Split PDFs
Split one PDF into multiple files quickly and cleanly in your browser.
Upload one PDF, and the tool will detect how many pages it has.
Choose how many output PDFs you want, then set the page ranges — for example: 1–2, 3, 4–5.
Downloaded files are clearly named by page range, such as split_1-2.pdf, to keep everything organised.

Who it is for

Tips for using Split PDFs
Write down your intended ranges before generating the files, such as 1–2, 3 and 4–5. Check for accidental gaps or overlaps, then open each downloaded PDF and confirm its first and last pages.
Important limitations
Check the page positions in the PDF rather than relying only on printed page numbers, which can differ because of covers or introductory pages. Splitting creates separate documents; it does not edit the contents of a page.
Data and privacy
Review the tool instructions before entering or uploading information. Do not include passwords, payment details, private keys, or other highly sensitive data unless you understand how it is handled. Check the result before downloading or sharing it.
