Drop the PDF and choose how to split it. By ranges: type, say, “1-3, 4-8, 9-end” and you get one PDF per range (or a single one, merging the ranges). Every page: each page becomes a PDF. Every N pages: equal blocks — handy when a file is too big for an upload form. Pick pages: tap the thumbnails.
Before you confirm, the thumbnails show which pages go into which file. With several output files, each one gets its own button and you can download them all as a .zip.
Splitting is how you pull just the page you need out of a long document: the signed page of a contract, a bill inside a statement, one chapter of a handout. Want to drop a few pages and keep the rest? Use Remove pages.
It all runs in your browser, with no upload: the PDF never leaves your device. Text stays selectable in every part, because pages are copied as they are.
Example: the bill with the payment slip inside
The building’s bill has 14 pages and the payment slip is on page 9. In By ranges, type “9” and download a PDF with just that page. Need to send a 120-page handbook through a form that takes 10 MB? Use Every N pages with 40 and you get three equal parts, each with its own button, or all of them in a .zip.
Questions about splitting PDFs
How do I take out just one page?
Type its number in By ranges, or use Pick pages and tap the thumbnail. You get a PDF with only that page.
Can I put several ranges in one file?
Yes: type the ranges separated by commas, like “1-2, 7, 10-12”, and choose a single file instead of one per range.
Do the parts lose quality?
No. The pages are copied as they are: text stays selectable and images aren’t recompressed.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Yes: the tool asks for the password, which is only used in your browser.
