Split PDF

Split one PDF into separate files by split points, fixed page counts or page ranges you choose.

How to split a PDF

Choose or drop the PDF you want to split.
Pick how to split it: split points, one file per page, fixed-size chunks or page ranges.
Click the scissors between pages to set split points, or enter the pages per file or the ranges.
Check the Planned files list. Each entry shows its name and page range, and the eye button previews its pages.
Press the Create PDFs button, which shows how many files will be made, then download the files one by one or as a ZIP.

Options

Choose split points: Click the scissors between two pages to start a new file after that page. Click again to remove the split. The coloured bar under each page shows which file it goes into.
One file per page: Every page becomes its own numbered PDF.
Fixed-size chunks: Enter a whole number of pages per file. The document is cut into files of that size from the start, and the last file may be shorter.
Page ranges I choose: Add one range per output file, with a From page and a To page. Both ends are included. Ranges can overlap, and pages outside every range are left out.
Undo, Redo and Reset split options: Step through changes to split points, mode and ranges, or go back to the starting plan.

What you get

One PDF per planned file, named after the source with a number, for example report (1).pdf, report (2).pdf.
Download each file on its own or all of them together as a ZIP.
Pages keep their size, rotation and content. Each part is a copy of the source pages, not a re-render.
The original PDF is not changed.

Limits

One PDF at a time. The page count must be readable before a plan can be made.
With split points, set at least one split to get more than one file.
Range numbers must be whole page numbers within the document, and the first page of a range cannot be after the last.
A ZIP holds up to 2,048 files. Without direct file saving in your browser, a ZIP is limited to 128 MiB; download the files one by one if it is larger.
Plans of 50 files or more take longer and use more storage. A warning appears next to the plan.
Split does not remove pages from the source or redact anything on the pages it keeps.

Check the result

Open each downloaded part and compare its first page, last page and page count with the range in the plan. With custom ranges, check that pages you left out were meant to be left out.

Questions

Can I split a PDF without uploading it?

Yes. The PDF is split in your browser and is not uploaded to a server.

How do I extract certain pages into a new PDF?

Choose Page ranges I choose and enter the range you want, for example From 4 To 9. Add more ranges if you need more files. Pages outside your ranges are not included.

Can I split a PDF into single pages?

Yes. Choose One file per page. Each page becomes its own PDF, and you can download them all as one ZIP.

Can the same page go into more than one file?

Yes, with page ranges. Overlapping ranges repeat those pages, and the editor tells you how many pages are duplicated before you create the files.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied from the source as they are. Text stays selectable and images are not recompressed.

Is there a page limit?

There is no fixed page cap. A ZIP can hold up to 2,048 files, so a very long document split one page per file is better downloaded in parts or with fixed-size chunks.
