How To Separate PDF Pages Online

Do you need to separate PDF pages from one PDF into individual new documents? Or maybe you accidentally scanned a blank page into your file and you want to remove it quickly without scanning everything all over again? Use Smallpdf’s various tools to split a PDF or delete PDF pages—whatever you need to modify your PDF documents. Oh, we’re free as well, if you’re wondering.

How to Separate PDF Pages—Delete Pages Tool

If your goal isn’t to create multiple files from one or extract specific pages, but just to remove unnecessary pages from an otherwise perfect PDF, deleting these pages might be the easier solution. With the Delete Pages tool, you can easily look through your file, identify the pages you want to remove, and you can go about your day. And here’s how it’s done:

1. Go to the Delete Pages tool and upload your document.
2. On the preview screen, look for the pages you want to remove
3. Click the trash icon at the corner of a page thumbnail to delete individual pages.
4. Click “Apply Changes” to execute these changes.
5. Download your document and you’re all done.

What Else Can Smallpdf Do?

What we can do, we can also undo. If instead you have two files that ought to be together, you can use our Merge tool. Especially if your printer decided to give you two PDFs from your scan, this is super useful. No need to throw out those files and start scanning 500 pages all over again—just a quick upload, making sure the files and pages are in the right order, and you’re done. One perfect document. But that’s not all. Smallpdf can also help you turn those PDFs (even scans!) into editable formats such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and JPG.

If you want to work on many PDF files at once, you can grab a Pro account for yourself, which will let you do just this, through our batch-processing function. A subscription will also enable our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capabilities. With it, scans or screenshots are turned into editable text—no more hand-copywriting stuff that is already right there, but just out of reach in a scanned PDF. A Pro account can be yours for the price of a good latte a month, but if you’re unsure, why take our word for it? Make use of our 7-day free trial and see for yourself what you can do if you just have the right tools at your disposal!
