How to split a PDF

Break a large PDF into smaller files, or pull out just the pages you need, in seconds. Choose to split by page range for extracting a specific section, or split every page into its own file.

This is the right tool when you only need part of a document — a single chapter from a report, one form from a scanned batch, or a smaller file that fits under an email attachment limit. Upload your PDF, choose your split method, select your pages, and download the results.

All uploads are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted within 12 hours. No sign-up needed, and no limit on how many PDFs you can split.

Looking to combine files instead? Try Merge PDF to bring separate documents back into one file, or Organize PDF to reorder pages without creating new files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract just one page?
Yes. Enter a single number (e.g. 7) as your range and you'll get that page as its own file.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Yes. Scanned PDFs split exactly like digital ones, page by page.
Does splitting remove my original file?
No. Your original is never modified — splitting always creates new output files.
