Split PDF
Split a PDF into separate files by page range, one file per page, or fixed chunks.
1-3, 4-8, 9 makes three PDFs.About the Split PDF
Four ways to split: custom ranges like 1-3, 4-8 that each become their own file; one file per page; fixed-size chunks; or pulling a scattered set of pages such as 1, 3, 5-7 into a single new document.
When the split produces more than one file they are bundled into a ZIP so you get everything in one download.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pull out just one page?
Use the extract mode and type that page number — you get a one-page PDF back.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The pages are copied across exactly as they are, with no re-encoding.
