Split PDF by Page Range
Quick Answer
Upload your PDF to PDFMinify's splitter, specify the page ranges you want to extract (e.g., 1-5, 8, 12-15), and download each section as a separate file. The original document quality is preserved in every extracted segment.
Large PDFs often contain more than you need to share. A 200-page manual when only chapter 3 is relevant. A multi-section report where each department needs only their own section. Splitting by page range lets you create focused documents that contain exactly the right content for each recipient.

Expert Tips
- •Use your PDF reader's page thumbnails to identify the exact page numbers you need before splitting.
- •For extracting a single chapter, note the first and last page numbers from the table of contents.
- •If you need to split into equal parts, calculate the total pages divided by the number of sections you want.
- •After splitting, rename each file descriptively — "Q4_Report_Finance.pdf" is more useful than "split_pages_1-15.pdf".
- •Combine splitting with compression for maximum efficiency — split first, then compress each section individually.
