Sometimes you only need part of a PDF: the signature page of a contract, one chapter of a manual, or a single statement out of a year of bank records. This tool pulls out exactly those pages, or cuts the document into as many pieces as you want.
The split happens inside your browser. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays searchable and nothing is re-compressed.
How to use
- Select or drop one PDF file.
- Choose how to split: extract pages, each range as a file, or every page.
- Type the page numbers, such as 1-3, 5, 8-.
- Press Split PDF and download the result — several files arrive as one ZIP.
Why use Deftivo
Three ways to split
Keep only the pages you need in one file, save each range separately, or break the whole PDF into single pages.
No quality loss
Pages are copied, not re-rendered, so text, images and links stay exactly as they were.
Private by design
The PDF is never uploaded. Everything runs on your own computer or phone.
Writing page ranges
Separate ranges with commas: “1-3, 5, 8-10” takes pages 1 to 3, page 5 and pages 8 to 10.
Leave the end of a range open to go to the last page: “8-” means page 8 to the end, and “-4” means the first four pages.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract a single page from a PDF?
Choose “Extract pages”, type the page number (for example 7) and press Split PDF. You get a one-page PDF.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
When the result is more than one PDF, the files are packed into a single ZIP so your browser does not block several downloads at once. Open it to find each PDF.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not until the password is removed, because the contents are encrypted. Open it in a PDF reader, save a copy without the password, then split that copy.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in current browsers on Android and iPhone, and very long documents simply take a little longer.
