What is a PDF Splitter?
A PDF splitter divides one PDF into several smaller files by page range — useful when you need to pull a chapter out of a long report, separate a scanned batch of documents back into individual files, or simply break a large PDF into pieces that are easier to share. Our tool lets you split a PDF online by typing exactly which pages belong in each output file; every file is generated on our own servers and bundled into a single ZIP so you only need to download once.
How to Split a PDF Online — Step by Step
- Upload your PDF. Drag and drop the PDF you want to split into the box above, or click to browse for it.
- Enter your page ranges. Type the ranges you want as separate files, e.g. "1-3, 4-6, 7" — that example creates three separate PDFs.
- Split and download. Click "Split PDF." All resulting files are packaged into one ZIP, ready to download.

- One download — every split file is bundled into a single ZIP archive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I write a page range?▾
Separate groups with commas, and use a dash for a range within a group, e.g. "1-3, 5, 8-10" creates three files: pages 1-3, page 5 alone, and pages 8-10.
Can I split a PDF into one file per page?▾
Yes — enter each page number separated by commas, e.g. "1, 2, 3, 4" to get four single-page PDFs.
What format do I get the split files in?▾
A single ZIP file containing one PDF per page range you defined.
Is there a page limit?▾
No fixed page limit — the practical limit is the 200 MB per-file upload size.
Do you keep my files after splitting?▾
No — both your uploaded PDF and the generated ZIP are automatically deleted within 2 hours.
