PDF Split
Split a PDF into single pages or into parts of a fixed number of pages with our PDF Split tool, and download every part in one ZIP archive. Each part is a complete PDF named after the original and its page numbers, and it keeps the bookmarks, links and form fields of its own pages. Useful for sending one chapter, separating scanned documents or sharing only the pages someone needs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I split a PDF?
Upload a PDF, set how many pages each part should have and click Split PDF. With the default of 1, every page becomes its own file, and all parts arrive together in one ZIP archive.
How do I split a PDF every few pages?
Enter the number of pages per part, such as 2 or 10. A 25-page document split every 10 pages gives parts with pages 1 to 10, 11 to 20 and 21 to 25, so only the last part can be shorter.
How are the parts named?
Each part is named after the original file and its pages, such as report-page-03.pdf or report-pages-11-20.pdf. Page numbers are padded with zeros so the files sort in page order, and the archive is called report-split.zip.
How large can the PDF be?
The PDF can be up to 10 MB with at most 200 pages. All parts together can be up to 32 MB; a document whose images repeat on every page can pass that when split into single pages, and then the tool says so.
Do the parts keep bookmarks and links?
Each part keeps the bookmarks and internal links that point to pages within that part, and web links stay as they are. Bookmarks and links that point into another part are left out, because their target is not in the file.
What happens to form fields?
Form fields stay fillable with their values in the part that contains their page. A field that appears on several pages keeps only the widgets of the pages in that part.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes, enter the password to open it. Files that only restrict printing or copying open without one. The parts are saved without a password.
Can I choose different page ranges for each part?
This tool cuts the document into equal steps. To choose your own ranges, such as 1-3, 4-9 and 10-12, use PDF Split Ranges, which makes one file per range.
What is lost in the parts?
Accessibility tags, page labels and document-level JavaScript are not carried into the parts, and digital signatures no longer validate. The title, author and attachments of the original are copied into every part.
Are my files stored?
No. The PDF is split in memory for this request and the archive is returned directly. Nothing is written to storage on the server.
