How to Split a PDF or Remove Pages
Updated 2026-08-18 · 3 min read
Sometimes you only need a few pages from a big PDF — one page of a bank statement, a single form from a booklet, or a document without its blank last page. Here's how to pull out exactly the pages you want, free and privately.
Extract the pages you need
- Open the Split PDF tool.
- Add your PDF.
- Type the pages to keep — e.g. 1-3,5 for pages 1, 2, 3 and 5.
- Click Split PDF to download a new PDF with just those pages.
This runs entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
How to "remove" pages from a PDF
To drop unwanted pages, simply extract the pages you want to keep. Say a 6-page PDF has a blank page 4 — enter 1-3,5-6 and the result skips page 4. Removing a page = keeping the rest.
Common examples
- One page only: enter a single number like 2.
- A range: 1-5 for the first five pages.
- Mixed: 1-2,4,7 to combine ranges and single pages.
