Split a PDF into the pages you need
Cut one document into separate files by page or by range. Every output page is a copy of the original — nothing is flattened, nothing is uploaded.
Why split a document at all
Most PDFs arrive as one big file because that is how they were exported, not because the content belongs together. A 200-page board pack contains one section your lawyer needs; a scanned bank statement contains one page your accountant asked for; a textbook chapter is twelve pages out of four hundred. Splitting lets you send exactly that, and nothing else — which is both a courtesy and, when the rest of the document is confidential, a reasonable precaution.
Because the split happens in your browser, sending “just page 47” does not mean first handing all 200 pages to a third-party server. The file is opened from disk, the requested pages are copied into new documents, and the originals never move.
How to split a PDF here
- Add the fileDrop one PDF into the panel. The preview shows every page as a numbered tile so you can see the boundaries you are working with.
- Pick a modeEvery page produces one file per page. Page ranges takes a list such as
1-3, 4-6, 7and writes one file per comma-separated group. - ExportEach group downloads as
name-part-1.pdf,-part-2.pdfand so on. Browsers may ask permission before saving several files at once.
Ranges, edge cases and the original file
Ranges are inclusive and forgiving: 5-3 is read as 3-5, duplicates are ignored, and numbers beyond the last page are dropped rather than throwing an error. The source file on your disk is never modified — every operation writes a new file, so a bad range costs you nothing but a second attempt.
| Item | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Modes | One file per page, or one file per comma-separated range |
| Range syntax | 1-3, 7, 10-12 — inclusive, order-normalised |
| Output naming | original-name-part-1.pdf, -part-2.pdf, … |
| Fidelity | Pages copied as objects; text selectable, vectors intact |
| Original file | Never modified |
FAQ
Does splitting reduce quality?
No. The pages are copied, not re-rendered, so there is no resolution to lose. A vector logo is still vector in the split file.
Can I split a PDF into two halves?
Yes — use ranges 1-50, 51-100. Each side becomes its own file, and both are exact copies of their pages.
What about bookmarks and the document title?
Those live at document level rather than on a page, so they are not carried into the split files. If you need the outline preserved, split in a desktop editor instead.
