How to Split a PDF on iPad — Extract Pages in Safari

Split or extract pages from a PDF on iPad using Safari. No app required — works with iCloud Drive and Files app.

Extract specific pages from a PDF on your iPad in seconds. Open Safari, go to FixMyPDF's Split PDF tool, and pull out exactly the pages you need — without installing anything.

Why Split PDFs on iPad

Extract a signed signature page from a long contract. Pull specific chapters from a merged course pack. Separate individual pages from a multi-page scanned document. Get just the invoice pages from a combined financial PDF.

How to Split a PDF on iPad

Open Safari, navigate to fixmypdf.in/tools/split. Tap "Choose File" and select your PDF from Files. Choose your split method: "Extract Pages" (specify a range like 2-5) or "Split Every Page" (creates one PDF per page). Tap "Split PDF" and download.

Extracting a Single Page

To extract one page, enter the same number in both the start and end field (e.g. page 3 to page 3). You'll receive a single-page PDF — useful for extracting a signed declaration or a specific certificate page.

Split Into Multiple Parts

To split a 20-page document into two 10-page halves, run the tool twice: first extract pages 1-10, then upload the original again and extract pages 11-20. Download each half separately.

Saving Split Files to iCloud

After downloading, tap "Save to Files" and choose iCloud Drive to sync across your iPhone, Mac, and other devices automatically. Each split PDF can be given a custom name in the Files app.

Works in Safari and Chrome on iPad

Both Safari and Chrome for iPadOS support the file picker and local processing. If you prefer Chrome, the experience is identical — upload, split, download.

No Upload, Full Privacy

Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing leaves your iPad. This is important when splitting documents containing legal contracts, personal data, or confidential business information.
