Split PDF
Pull out specific pages or page ranges from a PDF into a new file.
About this tool
This tool takes one PDF and separates it into individual pages or smaller documents, so you can pull out exactly the parts you need instead of sending or storing the whole thing.
Splitting is the natural counterpart to merging, and it comes up just as often. A long scanned document might contain several unrelated forms that should be filed separately; you may need to share a single page of a contract without exposing the rest; or a large report might need to be broken into sections for different recipients. Rather than printing and re-scanning, splitting lets you extract pages cleanly and keep the original quality.
Because each extracted page is copied straight from the source, the text stays selectable and the images stay sharp — you're separating the existing pages, not re-rendering them, so nothing is degraded in the process.
The split runs on the server and the results are streamed back to you for download. Your uploaded file is processed in memory and not retained afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
- Does splitting reduce the quality of the pages?
- No. Pages are copied from the original rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.
- Can I extract a single page?
- Yes. You can pull out one page on its own, which is handy when you need to share just a part of a larger document.
- What happens to the original file?
- It's left untouched. Splitting produces new output and your uploaded copy is processed in memory only, then discarded.
- Is there a page limit?
- The practical limit is the size of the file you upload rather than a fixed page count.
- Are my files stored on the server?
- No. The upload is held only long enough to produce the split output and is not saved afterwards.
