Who uses Split PDF

Separate Document Sections

Divide a combined document into its individual components — chapters, sections, or monthly reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enter page ranges?

Enter page numbers separated by commas. Use a hyphen for ranges. For example: 1-3,5,7-9 creates three files — pages 1 to 3, page 5 only, and pages 7 to 9.

How do I split every page into a separate file?

Leave the page ranges field empty and click Split. The tool automatically creates one PDF file per page from the original document.

Does splitting reduce page quality?

No. Splitting extracts pages exactly as they appear in the original PDF without any quality reduction.

Can I split a PDF on iPhone?

Yes. Our Split PDF tool works in Safari on iPhone without any app download. Upload your PDF, enter your page ranges, and download the split files.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

You need to enter the password to open the PDF first. Once open and accessible in your browser, the splitting process works the same as for unprotected files.
