Split PDF Files
A fast online split PDF tool. Extract pages, divide a PDF into chunks, or separate every page into its own file - all in the browser, no signup.
Use this split PDF tool to extract pages from a PDF, divide a large document into smaller parts, or turn each page into a standalone file. Pick a mode, preview your selection, and download the outputs - either individually or as a single ZIP.
Useful when a form asks for a specific page, when a report needs to be chunked by chapter, or when every invoice in a batch should live in its own file. Text and internal links are preserved in each split output.
How to split a PDF
Four steps to the pages you need.
1. Upload
Drop the PDF you want to split into pieces.
2. Pick a mode
Range, every N pages, per-page, or at bookmarks.
3. Preview
Confirm which pages belong to each output file.
4. Download
Save each output or grab the whole set as a ZIP.
Ways to split a PDF
Pick the mode that matches your goal.
By page range
Extract specific pages or ranges - e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10 - into one output PDF.
By every N pages
Cut the PDF into chunks of equal size: every 1, 5, 10, or 25 pages.
Split each page
Turn every page into its own single-page PDF file.
Split at bookmarks
Use the PDF’s bookmarks as split points - handy for chaptered documents.
Extract specific pages with a range
Use the page range input to pull out exactly the pages you need. Separate ranges with commas, and use a dash for inclusive ranges.
Example: 1-3, 5, 8-10 keeps pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10 in the output.
Common pitfalls
Forgetting ranges are inclusive
A range like 1-3 includes pages 1, 2, and 3. Double-check to avoid missing a page.
Splitting a scanned PDF and expecting text
Each split file keeps only what the original PDF contains. Scans without OCR still won’t have searchable text after splitting.
Forgetting the single-page extract
If you only need page 7, there’s no need to split the whole PDF - use a single range like 7 and download that one page.
Losing bookmarks
Bookmarks that point into removed pages won’t carry over. Split at bookmarks mode preserves structure for chaptered docs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the split PDF tool free to use?
Yes. It’s free and runs in your browser - no signup, no install.

How do I split a PDF into equal parts?
Choose the ‘Split every N pages’ mode and enter a chunk size (for example, every 5 or 10 pages). The tool generates one PDF per chunk.
What’s the best way to separate a book into chapters?
Use ‘Split at bookmarks’ if the PDF has them. Otherwise, use a page-range list based on your table of contents.
