Split PDF
Break a long PDF into smaller documents. Give it page ranges like 1-5, 6-12 and you get one file per range, delivered together in a ZIP; or choose Combine into one PDF to pull a single section out and leave the rest behind. Useful for separating a signed contract from its appendices, or a chapter from a scanned book.
How to split a PDF
- Load the PDF. Drop in the file you want to split. The page count appears once it has been read.
- Describe the ranges. Enter ranges such as 1-5, 6-12, 13-20. Each range becomes its own PDF. A single page is written as 7.
- Split and download. Click Split & download. Each range is written out as a separate PDF, and they download together as one ZIP file.
Things worth knowing
- Ranges are inclusive at both ends: 1-5 gives you five pages, not four.
- Ranges may overlap if you need the same page in more than one output file.
- Splitting copies pages as they are, so text remains selectable and image quality is untouched.
Questions people ask
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser using JavaScript, so the file never leaves your device and there is no server to upload to. Once the page has finished loading you can disconnect from the internet and it still works.
How do I extract just one page?
Enter that page number as its own range, for example 7. If you would rather click the pages you want, Extract PDF Pages is a more direct fit.
Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
Yes, by listing each page as a range: 1, 2, 3 and so on. Every page becomes its own PDF inside the ZIP.
Does splitting shrink the file size?
Each output is smaller than the original because it holds fewer pages, but shared resources like embedded fonts are copied into every file that needs them. Total size across the outputs can therefore exceed the original.
