How to use Split PDF

  1. Upload a PDF file.
  2. Choose a split mode: extract selected pages, split into one-page-per-file, or use custom ranges.
  3. In extract mode, click page numbers to toggle them.
  4. In ranges mode, write ranges like '1-3, 5, 7-10' — each becomes one output PDF.
  5. Click Split, then download the result (ZIP if multiple files).

Common PDF splitting scenarios

You receive a large document and only need a few pages. Extracting the relevant pages creates a smaller, shareable PDF without noise.

A multi-chapter ebook, scanned book, or compiled report needs to be broken into separate files — one per section. Use custom ranges to do this in one pass.

You scanned a stack of documents together, and now need to separate each one. Split into individual pages, then recombine (with the merge tool) any multi-page documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What split modes are supported?
Extract selected pages into a single PDF, split into individual single-page PDFs, or split by custom ranges like "1-3, 5, 7-10". Pick whichever matches your workflow.
How do I write page ranges?
Comma-separated. Individual pages: "5". Ranges: "1-3". Combined: "1-3, 5, 7-10". Each range (or individual page) becomes one output PDF.
Can I work with password-protected PDFs?
No. Remove the password first using Acrobat, a desktop tool, or your operating system's PDF viewer.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser.
