How to Split a PDF and Extract Just the Pages You Need
Ever downloaded a huge PDF — maybe a 100-page report, a textbook chapter pack, or a contract bundle — and realized you only need like 5-10 pages from it? Sending the whole thing is wasteful, and scrolling through to find the right part is annoying.
I run into this all the time. That’s why I added the Split PDF tool on PDF Linx. Now when I have a big file, I just upload it, pick the pages or range I want, and download a new, smaller PDF with exactly what I need. Quality stays perfect, layout doesn’t break — super handy.
Really Simple Steps (Takes under a minute):
- Go to the Split PDF tool
- Upload your big PDF (drag or click)
- Select the pages you want — single pages (like 3,7,12) or a range (like 5-15)
- Click Split and download your new trimmed PDF
No signup, no watermarks, no file size worries. Great for pulling out specific chapters, contract sections, invoices from a batch, or just cleaning up downloaded files.
Quick combo I love: After splitting, if I need to send it right away, I sometimes run the new file through the Compress PDF tool to make it even smaller for email.
