How to split a PDF
To split a PDF, open the Split PDF tool, add your file, and choose what to pull out — specific pages or ranges into one new PDF, one file per page as a ZIP, or fixed-size chunks. Everything runs in your browser, so the original is never uploaded.
Three ways to split
Extract to one PDF: type the pages or ranges you want (e.g. 1-3, 8) and get a single combined file.
Separate files: get one PDF per selected page, downloaded together as a ZIP.
Every N pages: break a long document into fixed-size chunks — handy for splitting a scanned batch into per-document files.
Splitting vs removing pages
Split keeps the pages you choose; to instead drop a few unwanted pages and keep the rest, use Remove Pages. To reorder while you're at it, use Organize.
