What splitting a PDF does
Splitting a PDF means breaking one document into smaller pieces. You can turn every page into its own file, pull out a few pages by range, or extract a handful of pages into a single new PDF. Whatever shape the document needs to be in, this tool cuts it down to that.
When you actually need this
A PDF shows up with ten pages when you only need to send page three. A scanned file has several receipts in it and each one needs to go to a different person. You want the first chapters of an ebook as a sample. Instead of sending the whole document or taking screenshots, split it into exactly what you need.
How to split a PDF
Drop your PDF into the box above, then pick how you want it split. Split every page turns each page into its own PDF. Split by ranges lets you type something like 1-3, 4-6 and get one file per range. Extract pages into one PDF is for pulling a handful of pages into a single document — type 1-3, 5 and get one PDF with those four pages. Multiple files download together as a ZIP.
A few things worth knowing
Split files look exactly like the original — text stays selectable, images keep their quality, and page size and orientation are preserved. Everything runs in your browser, so your document never gets uploaded anywhere. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. And if you split a file and later want those pages back together, the Merge PDF tool does the reverse.
