# Split PDF

> Extract pages from a PDF or split it into separate files.

To split a PDF, add the file and enter which pages you want using a range like "1-3, 5, 8-". You can pull those pages into a single new PDF, save each page as its own file, or break the document into fixed-size chunks. Everything runs locally.

Use commas and hyphens: "1-3, 5, 8-" means pages 1 to 3, page 5, and page 8 to the end. Leave the field blank to select every page.
