How to split a PDF
Sometimes you only need chapter three, or you want each invoice as its own file. Splitting lets you carve a big PDF into the pieces you actually need.
Open Split PDFStep by step
- Open the Split PDF tool and drop your file in.
- Choose how to split: by page ranges, every N pages, or a custom selection.
- Download the pieces (as a ZIP when there's more than one).
Split vs. extract
Splitting is best when you want to divide a document into chunks, like one file per chapter. Extracting is best when you just want to keep a specific set of pages as a single new PDF.
Keeping it private
This tool runs in your browser, so the PDF is split on your own device and never uploaded. That's useful for statements, medical records, or anything you'd rather not send to a server.
