Split one PDF into smaller files when you need cleaner sharing, smaller attachments, or separate sections from a longer document.
What this tool is best for
- Sending one page per invoice or form
- Breaking a large handbook into sections
- Creating smaller PDF files for email or uploads
Step-by-step workflow
- Upload your PDF.
- Choose whether to split every N pages or by custom ranges.
- Download the ZIP file that contains your split PDFs.
Best ways to use it
- Set the split value to
1 if you want one PDF per page.
- Use custom ranges like
1-3,4-6,7 for chapters or grouped sections.
- Keep the ZIP file intact until you confirm all split files look correct.
Quality notes
- Split PDF copies the original pages into new files.
- It does not convert pages to images.
- Text and layout stay in their original PDF form.
