computer, or import directly from your Dropbox account. There is no file size limit so upload documents of any size without restriction.
Select Custom Ranges and enter a start page and end page to extract a continuous section. Or select Fixed Ranges and enter a comma separated list such as 2, 3-5, 8 to extract specific pages and grouped sections in one operation. Add as many ranges as you need to get all the sections you want from a single upload.
Click the Split PDF button. Your file is processed and your output files are ready in under a minute.
Download each output file individually. If you need to combine any of the split sections with other documents, use our Merge PDF tool to bring them together into a single file. Your original and all output files are stored securely for 1 hour and then automatically and permanently deleted from our servers.
Extract pages, chapters, invoices, contracts, and specific sections from PDF files with precise page range control. Here are some of the most common use cases.
Use Custom Ranges to define the start and end page of the chapter you need. Download that chapter as a standalone PDF to share with a specific team or include in a separate briefing document.
Use Fixed Ranges to extract individual exhibits, clauses, or referenced pages by number. Enter each page number or grouped section as a comma separated list and get precisely the pages you need without downloading the entire document.
Many accounting systems produce combined PDF statements where each invoice occupies a known set of pages. Use Custom Ranges to extract each invoice individually. If any extracted invoices need corrections, open them in our PDF Editor before filing or forwarding.
If each slide occupies one page, use Fixed Ranges to extract the slides you need by page number. Enter them as a comma separated list and get each slide as its own PDF file.
Split the pages you want to keep into separate ranges and then use our Merge PDF tool to combine the kept sections back into a single document, effectively removing the unwanted pages in the process.
Use Custom Ranges or Fixed Ranges to extract just the signed page from a multi-page contract. Share or archive the signature page independently without distributing the entire agreement. If the extracted page needs password protection before sharing, use our Protect PDF tool to secure it.
Split a large scanned archive into logical sections using Custom Ranges. Each section becomes a smaller, more manageable file. Run each split file through our Compress PDF tool afterward to reduce storage size without any quality loss.
Yes, every file uploaded to ilovepdf.biz is transferred using SSL encryption throughout the entire process. Your document is processed on our secure servers and all files including the original upload and every output file are automatically deleted 1 hour after processing. We do not store, read, share, or sell any of your document content at any point.
For confidential documents like legal contracts, financial records, or medical files, your content is fully protected from upload to deletion. If you need to unlock a password protected PDF before splitting it, use our unlock PDF tool to remove the protection first and then proceed with splitting.
No, ILovePDF has no file size limit for PDF splitting. You can upload and split PDFs of any size completely free with no account required.
Custom Ranges lets you define a start page and end page to extract a continuous section of pages from your PDF. Fixed Ranges lets you enter a comma separated list of individual page numbers and grouped ranges such as 2, 3-5, 8 to extract specific non-consecutive pages and sections in a single operation.
Yes, both splitting modes let you define multiple ranges in a single session. Each range you define produces a separate output PDF file, all generated from a single upload without needing to upload the document multiple times.
Entering 2, 3-5, 8 in Fixed Ranges produces three separate output files. The first contains page 2 only. The second contains pages 3, 4, and 5 grouped together. The third contains page 8 only. Each entry in the comma separated list becomes its own downloadable PDF.
Not directly. Password protected PDFs need to have their protection removed before splitting. Use our Unlock PDF tool to remove the password first and then upload the unlocked file for splitting.
No, splitting extracts pages exactly as they appear in the original document without reprocessing, recompressing, or altering any of the content. Every extracted page comes out at the same quality as the original.
Yes, ilovepdf.biz works in any mobile browser on iPhone and Android. Open the site in Safari or Chrome, upload your file, define your ranges, and download the split files with no app installation needed.
All uploaded files and output files are automatically deleted from our servers 1 hour after processing. They are not accessible to anyone else during that period and are permanently removed when the hour is up.
Yes, use our Merge PDF tool to combine any split sections back into a single document or to combine extracted pages with content from other PDF files.
After splitting your PDF, you might also need one of these:
to combine split sections with other documents or to rejoin pages into a new arrangement.
to reduce the file size of any split section before sharing or archiving it.
to edit the content of any extracted section before downloading or sharing it.
to add password protection to any sensitive extracted pages before sharing them.
to remove password protection from a locked PDF before splitting it.
