How to Split PDF
After upload, the tool reads the PDF's total page count so you can choose how to split it: "Individual" creates one file per page, "Every N pages" creates equal-sized chunks (e.g. every 5 pages), and "Ranges" lets you specify custom page groups like 1-3, 4-10, 11-15.
For each requested piece, the relevant pages are imported into a new PDF document preserving their original size, orientation, and content — no re-rendering or quality loss.
When splitting produces more than one output file, they are bundled together into a single ZIP download so you get everything in one file.
Safe & Secure
Your files are uploaded over an encrypted (SSL) connection. We don't store, read, or share the contents of your files — they're processed to generate your result and are not retained on our servers afterward.
Who Uses Split PDF?
- Pulling one chapter out of a large scanned textbook to share with a study group.
- Separating a multi-invoice batch PDF into individual invoices for separate accounting entries.
- Extracting a single signed page from a larger contract to send as proof of signature.
Limitations to Avoid
- Specifying an inclusive page range incorrectly (e.g., entering 5-10 expecting 5 pages when it actually returns 6, pages 5 through 10 inclusive).
- Splitting a file and losing track of which output piece corresponds to which section — download and rename each split file immediately rather than after downloading several.
Tips for Best Results
- Use Organize PDF first if you need to both reorder and split — it's faster than splitting into many single pages and re-merging them in a new order.
- If you only need to remove a few pages rather than extract a range, Remove Pages is usually faster than Split.
Privacy Commitment
We respect your privacy. All files are processed securely and are never sold, shared, or used for anything beyond generating your result.
