Splitting is what you reach for when a PDF has more in it than you want to share — one signed page out of a twelve-page contract, a single chapter from a scanned book, or a file that's simply too big for an email attachment. Pick a page range or break every page into its own file, and download the result in seconds.
How to split pdf
- 1. Upload the PDF you want to divide.
- 2. Choose a page range (for example 4–9) to pull out one section, or split every page into a separate file.
- 3. Click Split PDF and download the new file or files.
When to use Split PDF
Send only the page that matters
Extract the signature page from a long agreement so the other party gets exactly what they need to counter-sign — nothing more.
Get under an attachment limit
Break a large report into two or three smaller PDFs so each one clears a strict email size cap.
Separate a batch scan
If you scanned several documents in one pass, split them apart so each invoice or letter becomes its own file.
Split by range vs. every page
A range keeps a slice of the document together in one output file — ideal when you want pages 10–20 as a single PDF. Splitting every page produces one file per page, which is what you want when a scanner has stacked unrelated documents into one PDF. If you only need to drop a few pages rather than isolate them, Remove Pages is the faster route.
Frequently asked questions
How do I specify which pages to keep?
Enter a range like 4-9, or a starting and ending page. To pull out several non-adjacent sections, run the tool once per range.
Does the original PDF stay intact?
Yes. Splitting creates new files and never edits your source document — the original on your device is untouched.
Will page numbers or bookmarks be renumbered?
Extracted pages keep their printed content exactly, but internal bookmarks and cross-references that point outside the range you kept won't resolve, since those pages are no longer in the file.
Can I split a scanned PDF?
Absolutely. Splitting works on the page level regardless of whether the pages hold text or scanned images.
