How to split a PDF
Cut one PDF into several smaller files, or separate out the pages you need, using custom page ranges, fixed-size chunks or one file per page.
Add the PDF you want to split.
Choose custom ranges (e.g. 1-3, 4-8), every N pages, or every page into its own file.
Click Split PDF and download the parts, zipped together if there are several.
Which split option to choose
Custom ranges is the right choice when you know which pages belong together: type something like 1-3, 5, 8-end and each range becomes its own PDF. Tick "Merge all ranges into one PDF" if you want those pages gathered into a single file instead, which is the quickest way to pull a few sections out of a long report.
Every N pages is for documents with a fixed rhythm, such as a stack of two-page forms scanned in one go: set N to 2 and every form becomes a separate file. Every page into its own file is for handing out single pages, or for feeding one page at a time into another tool.
Splitting by chapters, size or content instead
Page numbers are not always the natural boundary. If the PDF has bookmarks, Split by Bookmarks makes one file per chapter and names each part after its heading. If an email or upload form rejects the file for being too large, Split by Size cuts it into parts that each stay under a limit you set, without you working out page numbers. Split by Text starts a new file on every page that contains a word or phrase, which separates a batch of invoices or letters by the name printed on them.
Whatever you choose, the original PDF is never modified. The parts are new files, zipped together when there are several, and named after the original with the page range or part number added so you can tell them apart.
