How to use

  1. Choose a PDF file.
  2. Pick how to split: by page ranges, every few pages, every page, or extract pages.
  3. Check the previews: each page shows which file it goes into.
  4. Select Split PDF and download the files, one by one or all in a ZIP.

Examples

A scanned bundle holds three documents

Choose By page ranges and type 1-4, 5-9, 10-. You get three PDFs, named after their pages, and can download them one by one or together in a ZIP.

Only the signed pages are needed

Choose Extract pages, tap the pages you want in the preview, or type 2, 7-8, and save them as one new PDF.

A long report must be sent in parts

Choose Every few pages and enter 10. A 45-page report becomes five files: four of 10 pages and one of 5.

Limitations

  • One PDF at a time, up to 50 MB and 200 pages.
  • Password-protected PDFs cannot be split. Remove the password in the app that created the file first.
  • Fillable form fields, digital signatures and attachments may not be preserved. Splitting invalidates digital signatures.

Privacy

This tool processes files on your device. Files are not uploaded for processing, and nothing you choose is stored after you close or reset the page. Read our privacy notice.

Troubleshooting

The PDF is marked as protected

That PDF is encrypted. Open it in the app that created it, remove the password and save a new copy.

A page is not in any file

With page ranges, pages you do not list are left out and marked Skipped in the preview. Add them to a range, such as 9- for the rest of the document.

Questions and answers

How do I split a PDF into separate files?

Choose your PDF, pick By page ranges and type the ranges separated by commas, such as 1-3, 4-6. Each range becomes its own PDF.

How do I save only some pages of a PDF?

Choose Extract pages, select the pages in the preview or type them, such as 1, 3-5, and press Extract pages. You get one new PDF with just those pages.

Can I split a PDF into single pages?

Yes. Choose Every page and every page becomes its own PDF. Download them all at once as a ZIP.

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Splitting runs in your browser on your device.
