Split a PDF into Separate Files
Break a PDF into individual pages, page ranges, or chapter-based sections. Each piece becomes its own standalone PDF file.
How It Works
Select the PDF you want to break apart
Type the page numbers or ranges — like "1-3, 7, 12-15"
Each selection is saved as its own standalone PDF
Try this example
"Extract pages 3 through 7 from this PDF"Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pick non-consecutive pages?
Yes — use commas and ranges together: "pages 2, 5, 10-15." Each group becomes its own file, or you can combine them into one.
Does splitting change the original file?
The source PDF is never modified. New files are created from the selected pages, and the original remains exactly as uploaded.
How do I get the split files?
If you extract a single range, it downloads directly as a PDF. Multiple extractions are bundled into a ZIP archive so you get everything in one download.
Any page-count limits?
None. A 500-page manual splits just as easily as a 10-page form. Processing time scales linearly, so larger files just take a few extra seconds.
Are bookmarks kept in the split pieces?
Bookmarks that reference pages within the extracted range are carried over. Bookmarks pointing to pages outside the range are removed to keep the output clean.
Can I split unlimited files?
Split as many PDFs as you need — there's no daily cap, no per-file charge, and no subscription. Most paid PDF editors lock this behind a $10-20/month plan.
