Steps
Open your browser and go to the ILovePDF website. No account or software install is needed for basic use.
On the home page, find the Split PDF tool and click it. The upload page opens.
Click Select PDF files and choose the PDF from your computer. Wait for the upload to finish.
Choose how to split. Pick ranges to type exact page numbers, or select every page to save each one as a separate file.
Type the page numbers or ranges you want, such as 3-5 or 7. Check the preview to confirm the right pages are selected.
Click the Split PDF button and wait while the site processes the file.
Download the new PDF or the ZIP folder of split files to your computer.
Open the downloaded file to confirm the correct pages were extracted before you delete or share anything.
Tips and common mistakes
Double-check your page ranges before splitting, since a wrong range means starting over.
Very large PDFs may hit free upload limits, so split them in smaller batches if the upload fails.
Avoid uploading confidential documents to free online tools unless your workplace allows it.
Questions
Is ILovePDF really free?

Can I extract just one page from a PDF?

Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in your web browser, so you only need an internet connection.
