Split PDF

The Split PDF tool lets you break a large PDF document into smaller, more manageable files without installing any software. Whether you need to extract a single chapter from a report, separate invoices from a batch file, or divide a scanned book into individual pages, our split PDF tool handles it in seconds.

When you split a PDF, the tool reads the page structure of your document and creates new PDF files at the split points you specify. For example, entering 3, 7 produces three output files: pages 1–3, pages 4–7, and pages 8 to the end. If you leave the field blank, every page becomes its own standalone PDF — useful when you have scanned receipts or forms that need to be filed individually.

All split files are packaged into a single ZIP archive for convenient downloading. The original document quality is fully preserved; no recompression or re-rendering takes place, so text remains sharp and images stay at their original resolution.

Common use cases for splitting PDFs:

• Extracting specific chapters or sections from a lengthy report
• Separating multi-page scanned invoices into individual documents
• Dividing a combined contract into separate signature pages
• Breaking a presentation into individual slide PDFs for sharing

If you only need a few specific pages rather than a clean split, try our Extract PDF Pages tool instead. After splitting, if you decide you want to recombine certain parts, Merge PDF makes it easy to join files back together.

Privacy and security: Your uploaded file is transferred over HTTPS and processed entirely on our secure servers. We never read the content of your documents. All files — both the original upload and the generated outputs — are permanently deleted from our servers within one hour of processing. No account or login is required.

The Split PDF tool works in all modern browsers on desktop, tablet, and mobile. There is no app to install and no browser extension needed.
