How to Split a PDF
Server-processed · Auto-cleanupPDF splitting is a common task when you only need a few pages from a large document — think extracting a single contract page, isolating slides from a presentation PDF, or pulling specific chapters from a report. Quarkova's PDF Splitter uses PHP Imagick on the server to read your PDF at 150 DPI and write only the requested page range to a new PDF file.
To use the tool: upload your PDF, type the page number or range in the input field (e.g. 1-3 for pages 1 through 3, or simply 5 for page 5 only), then click "Split & Download PDF". The server processes your request and your download begins immediately.
Automatic cleanup: PHP's unlink() function runs immediately after the file is streamed to your browser. This means the split PDF never sits idle on the server — there is zero risk of stale files accumulating and zero privacy concern about your document content.
✂️ Flexible Extraction
Extract a single page or any range up to 100 pages.
🗑️ No Leftover Files
Server files are removed the instant your download starts.
🔓 No Login Needed
Open the page and split immediately — no account required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract a single page? ▾
Yes. Simply type a single number in the page range field (e.g. 5) to extract only page 5 as a standalone PDF.
Does the original PDF stay on the server? ▾
No. Both the uploaded PDF and the generated split file are removed from the server immediately after delivery. There is no retention period.
What if my PDF is password-protected? ▾
Password-protected PDFs are not currently supported. Remove the password using your PDF viewer (e.g. Adobe Acrobat or Preview on macOS) before uploading.
How many pages can I extract at once? ▾
Up to 100 pages per extraction. For larger documents, run multiple extractions with different page ranges and merge the results if needed.
Why is the output PDF larger than expected? ▾
Imagick rasterises PDF pages to 150 DPI images before re-encoding them as a PDF. This can increase the file size for text-heavy documents. Vector PDF editing tools (like pdftk) produce smaller outputs for text-only PDFs but are not available in this browser-friendly tool.
