How to split a PDF
- Drop a PDF on the box above.
- Choose a split mode: Select pages, Custom ranges, Every N pages or Every page.
- Select the button, which says what you'll get, for example Split into 3 files. One file downloads as a PDF; several come as one ZIP with Download all.
Split modes
| Select pages | The pages you click or type go into one new PDF. All, Odd and Even buttons select pages for you. |
|---|---|
| Custom ranges | Each comma-separated range becomes its own PDF, for example 1-3, 4-6, 7-. |
| Every N pages | Fixed-size parts. If the page count doesn't divide evenly, the last file is shorter. |
| Every page | One PDF per page. |
| Range syntax | 8- means page 8 to the last page. Combine ranges and single pages with commas: 1-3, 5, 8-. |
Limits
- Each new file keeps only the bookmarks that point to its pages.
- Splitting by file size or by bookmark isn't available.
Where your file goes
Splitting runs in this browser tab. Your PDF isn't uploaded, and your original file isn't changed; the parts are new files that go to your downloads.
If you're signed in, the result panel also offers Save to My documents. Only that button uploads the file, to your account's storage.
Questions
How do I save just one page of a PDF?
Choose Select pages, click that page's thumbnail or type its number, then select Extract 1 page. You get a one-page PDF.
Can I split a PDF into equal parts?
Yes. Choose Every N pages and enter how many pages each file should have. If the page count doesn't divide evenly, the last file is shorter.
What does 8- mean in a range?
Page 8 to the end of the document. You can mix ranges and single pages: 1-3, 5, 8-.
Does splitting change my original PDF?
No. New files are created in your browser and downloaded. The file you opened stays as it was.
How are the new files named?
After the pages they contain, for example report-pages-1-3.pdf or report-page-5.pdf. With several files, Download all saves them in one ZIP.
