This tool takes a single PDF and breaks it into multiple separate files — by individual page, by a custom page range, or at specific split points you choose. It's the reverse of merging: instead of combining documents, it separates one document into the pieces you actually need. Each resulting file is a fully standalone PDF, retaining the original quality, formatting and content of its pages.
Splitting happens entirely in your browser — your document is never uploaded to a server, which matters for sensitive multi-page documents like contracts or medical records.
If you only need pages 5 through 12 of a 50-page report, specifying that range produces one new PDF containing exactly those pages — useful when you know precisely which section you need.
If you need each page as a separate document — for example, to process scanned pages individually, or to distribute one page per recipient — splitting into individual pages produces one PDF per page, which can then be downloaded together as a ZIP.
A common scenario is receiving (or producing) a single PDF that's actually several distinct documents scanned together — for example, several different forms or letters all scanned in one pass through a document feeder, resulting in one large PDF rather than separate files for each document. Splitting this back into individual files requires knowing where each original document begins and ends — reviewing the document's thumbnails or pages first to identify these boundaries, then defining split ranges that match each original document, recreates the separate files. This is a common task when receiving scanned records that were batch-processed without separation, where the recipient needs to file or process each original document independently.
For large multi-section reports — especially those with content relevant to different teams or departments — splitting allows you to distribute only the relevant section to each recipient rather than sending everyone the entire document. This is particularly useful for documents containing some sensitive or department-specific content alongside general information — splitting out just the general sections for wide distribution, while keeping department-specific sections (financial details, personnel information, etc.) in separate files sent only to relevant recipients, is more practical than either sending everyone everything or manually copying content into new documents.
Once you have your split files, you might want to recombine some of them differently using PDF Merger — for example, taking pages from two different split documents and joining them into a new combined file. If any extracted pages are sideways, Rotate PDF can fix orientation. And if the split files are still larger than needed for sharing, PDF Compressor can reduce their size further.
No. Each split file contains the original pages exactly as they were — same resolution, same text, same formatting. Splitting doesn't re-encode or compress anything.
Yes. You can split a document into as many separate files as you need — whether that's splitting every page individually or defining several custom ranges.
When splitting produces multiple files, they can be downloaded together as a single ZIP archive, which you can then extract to access each file individually.
You'll need to remove the password first using our Unlock PDF tool, then split the unlocked file. Password protection can be re-applied to the split files afterwards if needed.
No. The entire process runs in your browser using JavaScript, so your PDF never leaves your device.
