How to Split a PDF into Multiple Files

Splitting a PDF is useful when you only need certain pages from a larger document, such as extracting one chapter from a book, pulling a single invoice out of a batch, or breaking a scanned document into individual pages. This tool lets you split by every page or by custom ranges you define.

  1. 1Open the Split PDF tool.
  2. 2Choose your PDF file. The page count appears automatically.
  3. 3Choose "Every Page" to split into individual pages, or "Custom Ranges" to define specific page groups.
  4. 4Click "Split PDF". A single result downloads directly, and multiple results download as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract just one page from a PDF?

Yes, use Custom Ranges and enter a single page number, like "4", to extract just that page as its own PDF.

What format are the split files in?

Each split section is a standalone, fully valid PDF file, not an image or any other format.

Does splitting reduce PDF quality?

No, splitting doesn't re-render or recompress anything, so the resulting pages are identical in quality to the original.
