About this tool
Need only pages 4 to 7 of a long document? Split PDF lets you extract exact page ranges into a new file, save every page as its own PDF, or cut the document into equal parts. Files with several outputs are packed into a ZIP for one easy download.
How to use it
- Choose a PDF.
- Select what you want: specific pages, every page, or parts of a fixed length.
- For page ranges, type them like 1-3, 5, 8-10. Then select Split PDF and download.
When this is useful
- Send only the pages a person needs.
- Separate the chapters of a long document.
- Save each page as its own file.
- Cut a big PDF into parts small enough to email.
Tips for best results
- Look at the page numbers in your PDF viewer before typing ranges.
- Use "parts of a fixed length" to make equal pieces.
- ZIP downloads keep many small files together.
- For picking pages by sight, use Organize PDF.
Good to know
Pages are copied exactly. Bookmarks, links between pages and form fields may not carry over into the new files.
Questions and answers
How do I write page ranges?
Separate ranges with commas. For example, 1-3, 5, 8-10 extracts pages 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10. An open end like 8- means page 8 to the last page.
Does splitting change the pages?
No. Pages are copied exactly as they are.
Can I split a password protected PDF?
Not directly. Remove the password first, then split it.
How is this different from Extract pages?
Split PDF can cut a whole document into parts. Extract pages is a shortcut for when you only want to keep some pages.
