Splitting a PDF breaks one document into smaller pieces: separating a single chapter, pulling out the pages a colleague needs, or turning a 200-page scan into manageable sections.
How to split a PDF by page range
- Open the Split PDF tool and upload your document.
- Enter the page ranges you want, for example
1-5, 6-10, 11-20. Each range becomes its own PDF. - Click the button and download the results, delivered together as a ZIP archive.
Other ways to break up a PDF
- Keep only a few pages: use Extract PDF Pages to pull, say, pages 3, 7, and 12 into one new file.
- Drop a few pages: use Delete PDF Pages to remove the ones you do not want and keep the rest.
- Reorder before splitting: Reorder PDF Pages lets you rearrange pages so your ranges line up.
Tips
- Page numbers refer to the position in the file, which may differ from any printed page numbers inside the document.
- Ranges can overlap if you need the same page in more than one output file.
- To split every page into its own file, list each page as a single-page range.
Frequently asked questions

How are the results delivered?
As a single ZIP archive containing one PDF per range, so a multi-way split is one download.
