Large PDF documents often contain pages you do not need for a particular task. Splitting a PDF lets you extract only the pages that matter and save them as a new document.
Use Fixora's PDF Splitter to select individual pages or ranges and create a separate PDF.

Why split a PDF?
Splitting can be useful when a document contains several sections but you only need one part. It can also make a file easier to share when sending the entire original document would be unnecessary.
Common reasons to extract PDF pages
- Save selected pages from a long report.
- Extract a specific section from a document.
- Create a smaller PDF for sharing or uploading.
- Separate pages needed for an application or submission.
- Keep only relevant pages from a scanned document.

Does the original PDF change?
No. Splitting creates a new PDF containing the pages you selected. Your original PDF remains separate on your device.
What happens if a page is listed twice?
Fixora removes duplicate page numbers automatically when creating the extracted page list. The resulting document contains each selected page once.
Tips before splitting an important document
- Check the page count before entering ranges.
- Review the page numbers carefully.
- Keep the original file as a backup.
- Open the downloaded result to confirm the expected pages are present.
