Split PDF
Extract pages or split a PDF into separate files.
Need just a few pages from a long contract, or want every page of a scan as its own file? Utilitoo's Split PDF tool extracts specific pages or splits a document page-by-page - all without uploading your file anywhere.
Lawyers pulling signature pages from agreements, teachers sharing single worksheets from a full workbook, and accountants isolating monthly statements from an annual PDF export use split tools daily. Specify pages like 1,3,5-7 or choose split-every-page mode to download one PDF per page.
Page numbers are 1-based and support comma-separated lists and dash ranges, matching how most people think about document pages. Extraction runs locally with pdf-lib, copying only the pages you need into a new file. For multi-page extractions, you get one PDF containing all selected pages.
Utilitoo processes everything in your browser. Your document is never transmitted to a server, logged, or stored. The tool is free, requires no sign-up, and works for anyone who needs fast, private PDF splitting - from office workers handling reports to students organizing course materials.
Split PDF keeps PDF work on your device - useful for contracts, invoices, and personal records that should not be uploaded to unknown servers. Processing time scales with file size and page count; wait for the progress indicator to finish before downloading results.

Tips & common mistakes
Split PDF processes PDFs locally in your browser on Utilitoo - your documents are not uploaded to our servers. Large files may take longer on older devices; close other heavy tabs if the browser feels slow. Always keep a backup of the original PDF before merging, splitting, or rotating pages. If the output PDF looks wrong, confirm the source file is not password-protected or corrupted. Split PDF works on standard PDFs; scanned image-only PDFs may need OCR elsewhere before text extraction can help.
All PDF processing runs locally in your browser. Files are never uploaded to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?▼
Upload your PDF, enter page numbers like 1,3,5-7 in the Pages field, and click Split PDF. Utilitoo creates a new PDF containing only those pages.

Use commas for individual pages and dashes for ranges. For example, 1,3,5-7 extracts pages 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7.
Are my PDFs uploaded when I split them online?▼
