How is this different from Split PDF?

Split PDF cuts a document into parts from typed page numbers. This one shows you the pages so you can pick them by eye, and always gives you a single file back.

Can I pick pages that are nowhere near each other?

Yes. Click page 2, page 40 and page 41 and you get a three-page PDF. There is no limit on how scattered the selection is.

Why is the preview slow on a big document?

Every page has to be interpreted and drawn, which is far more work than copying pages around. It runs on your device, so a phone will be slower than a laptop.

Why this exists when Split PDF already does ranges

Split PDF is for carving a document into parts, and it works from typed page numbers. That is the right tool when you already know you want pages 4 to 9.

This one is for when you do not. Nine times out of ten the pages you want are the ones with the signature, the table and the two appendix pages, and the only way to find them is to look. So you look, you click, and you get one file. Nobody has to count anything.

What you get back

One PDF holding the pages you picked, in the order they appeared in the original. Clicking page 9 before page 2 does not put page 9 first; if that is what you want, run the result through Reorder PDF Pages afterwards.

Pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality. The same things that never survive this kind of surgery are gone: bookmarks, form fields and signatures belong to the document as a whole rather than to its pages.

The previews take a moment

Drawing a thumbnail means interpreting the page, which is real work. A ten-page document is instant. A two-hundred-page one takes a few seconds and shows progress while it goes.

Pick a different file mid-way and the old render is abandoned rather than quietly finishing, so the page responds straight away. Switching to another browser tab does not interrupt it, though.
