Split PDF
âšī¸ How it works:
- Upload your PDF file
- Enter the pages and ranges to separate
- Download the results as a ZIP
Split a PDF into Separate Files
Break a multi-page PDF into separate documents by page number and range. Type the pages you want — for example 1-3, 5, 7-9 — and each entry becomes its own PDF. All the resulting files are bundled into a single ZIP for download. Splitting is lossless, so your pages come out exactly as they went in. No sign-up and no watermarks.
How to Split a PDF
- Click the upload area above or drag and drop your PDF (up to 10 MB).
- On the next screen (which shows the total page count), enter pages and ranges separated by commas, e.g. 1-3, 5, 7-9.
- Split and download a ZIP containing the resulting PDFs.
How the Page Input Works
- A range like
1-3→ one PDF containing pages 1, 2 and 3 - A single page like
5→ a one-page PDF - A combination like
1-3, 5, 7-9→ three separate PDFs (pages 1-3, page 5, and pages 7-9), all zipped together
Tip: to keep several pages together in one file, put them in a single range (for example 2-6). Each comma-separated entry is saved as its own file.

Common Use Cases
- Pulling a single chapter or section out of a long document

Frequently Asked Questions
Upload it, then type the pages you want as a comma-separated list. Each entry becomes its own file:
1-3, 5, 7-9 gives you three PDFs. The next screen tells you how many pages the document has, so you do not need to work it out beforehand. Everything comes back in one ZIP.Type only the pages you want and ignore the rest. To pull out pages 4 to 7 as a single document, enter
4-7. To grab three scattered pages as separate files, enter 2, 9, 14. Pages you do not mention are simply left out — your original file is untouched either way.Yes, by listing each page number separated by commas —
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 gives five one-page PDFs. There is no single button that does it automatically, so for a long document this means typing a fair few numbers. For anything over about twenty pages it is usually quicker to pull out the sections you actually need than to separate every page.The pages themselves come through complete — text stays selectable, images keep their quality, and web links still work. What does not carry over is the bookmark panel. Pages are copied without the document's navigation structure, so a split file will not have the table of contents down the side that the original had, and links that jumped to another page inside the document may no longer find their target.
A ZIP file containing one PDF for each entry you typed. For example, entering
1-3, 5 gives you a ZIP with two PDFs: one with pages 1-3 and one with page 5.Use a single range. Typing
2-6 produces one PDF with pages 2 through 6. If you separate pages with commas (like 2, 6), each one becomes its own file.No. Splitting copies the pages directly without re-rendering, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
If you want to join files rather than split one, use our Merge PDF tool. To rearrange pages within a single PDF, try Reorder Pages.
