How to Extract Pages from a PDF Online

3 min read

Sometimes you only need a few pages from a large PDF - a single chapter from a manual, a specific invoice from a batch, or a range of pages for a presentation. Instead of sending the whole document, you can extract exactly what you need.

When to Split a PDF

  • Sharing specific sections - send only the relevant pages to a colleague
  • Reducing file size - a 5-page extract is much smaller than a 200-page report
  • Organizing documents - break a combined scan into individual documents
  • Meeting upload limits - some portals have file size restrictions

How to Split PDFs with Toolium

  1. Open the PDF Split tool
  2. Upload your PDF file by dragging it onto the page or clicking to browse
  3. Enter the page range you want to extract (e.g., "1-5" or "3,7,12")
  4. Click Split PDF and download your extracted pages

Page Range Syntax

The tool supports flexible page selection:

  • 1-5 - pages 1 through 5
  • 3,7,12 - specific individual pages
  • 1-3,8-10 - combine ranges and individual pages

Privacy First

Like all Toolium tools, PDF splitting happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your document is never uploaded to any server. This makes it safe for confidential documents, contracts, and sensitive business files.
