Large PDFs are convenient to store but awkward to share when someone only needs part of them. Splitting lets you send one chapter, separate a batch of scanned invoices, or get under an upload limit.
Three ways to split a PDF
The PDF Splitter offers three modes:
- Every page — one PDF per page. Handy for batches of single-page invoices or forms.
- Custom ranges — you decide which pages go together, e.g.
1-3, 4-10, 11-end. - Every N pages — equal parts, for example every 2 pages for double-sided forms, or every 10 pages to break up a long document.
- Open the PDF Splitter and choose your file. The page count appears.
- Select a mode.
- For custom ranges, type them in the box.
- Click Split PDF.
- Download the parts individually or all together as a ZIP.
Writing page ranges
- Separate ranges with commas:
1-3, 7, 10-12. - Use end for the last page:
5-end. - A backwards range reverses the order:
10-1. - Each range becomes one output file.
Split or extract?
These two tools are easy to mix up:
- Split creates several files.
- Extract creates one new file containing only the pages you choose.
If you just want pages 2, 5 and 9 in a single PDF, the PDF Page Extractor is faster. Read more in How to extract pages from a PDF.
After splitting
- Need to put some parts back together in a different order? Use the PDF Merger.
- Parts still too big? The PDF Compressor can help.
Conclusion
Choose Every page, Custom ranges or Every N pages, split, and download a ZIP. Pages keep their original quality, and your document stays on your device throughout.
