About Split PDF

Split PDF breaks one PDF into smaller files — a file per page, a chosen page range, or a hand-picked selection — and delivers the results as a ZIP. It is for separating chapters, extracting a section, or pulling single pages out of a larger document.

Sharing an entire document when someone needs one section is wasteful and sometimes sensitive. Splitting locally lets you isolate exactly the pages you want without uploading the file.

How to use

Step by step

  1. Open the PDF you want to split.
  2. Choose a split mode: one file per page, a page range, or a custom selection.
  3. Specify the pages or range you need.
  4. Run the split to generate the separate files.
  5. Download them together as a ZIP.
