How to split a PDF
- Select Choose file or drop your PDF on the box.
- Under Split by, pick Every page, Every N pages or Page ranges.
- For Every N pages, set the number N. For Page ranges, type the ranges, such as
1-3, 4-9, 10-. - The files are made at once. Select Download to save the ZIP, or the PDF if there is only one part.
The three ways to split
Every page gives one PDF per page, named with the page number. It suits a scanned stack that should be filed page by page.
Every N pages cuts the document into equal parts, for example every 10 pages for a long report. The final part holds the remainder.
Page ranges is the most flexible. Each comma separated range is one output file, so 1-3, 4-9 gives two PDFs. Write 5 for a single page and 8- for page 8 to the end. Ranges must be in order from low to high and inside the document. If something is wrong, the tool tells you instead of guessing.
What you get
Every part keeps the original page size, rotation and quality. Text stays selectable, because pages are copied and not redrawn. The parts are bundled into a ZIP so you can download them in one click, and the file names tell you which pages each contains.
Good uses
Sending only the relevant chapter of a book, splitting a scanned batch of invoices, separating a bound exam paper into one file per student, or pulling the signature page out of a long contract.
Tips
- Not sure how long the document is? Check it with the PDF page counter.
- To keep a few chosen pages in one new file, use Extract PDF pages. To remove pages instead, use Delete PDF pages.
- To join the pieces again later, use Merge PDF.
