Split PDF
Upload a PDF file and separate every page or create custom page-range parts.
PRACTICAL WORKFLOW NOTES
Plan the Split Before You Create New PDF Files
A long PDF does not always need to stay as one document. Split PDF lets you turn one or more PDFs into smaller files without rebuilding every page by hand. Choose a simple one-page-per-file split, cut after a specific page, or define custom ranges such as 1–3, 4–6, and 7. The tool works with the existing PDF pages rather than turning them into screenshots.
Select the PDF files you want to separate in the same browser workspace. Split every page, split after a chosen page, or enter the custom page groups you need. Use clear ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 7 so each output contains the intended pages.
The useful controls in Split PDF are meant to solve different file situations. Use this when every source page needs to become a separate PDF file. Create two parts by choosing the page where the first document should end. Build several outputs from ranges such as 1-5, 6-8, and 9-12 instead of splitting every page.
The current split workflow processes the selected PDF contents in your browser and creates new PDF parts from the pages you choose. If the next task changes, Merge PDF is the better follow-up when you need to put separate PDF parts back into one ordered document.
How to Use Split PDF
Follow the workflow below and review the result before downloading.
Add one or more PDFs
Select the PDF files you want to separate in the same browser workspace.
Choose a split method
Split every page, split after a chosen page, or enter the custom page groups you need.
Check the ranges
Use clear ranges such as 1-3, 4-6, 7 so each output contains the intended pages.
Choose output naming
Use page or range-based filenames, or simpler numbered part names when that is easier to manage.
Split and download
Create the separate PDFs, then download them one by one or collect multiple results in a ZIP.
Three Ways to Separate a PDF
The right split method depends on whether you need individual pages, two large sections, or several specific page groups.
Every page as its own PDF
Use this when every source page needs to become a separate PDF file.
Split after one page
Create two parts by choosing the page where the first document should end.
Custom page ranges
Build several outputs from ranges such as 1-5, 6-8, and 9-12 instead of splitting every page.
Multiple source PDFs
Add more than one PDF to the same session and handle each source without opening a separate page.
Original PDF pages stay PDF pages
The split operation copies the selected source pages into new PDF files; it does not intentionally rasterize them into page images.
ZIP for a larger batch
When the split creates many files, download the successful outputs together instead of saving every part manually.

Rotate PDF
Rotate all pages or selected PDF pages left, right, or 180 degrees.
Delete PDF Pages
Remove unwanted pages when you do not need separate output files.
Add Page Numbers
Number the pages after creating the final sections.
PRIVACY & RESPONSIBLE USE
Split PDFs in the Browser
The current split workflow processes the selected PDF contents in your browser and creates new PDF parts from the pages you choose.
See File Security & Processing and the Privacy Policy for broader site-level details.
Use files you are allowed to process
Splitting a document does not change copyright, confidentiality duties, or access restrictions.
No password bypass
The tool does not bypass passwords, encryption, DRM, or document restrictions.
Large jobs use device memory
Very large PDFs or many outputs can require more browser memory because the work runs on your device.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split a PDF into individual pages?
Yes. Choose the every-page option and each source page is created as its own PDF output.
Can I split only specific page ranges?
Yes. Enter custom groups such as 1-3, 4-6, 7. Each group becomes a separate PDF.
Can I split several PDF files in one session?
Yes. Add multiple PDFs and split each source in the same workspace.
Does splitting convert the PDF pages into images?
No. The current split workflow copies the selected PDF pages into new PDF documents rather than intentionally rendering every page as an image.
Can I download all split files together?
Yes. You can download individual outputs or download multiple successful results together as a ZIP.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server for splitting?
The current Split PDF workflow processes the selected document contents in your browser and does not create a remote conversion copy for the split operation.
