How to use the Split PDF

  1. 1

    Select a PDF file. The total number of pages is shown.

  2. 2

    Choose a mode: extract a page range, split every page, or split every N pages.

  3. 3

    For ranges, type something like “1-3, 5, 8-10”.

  4. 4

    Click “Split PDF” and download a single PDF or a ZIP of several files.

Features & benefits

  • Three split modes

    Custom ranges, one file per page, or fixed-size chunks.

  • Flexible ranges

    Combine single pages and ranges such as “2, 4-6, 10-” in any order.

  • ZIP download

    Multiple output files are bundled into one ZIP for convenience.

  • Lossless

    Pages are copied without re-compression, so quality is untouched.

Writing page ranges

Ranges use commas to separate parts and hyphens for spans. “1-3, 7” extracts pages 1, 2, 3 and 7 into one document. An open-ended range such as “10-” means page 10 to the last page.

Choose “Each range as a separate file” to turn “1-3, 4-6” into two PDFs. Splitting every page is useful for scanned documents where each page is a separate receipt or form.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reorder pages while extracting?

Yes. Pages are output in the order you type them, so “5, 1-4” puts page 5 first.

Is the original file changed?

No. Your original PDF is only read; new files are created for download.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Yes. Splitting works on any unencrypted PDF regardless of whether the pages contain text or images.
