How to Split a PDF into Separate Files

A long PDF does not have to stay as one attachment. You can split it into one PDF per page, or extract selected ranges into a focused document, without uploading the source file.

Steps

  1. Open Split PDF

    Choose Split PDF and add the source document.

  2. Select a split mode

    Choose one PDF per page or extract selected ranges into one PDF.

  3. Enter ranges if needed

    Use comma-separated pages and hyphenated ranges, such as 1-3, 6, 9-10.

  4. Download the files

    Run the split and download either the ZIP or the extracted PDF.

Choose between pages and ranges

Use Split into pages when each page should become its own file. The tool packages those files into a ZIP so one download contains the full set.

Use Extract ranges when you need a few pages together. Enter selections such as 1-3, 6, 9-10 to create one new PDF.

Check the output before sharing

Open at least one generated file and confirm its page order and filename. Keep the original until you know the split matches your purpose.

For one focused document, Extract Pages offers the same range syntax with a simpler single-PDF result.
