About this tool
Splitting helps when you need to send only one chapter of a long document, upload files to a portal with a size limit, or separate a scanned stack into individual documents.
Each new PDF contains exact copies of the original pages, so text stays selectable and images keep their quality.
Questions
How do I write page ranges?
Separate ranges with commas. For example, 1-3, 5, 8- creates three files: pages 1 to 3, page 5, and page 8 to the end.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
When a split produces more than one PDF, they're packed into a single ZIP so you can download them in one go. Phones and computers open ZIP files directly.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is split by your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers.
