How to split a PDF file
- Add the PDF file you want to split.
- Pick a mode: every page, every N pages or custom ranges.
- Click Split and download the resulting files.
Scanned all your payslips or a quarter's invoices into one file, and now each document has to be sent or filed on its own? Split PDF cuts the document into as many files as you need, without touching the content of the pages. It is just as useful for sending only one chapter of a long report.
There are three modes. “Every page into its own file” makes one PDF per page. “Every N pages” makes regular chunks: choose 2 for a stack of double-sided documents, for example. “Custom ranges” lets you describe each file: 1-3, 4-6, 7- gives three PDFs, the last one running from page 7 to the end.
Output files are named with their page numbers so they are easy to tell apart. If you only want to keep a few pages in a single file, use Extract pages instead. The original PDF is not changed, and all files are deleted after 30 minutes.
