How to split a PDF into separate pages or sections

Splitting a PDF is useful when you only need part of a file or when a portal has a size cap. Split PDF offers four ways to divide a document, so pick the one that matches your goal.

Steps

Open Split PDF. Upload the PDF.
Choose how to split. By page ranges (for example 1-3, 4-6, 7), every page, fixed number of pages per file, or by maximum file size.
Run the split. The parts are packaged together as a ZIP.
Download. Unzip and use the files you need. Choose "merge ranges" if you want a single PDF instead.

Open the tool: Split PDF

Good to know

Check page numbers in a viewer first; printed numbers can differ from file page numbers.
If you only want to delete some pages and keep the rest, Remove Pages is quicker.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get one file or many?

Many files, delivered as a ZIP. If you merge ranges you get one PDF.

Can I split by file size?

Yes. Set a maximum size and the PDF is divided into parts that stay under it.

Does splitting change the content?

No. Pages are copied as they are.
