Ways to Split a PDF Into Multiple Files

Choose the splitting method that fits your use case

📏
Split by Page Ranges
Define custom ranges for each output file. A 30-page PDF with ranges 1-10, 11-20, 21-30 produces three 10-page files. Perfect for splitting documents into chapters, sections, or volumes.
📄
Extract Every Page Individually
Split a PDF so each page becomes its own separate file. A 5-page PDF becomes 5 individual PDFs. Useful for image PDFs, certificates, or presentations where every page is standalone.
⚖️
Split Into Equal Parts
Divide a PDF into equal-sized chunks. A 20-page PDF into 4 parts of 5 pages each. Useful for distributing workloads or meeting upload limits.
✂️
Split at a Specific Page
Split a PDF into exactly two files — everything before and everything after a specific page. Upload once, extract the first part, then extract the second part.

📖 Page Range Examples for Splitting

Use these formats when entering page ranges to split your PDF

1-10
First 10 pages → Output file 1
Split a 30-page PDF into three 10-page files by running the tool 3 times with ranges 1-10, 11-20, 21-30
1-5
Pages 1 to 5 → Chapter 1
Split a book PDF into chapters by running once per chapter range
1
First page only
Extract just the cover page or first page as its own PDF
6-10
Pages 6 to 10 → Section 2
Extract any middle section of the document

Frequently Asked Questions — Split PDF Into Multiple Files

How do I split a PDF into multiple separate files?

Upload your PDF to the tool above, enter the page range for the first output file (e.g., 1-10), and download that split section. Repeat the process for each additional section, entering a different range each time. For multi-range splitting in one operation, use the main Split PDF tool.

Can I split a PDF into equal-sized parts?

Yes. For a 20-page PDF divided into 4 equal parts, run the split tool four times with ranges 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, and 16-20. Each produces a 5-page PDF. There is no limit on how many times you can process the same source file.

What is the maximum number of files I can split a PDF into?

There is no maximum. A 500-page PDF could technically be split into 500 individual one-page files. The only practical limit is the upload file size: 10MB per file for free users, 200MB for Pro users. There are no limits on how many times you process the same document.

Will split PDFs have the same quality as the original?

Yes. Splitting is a structural operation that moves pages into new files without re-encoding any content. Images, text, fonts, and vector graphics in the split files are identical to the original. There is zero quality degradation.

How is splitting a PDF different from extracting pages?

Splitting typically means dividing a document into sequential sections (pages 1-10, 11-20, etc.) where all pages from the source are distributed across the output files. Extracting pages means pulling specific non-sequential pages into one output file. Use this tool for splitting; use Extract Pages from PDF for picking specific pages.

Can I split a large PDF file that is over 10MB?

Free users are limited to 10MB per upload. For larger files, you have two options: (1) Compress the PDF first using our Compress PDF tool to bring it under 10MB, then split. (2) Upgrade to Pro for $9/month to upload files up to 200MB with no daily task limits.
