About this tool
Four ways to split a PDF
Sometimes you only need one page of a long document, such as a signed page, a single invoice or one chapter. Other times you need to break a large scan into separate files. Splitting a PDF lets you share only what's relevant and keeps file sizes small.
Pick pages shows every page as a thumbnail; click the pages you want (or select all odd or even pages) and they're extracted into one PDF. Custom ranges creates one file per range, such as 1-3, 4-8, 9-. Every N pages splits a long document into equal parts, and Every page gives you one PDF per page. Multiple files download together as a zip.
Visual page picker
See thumbnails and click the pages to extract. Odd and even shortcuts included.
Custom ranges
One output file per range, like 1-3, 4-8, 9-.
Equal parts
Split every 2, 5 or N pages for long scans and reports.
Private and lossless
Pages are copied exactly, on your device.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract one page from a PDF?
Choose Pick pages, click the page you want and click Split PDF. You'll get a new PDF with just that page.
How do I write page ranges?
Separate ranges with commas: 1-3, 5, 8-. A range with no end, like 8-, runs to the last page. Each range becomes its own PDF.
Does splitting change the original file?
No. Your original PDF isn't modified; new files are created and downloaded.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Remove the password first with Protect PDF's Remove a password option, then split the unlocked copy.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files and text never leave your device, so it's safe for private or confidential work.
