PDF

Need just the signed pages of a contract, or a 300-page manual broken into chapters? Split PDF cuts one document into as many files as you need, using page ranges, a fixed page count, or one file per page. Multiple results arrive together in a ZIP.

How to split a PDF into separate files

  1. Choose the PDF you want to split.
  2. Pick a split mode and enter ranges or a page count.
  3. Split and download the parts individually or as a ZIP.

Good to know

  • Ranges accept open ends: “5-” means page 5 to the last page.
  • Splitting never re-compresses content, so every part keeps the original quality.
  • To pull a handful of pages into a single new file, Extract Pages is quicker.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF into single pages?

Choose “One file per page”. You will get a ZIP containing one PDF for each page, named in page order.

Can I split a scanned PDF?

Yes. Scanned pages are just images inside the PDF, and they are split the same way as text pages.

Does splitting keep bookmarks?

Bookmarks point to pages that may no longer exist in each part, so they are not carried over. Links and text within pages are kept.
