Split PDF
Pull out a page range, or break a document into parts.

What splitting a PDF is
Producing new documents from part of an existing one. The pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so the operation is lossless: a scanned page comes out at exactly the quality it went in.
What this tool does that others do not
Four ways to cut, chosen by the job
One section from a first page to a last; equal parts of a fixed number of pages; every page, or only the pages you click, as its own file; or parts kept under a maximum file size for an upload form that sets one.
A 40-page document at 10 pages per file becomes four PDFs: pages 1–10, 11–20, 21–30 and 31–40.
The plan is stated before anything is written
The line under the options says what will be produced — one PDF containing pages 3 to 7, or how many files at how many pages each — so a wrong number is caught before the download rather than after.
Pages are copied, not re-rendered
An extracted page is the same page, which is why quality is unchanged and why a part can still be large if the original held high-resolution scans.
How to use it
Add the document
It is read into the tab. Nothing is uploaded, so a long scan is limited by your own memory rather than an upload cap.
Choose how to cut it
Range for one section, Fixed for equal parts, Pages for single-page files, Size when a form limits the upload.
Read the line under the options, then split
It states exactly what will be produced. Several files can be downloaded together as one .zip.
Worked example
Real input, real figures.
Breaking a long scan into equal parts
You give it
A 40-page scan, split by Range → Fixed at 10 pages per file.
You get
Four PDFs of 10 pages each, covering pages 1–10, 11–20, 21–30 and 31–40, every page copied rather than re-encoded, downloadable together as one .zip.
Against an online splitter
| Aspect | This tool | A typical splitter |
|---|---|---|
| Ways to split | A range, equal parts, single pages or a size limit | Usually a range or every page |
| Quality | Pages copied, nothing re-rendered | Usually the same, rarely stated |
| Files per day | No limit | Commonly one without an account |
| Your document | Never leaves the tab | Uploaded and held on a server |
Guide
What it will not do
- A range is one continuous run of pages. To gather pages that are not next to each other, or to change their order, use Organise PDF, which reorders and removes pages while you look at them.
Four ways to cut a document
Split by Range for one section, from a first page to a last, or switch Range to Fixed for equal parts: a 40-page document at 10 pages per file becomes four PDFs. Split by Pages to make every page its own file, or only the pages you click in the preview. Split by Size when an upload form sets a limit, and each part is kept under it.
The line under the options says exactly what will be produced before anything is written. A range is one continuous run of pages; to gather pages that are not next to each other, or to change their order, use Organise PDF.
Questions people ask
Straight answers. Each one links directly: copy the address after opening it.
How do I split one PDF into many separate files?
Choose Range, then Fixed, and set the pages per file: a 40-page document at 10 per file becomes four PDFs. Or choose Pages and Extract all pages for one file per page. Several files can be downloaded together as one .zip.
Can I pull out pages that are not next to each other?
Not in one range. Choose Pages, then Select pages, and click the ones you want: each becomes its own file. To combine non-adjacent pages into one document, or to reorder them, use Organise PDF.
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The pages are copied as they are, not re-rendered, which is why a part can still be large if the original held high-resolution scans.
Nothing leaves your device
Your file is read into this tab and worked on there. It is never uploaded, which is why there is no queue, no daily limit and no account, and why the tool still works with the network switched off.
