Open Split PDF Extract selected pages
A common PDF problem is having one large document when you only need part of it. Sometimes the correct solution is to split the document into separate PDFs. In other cases you need a new PDF containing only page 2, pages 4 to 6, or several selected pages. SizeFix separates these workflows so the result is predictable.
Use Split PDF when you want separate files
Splitting is useful when a scanner combined several documents into one PDF, when each page must be uploaded separately, or when you want to distribute individual pages to different people. The SizeFix Split PDF tool can separate every page into its own one-page PDF and package the results together for download.
For example, a three-page PDF becomes three files: page 1, page 2 and page 3. This is very different from extracting page 2, which would create only one new PDF.
Use Extract PDF Pages when you want one new selected document
Extraction is better when you want to keep only part of a document. Enter a single page such as 2, a range such as 3-5, or a combination supported by the tool. SizeFix copies the selected pages into a fresh PDF while leaving the original file unchanged.
Typical split PDF situations
You may need to split a PDF when an application portal accepts one document per upload field, when invoices were scanned together accidentally, or when a bundle contains certificates that must be submitted separately. Splitting by page is also useful when you want small, clearly named files instead of one large attachment.
Typical extraction situations
Extraction is useful for sharing only relevant pages from a report, pulling a signature page from a contract, saving one certificate from a bundle, or submitting selected bank-statement pages. It reduces unnecessary disclosure because you can create a new PDF containing only the pages required for the task.
Check page order before processing
Open the original PDF and count pages carefully. Viewer page numbers sometimes differ from printed page numbers inside the document. If a report's printed page says “1” but the viewer shows page 4 because of a cover and contents section, the extraction tool works from the actual PDF page position.
Keep the original PDF
Splitting and extracting should create new files rather than replacing the original. Keep the source document so you can return to it if the recipient later asks for a different range or if you discover that the wrong page was selected.
What if the PDF is too large?
If the main problem is an upload size limit rather than page selection, try Compress PDF first. If the file contains many unnecessary pages, extracting only the required pages can also reduce size naturally. For strict targets, SizeFix has direct pages for 200KB, 500KB and under 1MB.
What if several PDFs need to become one?
That is the opposite job. Use Merge PDF to combine multiple PDF files in the chosen order. A practical workflow is to extract the needed pages from several documents first, then merge those smaller outputs into one final submission file.
Privacy and local processing
Where supported by the browser workflow, SizeFix processes the PDF locally rather than sending routine files to a remote conversion server. This also keeps the tool responsive for ordinary document sizes.
