Split PDF — Extract or Separate Pages Easily

Break a large PDF into smaller files by page ranges, extract specific pages, or split every page into its own document. Ideal for isolating chapters, invoices, or individual forms.

Why use this page?

  • Multiple split modes: by range, every page, or every N pages
  • Visual page grid for precise page selection
  • Download results individually or as a ZIP archive
  • Original page quality fully preserved
  • Great for isolating chapters, invoices, and forms

When this tool is the right choice

  • Extract one signed page from a long agreement without sending the entire document.
  • Separate a batch scan into one invoice, form, or case file per output PDF.
  • Divide a handbook into chapters using custom page ranges.
  • Create smaller parts when a portal rejects the original file size.

What to expect

  • Page numbers refer to the PDF's physical order, which may differ from numbers printed on the pages.
  • Splitting does not reduce image resolution or file size per page; use Compress PDF afterward if needed.
  • Password-protected files must be unlocked before their pages can be extracted.

File handling: Splitting and page extraction are performed in browser memory for the standard workflow.

How it works

  1. Upload the PDF you want to split.
  2. Choose a split mode: by range, extract specific pages, every page, or every N pages.
  3. Select or specify the pages, then click "Split."
  4. Download the resulting files individually or as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

What split modes are available?

You can split by custom ranges (e.g. 1-3, 5, 7-9), extract hand-picked pages, split every page into its own file, or split every N pages.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

You need to remove the password first. Use our Protect PDF tool to manage encryption, then split the unprotected file.

Does splitting change the page content?

No. Each output file contains exact copies of the original pages with no re-encoding or quality loss.

Can I split a PDF into individual pages?

Yes. Use the 'Every page' mode to automatically create a separate PDF for each page in the document.

Can I extract just one page from a large PDF?

Yes. Enter that page number as the range (for example, page 42 becomes a one-page PDF) or pick it visually in the page grid.

Is there a page limit for splitting?

The applicable page and file-size limits depend on your current plan and device memory. Large documents also take longer to preview and process.
