About Split PDF
Extract exactly the pages you need from any PDF document. Enter page numbers, ranges, or combinations like "1-3, 5, 8-10" and CocoConvert produces a new PDF containing only those pages. Perfect for pulling chapters from textbooks, extracting invoices from statement bundles, or creating handouts from slide decks.
The split engine uses qpdf, which handles the extraction at the object level — meaning hyperlinks, bookmarks, embedded fonts, and annotations on the extracted pages are fully preserved. Empty pages are never inserted.
This tool is invaluable for legal professionals extracting relevant pages from case files, students pulling specific sections from research papers, and administrators creating targeted document subsets from large reports.
Processing is instant for most documents. Files up to 5 GB are supported on Pro plans. Everything happens on secure servers in Germany with automatic 60-minute deletion.
