# Split a PDF and extract pages online

> Select pages or type a range like 1-3,5,8-10 and export them as a new PDF, or export just the current page. Runs in your browser — no upload, no watermark.

Only need a few pages? Pick them and export a new file; the original stays untouched. Click pages to select them, or just type a page range.

## How it works

1. **Open the PDF** Choose a file or drop a PDF onto the page.
2. **Select the pages to keep** Click thumbnails on the left; hold Shift to select a run of pages and ⌘/Ctrl to add single pages. You can also type the range later in the export window.
3. **Click "Export PDF" and choose a range** Pick "All pages", "Current page only" or "Custom pages". For a custom range write something like 1-3,5,8-10; there are shortcuts for odd and even pages. The window shows live which pages will be exported.
4. **Save the new file** You get a new PDF with just those pages. To split into several files, export again with a different range.

## Good to know

- Separate pages with commas or semicolons; extra spaces and a trailing comma are ignored, and "5-" means page 5 through the last page.
- If you select two or more pages before exporting, the window switches to "Custom pages" with your selection filled in.
- Right-clicking a thumbnail and choosing "Export selected pages as a new file" is a faster route.

## FAQ

### How do I export only some pages of a PDF?

Click "Export PDF", choose "Custom pages" and type a range such as 1-3,5,8-10. The window shows live which pages will be exported; confirm to export.

### Does splitting change my original file?

No. Exporting creates a new file and the open document is left as it is.
