Split PDF Guide
What is Split PDF?
Split PDF extracts specific pages or page ranges from a PDF document into separate files. This is essential when you receive a large combined document but only need certain sections — extracting invoice pages from a statement, pulling specific chapters from a manual, or separating individual forms from a multi-page scan. The tool gives you visual page previews so you can select exactly which pages to extract, and outputs each selection as a standalone PDF ready for sharing, filing, or further processing.
Split PDF examples
- Use Split PDF for a quick browser-based workflow without installing desktop software.
- Prepare output for a project, document, website, or internal workflow.
- Save repeat visits by adding this tool to favorites from the tool page or home page.
How to use Split PDF
- Upload the PDF document you want to split.
- Browse page thumbnails to identify the pages you need.
- Select individual pages or enter page ranges (e.g., 1-3, 5, 8-12).
- Choose whether to extract as separate files or one combined subset.
- Download the extracted pages as individual PDFs or a ZIP archive.
Common questions
Can I extract non-consecutive pages?
Yes. You can select any combination of individual pages and ranges. For example, pages 1, 3, 7-10 can all be extracted together or as separate files.
Does splitting affect the quality of the original PDF?
No. Pages are extracted exactly as they exist in the source document. Text, images, and formatting remain unchanged.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
You need to unlock the PDF first using the Unlock PDF tool, then split the unprotected version.
What happens to bookmarks and links after splitting?
Internal bookmarks and cross-page links may not work in extracted subsets since they reference pages that may no longer be present.
