Split PDF
Split a PDF into one file per page. Delivered as a zip archive.
About Split PDF
The Split PDF tool breaks one PDF into smaller files: extract a single page, pull out a range, or explode the document into one file per page. When multiple files are produced they download together as a ZIP.
Range extraction is useful when only one continuous section is needed: for example, pages 8–14 of a long report. Every-page mode is designed for workflows where each sheet must become an independent attachment or be renamed and distributed separately. Page numbers refer to the visible PDF order and are checked against the document length before export.
Splitting runs in your browser, making it safe for contracts, ID scans and transcripts. It copies the selected pages into new files without screenshotting them, so selectable text, embedded images, fonts and the original page dimensions remain intact.
How Split PDF works in practice
- 1Upload the PDF you want to split.
- 2Choose a mode: "extract range" for specific pages, or "every page" for one file per page.
- 3For range mode, enter the start and end page numbers.
- 4Click "Split PDF" and download the result (ZIP if multiple files).
Jobs this tool is built for
- Extract the signature page from a completed agreement for a records request.
- Separate a multi-page scan into one PDF per invoice before uploading it to bookkeeping software.
- Pull a chapter or appendix from a large manual to share with a colleague.
- Divide a combined student transcript or application packet into the individual documents requested by a portal.
What you can do here
- Extract any single page or continuous range
- One-file-per-page mode
- ZIP packaging for multiple outputs
- Live page-count validation against invalid ranges
- Preserves text, images, fonts and page size exactly
Limits and honest caveats
- The range mode extracts one continuous sequence; for several non-adjacent pages, split more than once and merge the results if needed.
- Every-page mode may create many files, so outputs are grouped in a ZIP for a manageable download.
- Processing is local to the browser; very large PDFs may require substantial device memory.
Common questions about Split PDF
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Remove the password first with the PDF Password Remover, then split.
Will splitting reduce file size?
Each output is smaller in proportion to its pages. Use Compress PDF for further shrinking.
Can I extract non-consecutive pages in one operation?
The current range option selects a continuous start-to-end range. Extract separate ranges individually, then merge those outputs if you need one file.
Why did I receive a ZIP file?
When an operation produces several PDFs, the tool packages them in one ZIP so the browser does not prompt for dozens of separate downloads.
