Short answer: to save pages as separate files, use Split PDF with page ranges such as 1-3, 5. To get several non-consecutive pages in one new PDF, open the file in Edit PDF, delete the pages you don't want, and save. Your original file is never changed either way.
Option 1: save pages or ranges as separate PDFs
- Open Split PDF and choose your file (up to 100 MB).
- Choose custom ranges and type the pages you want, for example 1-3, 7, 10-12.
- Each entry becomes its own PDF: in that example you'd get three files (pages 1–3, page 7, and pages 10–12).
- When there's more than one file, they're downloaded together as a ZIP.
Want every page as its own file? Choose the “each page” option instead of typing ranges.
Split a PDF into pages or ranges, entirely in your browser.
Open Split PDFOption 2: put selected pages into one new PDF
If you need pages 2, 5, and 9 together in a single document, splitting by ranges would give you three separate files. It's quicker to remove everything else:
- Open the PDF in Edit PDF. You'll see a thumbnail of every page.
- Delete the pages you don't need.
- Drag the remaining pages into a different order or rotate them, if needed.
- Save. The new PDF contains only the pages you kept, and text stays selectable.
Delete, reorder, and rotate pages using thumbnails.
Open Edit PDFWhich method should you use?
| You want | Use | Result |
|---|---|---|
| One file per page | Split PDF → each page | A ZIP of single-page PDFs |
| A few blocks of pages as separate files | Split PDF → custom ranges | One PDF per range |
| Selected pages together in one file | Edit PDF → delete the rest | One PDF |
| Pages from several PDFs in one file | Split or Edit each file, then Merge PDF | One PDF |
Common problems
- Page numbers don't match: tools count physical pages from 1, so if a document's printed numbering starts at a cover or roman numerals, the numbers in your viewer's page counter are the ones to use.
- The PDF won't open: password-protected files need to be unlocked first.
- The extracted file is still large: pages with big images keep their size. Run the result through Compress PDF.
