What is a Split PDF tool?
A Split PDF tool allows you to extract specific pages or ranges from a PDF and save them as a new file. Instead of sharing a large document with unnecessary pages, you can split out only the sections you need. This is helpful for homework submissions, application documents, contracts, manuals, reports and scanned multi-page PDFs. With GoPDFTools, splitting happens directly in your browser — no file uploads and no risk of third-party access.
Why would you want to split a PDF?
PDFs often contain multiple sections, chapters, attachments or forms. Sometimes you only need to share a specific part — for example, a few pages of a contract, selected chapters of a book, or a single receipt from a longer scan. Splitting a PDF lets you extract just the relevant pages, making documents lighter, easier to share and easier to organize.
How does GoPDFTools Split PDF work?
GoPDFTools loads your PDF inside your browser and allows you to preview or select individual pages or ranges to extract. After you specify which pages you want, the tool builds a new PDF that contains only those pages, in the correct order, without changing the original file. Because everything runs locally, your document never leaves your device and remains fully private.
