Split a PDF File
Split a PDF into separate files by page range or every N pages.
What does Split PDF do?
Break a large PDF into smaller documents. Split at specific pages, extract custom ranges as separate files, or divide the whole document into fixed-size chunks. Each output is a proper PDF with its text intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a PDF into individual pages?
Choose the "every page" mode. A 20-page document produces 20 single-page PDFs, each named with its page number.
What range syntax does it accept?
Comma-separated pages and hyphenated ranges: "1-3, 7, 12-20" produces three files. Pages are numbered from 1 and out-of-range numbers are reported rather than silently ignored.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied at the object level, so images, fonts and vector content are byte-identical to the original. Only the pages you did not select are left out.
Can I split a very large PDF?
Yes, subject to your device memory. Documents of a few hundred megabytes work on a desktop browser; on mobile, splitting into fewer, larger chunks is more reliable.
