How to use the PDF Split

  1. 1

    Open a PDF with the Open PDF button or drop it onto the page. Every page appears as a thumbnail.

  2. 2

    Choose how to split: every N pages, custom ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 7-, one file per page, only the pages you selected, or odd and even pages.

  3. 3

    Check the Result list on the right. It shows each file that will be created and how many pages it holds.

  4. 4

    Rotate, delete or reorder pages first if needed; the split follows the order you see.

  5. 5

    Press Download all as zip to get every file at once, or download a single file from its row.

Split a PDF without uploading it

Splitting is usually about sending only what someone needs: the signed pages of a contract, one chapter of a manual, a single month from a year of statements. This tool opens the PDF in your browser, shows every page as a thumbnail, and writes the parts you choose as new PDFs on your own device.

The split options cover the common cases. Every N pages breaks a long scan into equal batches. Custom ranges handle anything irregular, one file per range. One file per page is handy for invoices that were scanned together. Odd and even pages separate the fronts and backs of a double-sided scan.

What stays the same

Each page is copied into its new file rather than rendered as an image, so the output is identical to the original: the same fonts, the same vector drawings, searchable text and the original page size. You can still rotate pages that were scanned sideways, delete blank pages or move pages around before splitting, and the result list on the right updates as you go.

To change the order of pages and save a single PDF, use PDF Page Reorder. To combine files back together or turn images into a PDF, use the PDF Converter, and to save pages as pictures use PDF to Image.

Frequently asked questions

How do I extract specific pages from a PDF?
Open the PDF, click the pages you want (Shift-click selects a range, Ctrl-click adds single pages), choose Selected pages only and press Download PDF. Or pick Custom ranges and type something like 2-5, which produces one file containing pages 2 to 5.
How do custom ranges work?
Each comma-separated part becomes its own file. 1-3, 4-6, 7- creates three files: pages 1 to 3, pages 4 to 6, and page 7 to the end. A single number such as 9 makes a one-page file. The numbers follow the order shown on screen, so if you moved pages first, the ranges use the new order.
Will splitting reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Pages are copied into the new files with their original text, fonts, images and vector graphics, so nothing is re-rendered or compressed. Text remains searchable and selectable in every output file.
Can I split a large PDF into one file per page?
Yes. Choose One file per page and press Download all as zip. File names are numbered with leading zeros, such as page-007.pdf, so they sort correctly in any file manager.
Why can I not split a password-protected PDF?
The password lets the page thumbnails display, but the browser cannot rewrite encrypted page content. Remove the password in the application that created the file, or print it to a new PDF, then split that copy.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is read, previewed and split inside your browser tab. The output files are created on your device and downloaded directly, so contracts and statements never leave your computer.
