Split PDF

Help: Split PDF

  • By ranges: “1-3, 5, 8-” creates three files (pages 1 to 3, page 5, pages 8 to the end). Each range is one file.
  • Every page: one single-page PDF per page. Every N pages: regular blocks, the last one possibly shorter.
  • Maximum size: pages are grouped in order without exceeding the chosen size (handy for an email attachment limit). A page already heavier than the limit stays alone in its file.
  • Files are offered one by one or as a single ZIP. Names reuse the original's followed by the pages (report_01-03.pdf).
  • Bookmarks and internal cross-references are not carried over; pages are not recompressed. Protected PDF: unlock it first (100 MB maximum).

Frequently asked questions

Can I cut a PDF after specific pages only?

Yes: pick the ranges method and type, for example, 1-3, 4-7; each range becomes its own file. You can also cut after every page, every N pages or by a maximum size in MB.

How do I get files under 10 MB?

Choose “Maximum size” and enter 10: the split adapts to the real weight of the pages, including image-heavy ones.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Splitting happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded, stored or analyzed.
