How it works

How to split a PDF

To split a PDF, open it above, choose how to split, and download the result. You can pull selected pages into a new file, cut the document into several files by page range, or save every page as its own PDF.

Pages are copied without being re-rendered, so text stays sharp and searchable. Your original file is not changed.

  1. 01

    Open your PDF

    Choose a file or drag it onto the page. Thumbnails of every page appear so you can see what you are working with.

  2. 02

    Pick a split method

    “Extract” puts the pages you select into one new PDF. “By ranges” makes one file per range. “Every page” makes one file per page.

  3. 03

    Choose the pages

    Click thumbnails to select them (Shift-click selects a run), or type pages and ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-.

  4. 04

    Download

    A single result downloads as a PDF. Several results can be downloaded one by one or together as a ZIP.

Features

What it does well

  • Three ways to split

    Extract a selection, split into ranges, or burst every page. Switch between them without reopening the file.

  • Type or click

    The page selector and the range box stay in sync, so you can click to start and type to fine-tune.

  • Order you choose

    When extracting, pages go into the new file in the order you type them, so 5, 1-2 puts page 5 first.

  • Clear names

    Output files are named after the original and the pages they contain, such as report-pages-4-6.pdf.

Good to know

  • Bookmarks and internal links are not kept in the split files.
  • Very long documents split into every page produce many files; the ZIP download keeps them together.
  • Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.

Privacy

The PDF is opened and split inside your browser. No page of it is uploaded, and the files you download are created on your device.

Questions

Split PDF FAQ

How do I save just one page of a PDF?
Choose Extract, click the page (or type its number), and press Extract. You get a one-page PDF.
What does “8-” mean in a range?
A range with no end number runs to the last page. In a 12-page file, 8- means pages 8 to 12.
Can I split a PDF into equal parts?
Use “By ranges” and type each part, for example 1-10, 11-20, 21-30. Each range becomes its own file.
Is extracting pages the same as deleting the others?
The result is the same: a file with only the pages you want. If it is easier to pick the pages you do not want, use Delete PDF Pages instead.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are. Only the page count of each file changes.
