Split PDF

About This Tool

Split one PDF into separate documents — extract a single chapter, pull out specific pages, or cut a 60-page scan into per-page files. All processing is local, so confidential reports, medical results and contracts stay on your machine. You choose visually which pages go where: keep ranges, extract selections, or burst every page into its own file.

How to Use This Tool

1. Drop the PDF — a page grid with thumbnails loads instantly.
2. Click pages to select them (shift-click for ranges), or type ranges like 1-5, 8, 12-14.
3. Choose the split mode: Extract selected pages as one PDF, or Burst all pages to separate files.
4. Split and download — Burst results arrive as a ZIP named after the source document.
5. Verify the new page counts shown in the completion summary.

Advantages & Use Cases

Send only the relevant 6 pages of a 40-page report to a client, extract your signature pages from a countersigned contract for records, or break a combined monthly statement into per-invoice files for bookkeeping automation.

Supported Formats & Recommendations

• Extracted pages keep their original quality — no re-compression happens during splitting.
• Burst produces one PDF per page; re-merge subsets later with Merge PDF if needed.
• Forms and annotations travel with their page; flattened forms stay flattened.

How We Test This Tool

Testing splits a 24-page PDF with mixed orientations and embedded fonts: extracted ranges must contain exactly the requested pages, fonts must render identically in the output, page rotation survives, and Burst ZIP contents match the page count one-to-one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Splitting copies whole pages into new containers — pixels, vectors and fonts are untouched.

Can I split a password-protected PDF?

Only if you can open it without a password (owner-password-only files usually split fine). If the PDF demands a password to view, remove it legally in your PDF reader first.

How do I split every 10 pages into chapters?

Run Extract three times with ranges 1-10, 11-20, 21-30 — or Burst everything and merge groups back with Merge PDF for uneven chapters.
