How to split a PDF

  1. Add your file. Select the PDF you want to split, or drag it onto the area above.
  2. Choose how to split. Split by custom page ranges, into equal chunks of N pages, into one file per page, or extract only the pages you need.
  3. Split and download. Select Split PDF and download your files - several PDFs arrive together in a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the split modes?
Custom ranges create one file per range you type; “every N pages” cuts the document into equal parts; “each page separately” makes one file per page; “extract pages” keeps only the pages you list.
How do I write page ranges?
Use commas and dashes, for example 1-3, 5, 8-10.
Why do I get a ZIP file?
When a split produces several PDFs, they are bundled into a single ZIP so you can download them in one click.
Is this tool free?
Yes - it is completely free, with no account, no limits, and no watermarks added to your files. Every PDF tool on File-Extension works the same way.
