Split PDF Online Free

Splitting PDFs is more nuanced than most people realize. You might need to extract specific pages, split every N pages into separate files, or break a document at certain page markers. Different scenarios require different approaches, and using the wrong method wastes time. Our split tool gives you multiple splitting modes to handle various use cases - split by page ranges (extract pages 5-12), split into equal chunks (every 10 pages becomes a new file), or split all pages into individual PDFs. The tool handles large files efficiently, so splitting a 300-page document doesn't freeze your browser. It also preserves the PDF structure and features in split files, which matters if your original has bookmarks, hyperlinks, or form fields. One thing we see often is people trying to extract one chapter from a large PDF, ending up with broken formatting because they used a tool that doesn't preserve fonts and images properly. Our splitter maintains fidelity to the original document.

Select a PDF file to split. Max 25MB.
Enter page numbers or ranges (e.g., 1-3,5,7-9). Leave blank for "all" mode.
