How to Split a PDF by Page: Extract Pages in Seconds

Split a PDF by page range or into equal chunks online for free. Extract one chapter, pull a single invoice, or cut a huge scan into fileable parts — without uploads.

Three everyday reasons to split a PDF

The first is privacy: sending a 60-page report to a reviewer usually means the whole document leaves your hands, even though only one chapter matters. The second is filing: scanners love producing one giant PDF for a 100-page stack of paper, and file systems hate it. The third is size: a single heavy PDF may exceed an email or upload limit, while its parts do not.

Page range vs. equal chunks

Two modes cover almost every splitting need. Page range mode extracts exact pages — "1-3", "5", "7-9" — which is perfect for pulling one chapter or one invoice out of a document. Equal chunk mode cuts the file into pieces of N pages each, which is what you want when a long scan needs to be filed or emailed in parts.

How to split a PDF in three steps

  1. Open the Split PDF tool and upload your file.
  2. Choose Page Range (e.g. 10-15) or Fixed Chunks (e.g. every 10 pages) — the tool previews exactly how many files you will get.
  3. Click split and download each part. Pages are copied losslessly, so quality and text stay intact.

Splitting as part of a bigger workflow

Splitting pairs naturally with the rest of the PDF suite: split a large document, compress the heavy part, and merge the results back when you need a complete file again. Every step runs in the browser, so a confidential report can be split, edited and recombined without ever touching a server.

Page range syntax is forgiving: 1,3,5-7 works, and so does 1-3,5,7-9. The tool also warns you if a range falls outside the document.
