Split PDF & Extract Pages
Split by page range, extract selected pages, save selected pages separately, or target an output file size.
How to split a PDF
Upload your PDF
Drag and drop or click to browse. Every page renders as a thumbnail so you can see exactly what you're working with.
Select pages
Click pages to select them. Pick consecutive ranges or scattered pages — whatever you need.
Extract & download
Hit Extract and your new PDF is ready. Only the pages you selected, in the order you chose.
When you need to split a PDF
Not every situation calls for the full document. Sometimes you just need a piece of it.
Extract a single page
Pull out one page from a long document — a specific receipt, a signature page, or a single form.
Separate chapters
Split a book or manual into individual chapters for easier distribution or reference.
Share only what's relevant
Don't send 50 pages when your recipient only needs 3. Extract and share just what matters.
Remove confidential sections
Extract the non-sensitive pages from a document before sharing externally.
Split vs. Delete: What's the difference?
Splitting creates a new PDF containing only the pages you select. Your original file stays untouched. Think of it as copying pages out.
Deleting removes pages from the document itself. You're left with the original minus the pages you removed.
Which should you use? If you want to keep the rest of the document intact (minus a few pages), use Delete Pages. If you want to extract specific pages into a new file, use Split.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Absolutely. Click on pages 1, 5, and 12 individually, and they'll all be combined into a single PDF in that order. You're not limited to consecutive ranges.
Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
Yes. In the Select pages mode, select the pages you want and enable Extract each page as separate PDF. Select All to create one PDF per page and download them together as a ZIP.
Does splitting affect quality?
Selected page content is copied without rasterization, so Lyonite does not intentionally recompress the text, images, or vectors on those pages. The output is a new PDF, however, so document-level features can differ from the source.
What happens to bookmarks and links?
Links whose destinations are outside the extracted pages cannot work as before. Because Lyonite builds a new PDF from the selected pages, document-level outlines/bookmarks, forms, signatures, and other cross-document structures are not guaranteed to carry over.
