Extract Pages or Divide PDF Documents in Your Browser
Whether you need to extract a two-page executive summary from a 100-page presentation, pull out a single signed invoice from a batch receipt scan, or separate individual test reports, splitting a PDF should be fast, private, and painless.
FreeFileTool runs all page parsing directly in your web browser. Rather than sending confidential corporate documents or private tax records to a remote server, our tool reads the document structure in your device's memory, slices the requested page tree, and packages the result for instant local download.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will splitting a PDF reduce document quality?
No. Splitting is completely lossless. The original vector fonts, crisp text, images, and layout matrices of each page are extracted and copied verbatim without recompression.
Can I extract pages from password-protected files?
Protected PDFs cannot be split until decrypted. Please remove any master or user password from the PDF before using this tool.
Is there a maximum page limit?
There is no artificial page limit. We have successfully tested documents containing over 300 pages. Your device's RAM dictates performance.
