About the Split PDF

Split PDF extracts a chosen set of pages into one new document or separates every source page into its own PDF. Page ranges such as 1-3, 5 can be typed directly, and the same selection can be built by clicking page thumbnails.

The custom extraction path copies only the selected source pages and keeps their order. The split-all path creates one numbered PDF per page and packages the complete set in a ZIP file.

Preview rendering and PDF rebuilding happen locally. Large documents require memory for thumbnails and, when splitting every page, for all generated files and the ZIP archive.

Frequently asked questions

What page-range syntax is accepted?
Use page numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 5, 8.
Can selected pages be reordered?
This tool follows source-page order. Use Organize PDF after extraction if a different sequence is required.
Does split-all create many downloads?
No. It creates one ZIP containing individually named single-page PDFs.
Are pages converted to images?
No. Selected pages are copied into new PDF documents rather than rendered as screenshots.
Why can a very large split take time?
The browser must create each output document and hold the ZIP data in device memory before downloading it.
