Split PDF
Separate the pages of a PDF or extract only the ones you need.
Split a PDF into several documents or keep only the pages you need: one chapter of a report, one invoice from a scan that holds several, or the signed page of a contract. You download the result straight away, with no sign-up and no watermarks.
How to split a PDF
- Select the PDF you want to split.
- Choose how: every page separately, by ranges or by extracting pages.
- If you choose ranges or extract, type the pages, for example 1-3, 5.
- Click “Split PDF” and download the result.
Three ways to split it
| Option | What you get | With “1-3, 5” |
|---|---|---|
| Every page | One PDF per page, in a ZIP | No need to type pages |
| By ranges | One PDF per range, in a ZIP | Two PDFs: one with pages 1 to 3 and another with page 5 |
| Extract pages | A single PDF with the pages you chose | One PDF with pages 1, 2, 3 and 5 |
How to type the pages
Type the page numbers separated by commas, with a hyphen for ranges: 1-3, 5, 8-10. The first page is page 1, even if the document has different page numbers printed on it.
When extracting, the pages come out in the order you type them: with 3, 1, 2, page 3 becomes the first one. That also lets you reorder a PDF or delete pages from it: extract every page except the ones you don’t want.
The files you download
If the result is a single PDF, you download it as it is, with the original’s name. If there are several, they come in a ZIP, numbered in order: contract-01.pdf, contract-02.pdf… When you split every page, the number is the page’s number in the original; by ranges, it follows the order you typed them in.
Your pages, exactly as they were
We copy each page without redrawing it: text stays selectable, images keep their quality, and links and form fields are kept. Each new PDF starts clean: it doesn’t carry the original’s bookmarks (the side index) or its internal details, such as the author.
Limitations
- One PDF at a time, up to 50 MB, with 500 pages per document and no more than 100 ranges.
- We can’t split protected PDFs, whether they need a password or only restrict editing.
- To do the opposite and combine several PDFs into one, use Merge PDF. To get the pages as images, use PDF to JPG.
Frequently asked questions
How do I separate the pages of a PDF?
Upload the PDF, keep the “Every page” option selected and click “Split PDF”. You download a ZIP with one PDF for each page, numbered in order.
How do I extract only some pages from a PDF?
Choose “Extract pages” and type the ones you want, for example 2, 5-7. You download a single PDF with those pages, in the order you typed them.
Can I delete pages from a PDF?
Yes: extract every page except the ones you want to delete. For example, to remove page 4 from a 10-page PDF, choose “Extract pages” and type 1-3, 5-10.
Does splitting a PDF reduce its quality?
No. The pages are copied as they are, without compressing them again: text stays selectable and images keep their resolution.
Can I split several PDFs at once?
No: you split one PDF at a time, because the pages you choose belong to that document. When you’re done, click “Split another PDF” to move on to the next one.
