About this tool

After you add a PDF, the tool shows its page count so you know the valid range. Enter comma-separated ranges — single pages (5) and spans (7-10) can be mixed freely — and each range is exported as an independent PDF with pages copied at original quality. Invalid input produces a specific message, for example when a range points past the document's last page.

Frequently asked questions

What range formats are accepted?
Single pages (5), spans (7-10) and combinations separated by commas (1-3, 5, 7-10). Pages are numbered from 1.
What happens if I enter an invalid range?
You get a precise error — for example, "Page range 20-30 is invalid because this PDF contains 12 pages" — and nothing is generated until it's fixed.
Does splitting lower the quality of the pages?
No. Pages are copied byte-accurately into the new documents; nothing is re-rendered or recompressed.
