Split PDF
Break one PDF into the pieces you actually need.
Cut a long PDF by page range, by bookmarks, or by fixed chunks (every 10 pages, every chapter, and so on). Save the pieces as separate PDFs or bundle them all into a ZIP.
How it works
Four calm steps.
- 01
Drop your file
Drag the PDF you want to split onto the upload card, or click to pick it from your device. You can also paste a link to a file hosted online.
- 02
Choose how to split
Custom ranges (1-10, 11-25, 26-end), every N pages, or automatically by top-level bookmarks.
- 03
Preview before you commit
Check the outcome in the browser first. Reorder, remove, or re-run with different settings – nothing is final until you press download.
- 04
Download the result
Save the ZIP of split PDFs to your device, share a temporary link, or send it straight to Google Drive or Dropbox. Files are wiped from our servers within one hour.
Why Split PDF
Built to be the last split pdf tool you try.
Splitting by chapter uses the PDF's own outline, so nothing is chopped mid-section.
Pages come out byte-identical to the original – no quality loss, no metadata rewrite.
Uploads travel over TLS, files are encrypted at rest, and every trace is deleted within 60 minutes. We do not read, index, or train on your documents.
The free tier handles most day-to-day work. You only create an account if you want history, larger files, or batch automation.
