How to use the Split PDF

  1. 1Drop your PDF onto the box, or click it to browse for it. If it has a password, type it in.
  2. 2To cut it into parts, press "Cut after" under any page, or enter a number under "Cut every few pages" to cut it into equal parts.
  3. 3To keep only some pages, switch to "Pick pages" and type them, like "1-3, 7, 10-12". Then choose one file, or a file per range.
  4. 4Press download. A single file comes as a PDF; several come together in one ZIP.

Cut into parts, or pick pages

Cut into parts divides the whole file. Every page shows as a preview, and “Cut after” under a page starts a new part after it: a dashed line marks the cut and the next page is labelled with its part number. To cut the file into equal parts, enter how many pages each part should have under “Cut every few pages”: 2 turns a 9-page file into four 2-page parts and a last single page. Undo takes back the last change, and Clear cuts starts again.

Pick pages keeps only the pages you type. The pages you pick are highlighted and the rest fade, so you can check the numbers against the previews before you download. Choose One file to combine everything you typed into a single PDF, or A file per range to get a separate file for each comma-separated group.

How page ranges work

Type pages and ranges separated by commas: a single number like 7 for one page, or 10-12 for a run of pages. Mix as many as you need in one line, like 1-3, 7, 10-12, and they’re read left to right, in the order you wrote them: the tool doesn’t silently re-sort your list, so 5, 1-3 genuinely puts page 5 before pages 1 through 3 in the result.

Several parts come as one ZIP

Browsers often block a page from starting several downloads at once, so when a split makes more than one file, they’re packed into a single ZIP instead, built in this tab like everything else. Each file inside is named after the pages it holds, like report-p1-3.pdf, so they sort in page order.

What this tool doesn’t do

Splitting doesn’t compress the file, edit what’s on a page, or read text out of a scanned image. It doesn’t cut at bookmarks or by file size: you place the cuts yourself. To reorder or delete single pages, use Organize PDF; to combine several whole documents into one, use Merge PDF.

Questions

How do I split a PDF into several files?
Press "Cut after" under each page where a new part should start, or type a number under "Cut every few pages". Every part becomes its own PDF, named after its pages (like "report-p4-6.pdf"), and they download together in one ZIP.
Can I split every page into its own file?
Yes. Type 1 under "Cut every few pages" and press Cut: every page becomes a separate PDF, and they all download in one ZIP.
What's the difference between "Cut into parts" and "Pick pages"?
Cut into parts keeps every page, in its original order, and divides the file where you cut it. Pick pages keeps only the pages you type, in the order you type them, either combined into one file or as a separate file for each range.
Can I pick pages out of order, or repeat a page?
Yes, under Pick pages: the pages come out in the order you list them, not sorted, so "5, 1-3" puts page 5 first. Listing the same page twice, like "2, 2", includes it twice, which is occasionally useful for reassembling a document.
What if I enter a page number that doesn't exist in the file?
The tool tells you how many pages the file actually has, and won't download until the numbers fit, rather than silently making a shorter file than you expected.
Can I split a password-protected PDF?
Yes. The tool asks for the password, and the file opens in this tab. Every part keeps the same password and the same print and edit limits. A file that only restricts editing opens without asking.
Does this lose any quality?
No. Splitting works the same way merging does: each page's original content is copied directly into the new file, not re-rendered or recompressed, so text stays selectable and images stay at full resolution.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The splitting happens inside this browser tab using your device's own memory. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored. Closing or refreshing the tab clears everything.
