Split PDF Online

Split a PDF into multiple smaller PDFs. Choose a split mode — split every page, split by ranges, split into groups, or extract specific pages — and download the resulting PDFs individually or as a ZIP archive. Split PDF is useful when you need to send only part of a document or break a long file into chapters.

Quick answer: A PDF splitter creates smaller PDFs from a single PDF. Upload a PDF, choose how to split it (every page, by range, in groups, or selected pages), and download the resulting PDFs or a ZIP.

  • Separate a scanned batch into individual documents

Options explained

Split every page creates one PDF per page. Split by range creates a PDF from any custom page range. Split into groups creates PDFs of N pages each. Extract selected pages creates a single PDF containing the pages you choose. Use the page thumbnails to confirm your selection.

Troubleshooting

  • Files must be under 50 MB.
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
  • Very long PDFs (300+ pages) may use a lot of memory — split in stages if needed.
