Three Ways to Split Your PDF

Visual Selection

See thumbnail previews of all pages and click to select the ones you want. Perfect when you need specific pages scattered throughout the document.

Tip: Click the magnifying glass to preview full-size, then use the arrow buttons to reorder selected pages.

Page Ranges

Enter ranges like "1-5, 8-10, 15" to extract specific sections. Each range becomes a separate PDF file.

Example: "1-3, 5-7" creates 2 PDFs - one with pages 1-3, another with pages 5-7.

Single Pages

Extract every page as a separate PDF file. Great for breaking a document into individual pages for distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I split a PDF without losing quality?

Page content is copied instead of rasterized, but complex features such as bookmarks, links, forms, annotations, and signatures still need verification in the new file.

Will my files be stored?

The browser uploads the PDF over HTTPS and the API reads it for the request. PDFMK does not keep an account-based document history. See Security & File Handling.

Can I reorder pages when splitting?

Yes! In Visual Selection mode, you can reorder selected pages before creating the new PDF.

What if my PDF has many pages?

Many thumbnails can make preview generation and the browser page heavier. If a large PDF fails, try a smaller copy or use page ranges in an approved desktop tool.
