Split a PDF

One PDF becomes exactly the files you need

A scanned batch of receipts, a book chapter you only need part of, a long report that has to be submitted in separate sections: splitting a PDF by hand usually means a desktop program or an online tool that uploads your file to see how many pages it has. This one shows every page as a thumbnail directly in your browser, so you can see exactly what you are splitting before you split it.

How it works

Every page of your PDF is drawn as a small preview. Tick "start new file here" on the pages where a new document should begin; everything from that page to the next split point (or the end) becomes one file. If you don't mark any split point, the whole document downloads as a single PDF, unchanged.

Splitting into individual pages

To get one PDF per page, tick the option on every page except the first. There is no fixed limit on how many split points you can mark, so a fifty-page document can become fifty single-page files in one pass if that's what you need.

Getting the files back

A single resulting file downloads directly as a PDF. Multiple files are packed together into one ZIP, numbered in order, so you get everything in one download instead of clicking through several separate ones.

What it does not do

This splits by page; it does not split based on content such as a blank page or a specific heading. For selecting a handful of pages to keep and discarding the rest instead of splitting into multiple files, use extract PDF pages. Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded.
