A long PDF often holds more than the person at the other end needs. Splitting lets you send only the relevant pages, or break a big file into smaller ones.
Extract the pages you need
- Open the file in the WriteDroid PDF Editor.
- In the Pages panel, select the thumbnails you want. Hold Shift or Ctrl to select several.
- Press Extract. A new PDF with only those pages downloads.
Split into many files
- Open the More menu and choose Split.
- Pick a mode: every page as its own PDF, every N pages, or ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 9.
- Press the button. You get one ZIP with all the files, named by page numbers.
Remove pages instead
If you want most of the file, delete the pages you do not want and save normally. Deleted pages are really gone from the saved file, not hidden. That matters if the removed pages held private details.
Save pages as pictures
Need images of pages for a slide or a post? Use the More menu to save pages as PNG or JPG. Several pages arrive in one ZIP.
Good to know
- Edits you made stay in the extracted pages.
- Page numbers and watermarks you set are applied to the saved files.
- Forms and links on the pages are kept when possible.

Common questions
What do the split files get called? The original name plus the page numbers, for example report-pages-1-3.pdf.
Can I split by size? Not directly. Split into ranges of a few pages each and check the sizes.
Is the original changed? No. Your original file on disk is never touched.
