PDFStay
Split PDF Online by Page Range
Choose one multi-page PDF, define one page range, and export one PDF in the current browser session.
Answer
PDFStay exports one selected page range from one multi-page PDF as one downloaded PDF in the browser session. Selecting pages 3 through 7 should produce a five-page result in the same order. Normal processing does not upload the source to PDFStay servers. Free covers basic page selection for one PDF; multi-part, every-N-page, bookmark, and batch workflows are Pro. Encrypted, damaged, large, signed, form-rich, tagged, attachment-bearing, or otherwise complex PDFs require extra verification and may not process as expected.

FAQ
Can I split a PDF without uploading it?
Yes. PDFStay performs the basic page-range split in the current browser session, so the source PDF is not uploaded to PDFStay servers.
What can I split for free?
Free supports basic page selection for one PDF. Multi-part, every-N-page, bookmark, and batch workflows are Pro.
What should I check after splitting a PDF?
Open the downloaded result, confirm its first and last page, compare its page count with the selected range, and check that no page was skipped or duplicated.
