How to extract Pages or Split a PDF
- Select the PDF.
- Choose how to split it: by page ranges, every page, or every few pages.
- For ranges, type the pages, for example 1-3, 5, 8-.
- Press Split PDF and download the files or the ZIP.
Extracting the pages you need
Choose By page ranges and type the pages, such as 2 or 4-6. Tick Keep all selected ranges together to get them as one new PDF. This is handy for pulling a single certificate out of a combined scan, or one month out of a yearly statement.
Splitting into smaller files
If a portal accepts several uploads but each has a size limit, split the document every few pages and then run each part through Compress PDF.
How to write page ranges
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | Pages 1, 2 and 3 |
| 5 | Page 5 only |
| 8- | Page 8 to the end |
| 1-2, 6 | Two files, pages 1 and 2 and page 6 (one file if you tick "keep together") |
Why your file stays private
Split PDF runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed in memory and saved back to your device. It is never uploaded to GreenPDFs or anyone else, so you can use it with Aadhaar, marksheets, bank statements and other personal documents. How in-browser processing works.
