How to use Split PDF

  1. 1Choose a PDF or drop it onto the page.
  2. 2Pick a mode — Every N pages (e.g. one page per file), Custom ranges (each range becomes a file) or Extract pages (selected pages in one new PDF).
  3. 3Enter the number of pages or the page ranges, such as 1-3, 4-8, 9-.
  4. 4Click Split PDF. A single result downloads straight away; several files can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP.

Split PDF files your way

Sometimes you need just one chapter of a long report, each page of a scanned batch as its own file, or a document divided into parts small enough to email. This PDF splitter handles all of these. Split by a fixed number of pages, define your own ranges, or extract selected pages into a new file — then download the results individually or together as a ZIP. It runs in your browser, so the PDF is never uploaded.

Three ways to split

Every N pages. Splits the document into equal parts. Use 1 to burst a PDF into single pages, 2 for double-sided forms, or any other number.

Custom ranges. Type ranges like 1-4, 5-12, 13- and each range becomes its own PDF. Perfect for separating chapters, invoices or individual documents in a combined scan.

Extract pages. List the pages you want — 2, 5, 9-11 — and get a single PDF containing only those pages, in that order.

Common uses

  • Separating scanned documents: a stack of contracts or receipts scanned in one go can be split back into individual files.
  • Sending only what's needed: share the relevant pages of a long document instead of the whole thing.
  • Email and upload limits: break a large PDF into smaller parts that fit attachment limits.
  • Printing: extract only the pages you need to print.

Splitting is lossless

The tool copies the original page objects into new documents without re-rendering them, so text, fonts, vector graphics and images stay exactly as they were. Each file only contains the resources its pages need.

Want to remove a few pages rather than split? Use Delete PDF Pages. To combine files again later, use Merge PDF, and to turn pages into images, use PDF to JPG.

Frequently asked questions

How do I save every page as a separate PDF?
Choose Every N pages and keep the number at 1. You will get one PDF per page, named with the page number, plus a button to download them all as a ZIP.
What's the difference between splitting and extracting?
Custom ranges creates one file per range — 1-3, 4-6 gives two PDFs. Extract pages puts all the pages you list into a single new PDF — 1-3, 4-6 gives one six-page PDF.
Does splitting reduce the quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays searchable and images keep their resolution.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser; the PDF never leaves your device.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Not until the password protection is removed. Open the file with its password in a PDF application, save an unprotected copy, then split it here.
What does an open range like "9-" mean?
It means "from page 9 to the last page". Likewise, "-5" means "from the first page to page 5".
