Split PDF Online – Separate PDF Pages Easily

Sometimes you only need a few pages from a large PDF. Maybe you want to share one section of a report, extract specific assignment pages, or remove unnecessary pages from a scanned document. Instead of sending the entire file, you can extract just the pages you need and create a new, smaller PDF

Box PDF offers a free Split PDF tool that lets you separate PDF pages by selecting a page range. There is no software to install and no sign-up required — everything happens right in your browser. Whether you are a student pulling out assignment pages, an office worker extracting parts of a report, or someone who just wants to keep relevant pages, this tool makes the process simple and quick.

Splitting a PDF with Box PDF takes just a few easy steps:

Step 1: Upload your PDF file.

Step 2: Enter the page range.

After uploading, two fields appear — a "from" page and a "to" page. Enter the starting and ending page numbers for the section you want to extract. The tool automatically detects the total number of pages in your PDF and fills in the last page for you.

Step 3: Click "Split & Download."

Once you have set the page range, press the "Split & Download" button to create a new PDF with your selected pages.

Step 4: Download your new PDF.
