Split PDF Files by Page or Range
Split PDF documents into separate files by page ranges, fixed intervals, or selected pages directly in your browser. Your files stay on your device.
Up to 50 MB per file (10 files per batch) on the Free plan. You can also paste a file from your clipboard.
About Split PDF & Edge Cases
Extract specific page ranges, split a large PDF every N pages, cherry-pick individual thumbnails, or burst every page into separate PDF files packaged in a ZIP archive. Split PDF parses the document catalog locally, clones only the requested page nodes and their referenced XObjects, and bundles multi-file outputs with fflate.
- Custom range syntax supports comma-separated segments and hyphens such as '1-3, 5, 9-12'.
- When bursting a multi-page document into separate files, only the resources referenced by each output file are retained.
