Overview

The split tool breaks one PDF file into several independent files, either by page ranges you define or by splitting it automatically every fixed number of pages. You end up with a single zip archive containing all the resulting files.

How to use it

  1. Add your file

    Choose one PDF file to split.

  2. Choose a split mode

    Pick between splitting by page ranges you type in, or an automatic split every fixed number of pages.

  3. Enter the settings

    Type the page ranges you need, or the number of pages per file, depending on the mode you chose.

  4. Run the split

    Click the split button to generate the resulting files right in your browser.

  5. Download the archive

    Download a single zip archive containing every file produced by the split.

Why use this tool?

Instead of scrolling through a long file looking for one part, you get smaller, independent files you can share or archive separately, with no desktop software and no upload to an outside server.

100% local processing

Splitting runs entirely through a Web Worker inside your browser, and the file's data never leaves your device.
