Uploaded successfully, enter specific range that you want to split (start page and end page). Note: start page and end page must be a valid value (e.g: 1 <= start page <= end page <= number of page )
Pull several ranges in one job
Beyond a single range, the start/end box also accepts a comma-separated list - for example 1-3,7,10-12 pulls three sections in one pass and hands back three separate PDFs (pages 1-3, page 7, and pages 10-12). Each range becomes its own file, so you can carve a long document into the exact pieces you need without running the tool once per section. Your file is uploaded over a secure connection, processed, and the outputs download from temporary storage that auto-deletes after a short retention window.
The splitting process has completed.
PDF Page Trimmer: Cut or Split PDF Pages Easily
When dealing with large PDF files, it's often necessary to isolate just the pages you need - a chapter from an e-book, the signature pages of a contract, or the appendix of a report. This free online tool lets you name the exact start and end pages and pulls that section into a new PDF.
Key features of our PDF page trimmer:
- Precise Page Selection: Trim specific pages or page ranges for better document management.
- Privacy First: Files upload over a secure connection and auto-delete from temporary storage after a short retention window.
- Easy to Use: No downloads or installations needed; access the tool directly in your browser.
- Completely Free: Enjoy the benefits of this feature-complete PDF cutter at no cost.
← Back to PDF Tools - if the next step is to recombine the extracted ranges into a single PDF or to compress the resulting output, the hub names the companion tool for each direction.
Looking to make a PDF smaller?
This tool extracts a contiguous page range into a new PDF, which often produces a smaller file because pages outside the range are dropped. If the file is still larger than the delivery target after the range extraction, open flatten PDF next: it bakes annotations and form fields into the page rendering, which typically removes the largest non-essential payload from a PDF. Both steps are free and run through the same secure upload pipeline, so a heavy source PDF can be shrunk in two passes without leaving the site.

Why Use a PDF Page Trimmer?
Pulling a page range out of a PDF is handy whenever you only need part of a longer document. Common cases:
- Send part of a contract: share just the signature pages instead of the full agreement.
- Pull key pages from a report: extract the summary or a single appendix for review or quoting.
- Save a chapter: keep one section of an e-book or research paper as its own file.
- Trim for delivery: dropping pages outside the range usually leaves a smaller file to attach or upload.
FAQ: PDF Page Trimming and Splitting
How do I extract more than one range at once?
Enter the ranges comma-separated, for example 1-3,7,10-12. That produces three output files: pages 1-3, page 7, and pages 10-12. A single range like 3-7 returns one file.
Does it keep bookmarks inside the range?
Generally yes - bookmarks that point to a page within the range are kept. Bookmarks that point outside the range are dropped, since the page they link to is no longer in the new file.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Only if you have the password. Unlock the file first with Remove PDF Password, then run it through this tool.
Does extracting a range change the quality of the kept pages?
No. The pages inside the range are carried over as they are, with their original resolution and text intact. Only the pages outside the range are left out.
Is it free?
Yes - extracting page ranges is free, with no account or software install needed.
