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.
