Split PDF

Extract pages or page ranges.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter or upload leaves your device.

What the PDF splitter does

The PDF splitter copies chosen pages out of a PDF into new files. It helps when you only need to send the signed page of a contract, when a long scan should be broken into chapters, or when a statement holds several invoices that belong in separate files.

There are three ways to split: pull out a list of pages, save every page as its own file, or cut the document into equal chunks of a set number of pages.

How to use the PDF splitter

Take pages out of a PDF, or split it into several files.

  1. Drop a PDF.
  2. Choose Extract pages and enter a range such as 1-3, 5, 8-, or split into single pages, or every N pages.
  3. Press Split PDF. Several files come as one ZIP download.

Understanding the results

Extract pages gives you one PDF ending in -pages.pdf, holding just the pages you listed. Every page separately makes one file per page, named like report-page-3.pdf. Every N pages starts at 2 pages per file and names each part after its first and last page, such as report-pages-1-2.pdf; the last part can be shorter if the pages don’t divide evenly.

Whenever a split produces more than one file, they are bundled into a single ZIP ending in -split.zip. If it produces only one, for example when the chunk size is larger than the document, you get that PDF directly. The file name and page count appear under the drop area as soon as you add a PDF, which helps you check your range before you split.

Questions

How do I write a page range?

Use commas between parts and a dash for ranges: “1-3, 5” gives pages 1, 2, 3 and 5. “8-” means page 8 to the end, and “-3” means pages 1 to 3. Pages appear in the order you type them, and a page listed twice is only included once.

Can I reorder or reverse pages?

Yes. Because order is kept, “3, 1, 2” puts page 3 first, and a backwards range such as “10-1” gives you the pages in reverse.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are.

Do my files leave my computer?

No. Splitting happens in your browser.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

No. Remove the password first, then split the unlocked copy.
