Split PDF

Cut a PDF into several files: by ranges such as 1-3, 4-10, every few pages, or one file per page. You get a zip of the parts.

Ranges, parts and the zip

Each comma-separated range becomes its own file, so “1-3, 4-6, 7-” gives three PDFs. Ranges may overlap, so a cover page can go into every part. Splitting every N pages is the quick way to break a scanned batch into equal documents.

Several parts download as a single .zip so the browser asks only once. The zip is stored without compression, because PDF pages are already compressed and squeezing them again only costs time. Each part is a complete PDF that opens on its own.

A typo never produces a short file: a range past the last page, or a part that isn’t a page number, stops the split with a message saying what to fix, such as “There are only 12 pages”.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write page ranges?

Separate parts with commas: “1-3, 4-6” makes two files. “8-” runs to the end, “-3” starts at page 1, and “last” means the final page. Each part becomes its own PDF.

Will the split files lose quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are, without re-compressing text or images, so each part looks exactly like the original.

Can I split one PDF into single pages?

Yes. Choose one file per page and you get a PDF for every page, all in one zip. For a handful of pages, Extract pages is quicker.
