Split a PDF into multiple files

Divide a PDF into separate files by page range, extracting exactly the pages you need without installing any desktop software.

Extract specific page ranges from a PDF or break it into separate files. Useful for pulling out a chapter, a form, or a single page without touching the rest of the document.

Two ways to split

Leave the ranges empty and every page becomes its own PDF. Or type ranges such as 1-3, 4-10, 11-12 and each range becomes one file. The output is a single zip archive so you download everything in one go.

Splitting copies pages without re-encoding them, so quality and file size per page stay the same as in the original.

Split or extract?

Split always produces several files. If you want one new PDF containing a hand-picked set of pages, for example pages 2, 5 and 9 in that order, Extract Pages is the better tool.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload the PDF you want to split.
  2. Choose the page ranges you need (or leave blank to split every page).
  3. Download the result as individual files or a zip.

Frequently asked questions

Tips

  • Ranges are inclusive and use the page numbers your PDF reader shows, starting at 1.
