About the Split PDF tool
This tool takes pages out of a PDF. You can pull a continuous range into a single new document, or break a PDF into its individual pages all at once. It is the counterpart to merging — where merge assembles files, split takes them apart.
Two ways to split
Page-range mode is for extracting a specific section: pages 5 to 12 of a report, the signature page of a contract, or one chapter of a book. You get a single PDF containing exactly those pages in order. Every-page mode is for when you need each page as its own file — separating scanned documents that were captured together, or distributing pages individually — and it delivers all the single-page PDFs in one ZIP download.
Lossless extraction
Splitting copies the chosen pages exactly as they exist in the original. Text remains selectable and searchable, vector graphics stay crisp, and nothing is re-compressed or rasterised. The extracted pages are identical in quality to the source — the tool simply rebuilds a PDF from the pages you asked for.
When to use split versus other tools
Use split when a PDF contains more than you need and you want part of it. If you want to combine several PDFs instead, use Merge PDF. If your goal is a smaller file rather than fewer pages, use Compress PDF. If you want the pages as images rather than as a PDF, use PDF to JPG. Splitting is purely about selecting pages.
Limits and compatibility
The PDF can be up to 50 MB. Standard PDFs split cleanly; an encrypted or password-protected file must be unlocked first, since its pages cannot be read while protected. If you request pages beyond the document’s length, the range is adjusted to fit.
Privacy
Your file is uploaded securely, split on the server, and offered for download. The upload and the results are automatically deleted within an hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract just a few pages?
Choose “Page range”, set the From and To page numbers, and process. You get a single new PDF containing exactly those pages.
What does “Every page separately” do?
It turns each page into its own one-page PDF and delivers them together in a ZIP file — useful when you need every page as an individual document.
Does splitting change the page quality?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are, with text and graphics intact — nothing is re-compressed or flattened.
What if I leave the “To” field blank?
It defaults to the last page, so you can extract from a starting page to the end without counting pages.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password first, because the pages cannot be read while the file is encrypted.
