Three ways to split a PDF
Split PDF files the way the task needs. With ranges, you type the parts you want separated by commas: “1-3, 5, 8-10” gives you three PDFs, one per range. This is the mode to use when you know exactly where each section starts and ends.
“Every N pages” cuts the document into equal chunks. Set it to 2 and a 20-page file becomes ten PDFs of two pages each, which is handy for batches of scanned forms that are all the same length. “One page per file” turns every page into its own PDF.
When splitting saves you time
A scanner often puts a whole stack of papers into one long PDF. If you scanned your ID, a utility bill and a bank letter in one go, splitting by ranges gives you three separate files, ready to upload to the three different fields of an application form.
Teachers split a class set of scanned exams so each student gets their own file. Office staff split a monthly batch of invoices into one PDF per invoice. And when an email server rejects a huge attachment, you can split the document into parts and send them in separate messages.
Private by design
The PDF is read and split inside your browser. It never leaves your device and nothing is stored on our side. There’s no sign-up and no limit on how many documents you split; the only constraint is how much memory your phone or computer has.
Pages are copied without recompression, so each part looks exactly like the matching pages of the original. Text stays selectable. If the PDF has a password, remove it first with “Unlock PDF”.
Split, extract or remove?
Split is for cutting the whole document into several pieces. If you only want a few pages in a single new file, “Extract pages” is quicker. If you want to keep almost everything and throw away a couple of pages, use “Remove pages”. Pick the tool that matches the result you want and you’ll have fewer clicks.
Planning your ranges
Open the PDF first and note where each part begins. Writing the ranges down before you type them avoids mistakes with long documents. Each range you type becomes its own PDF, so the number of ranges tells you how many files you’ll get.
After splitting, give each file a clear name before you send it, such as “invoice-march.pdf” instead of a generic numbered name. The person receiving it will thank you.
