About Split PDF

A large PDF can be difficult to manage when you only need a few pages. Our split PDF tool helps you separate a PDF document into smaller files quickly and easily. You can split PDF pages, select the pages you need, and create separate PDF documents without manually copying or recreating the content. If you need to divide PDF into pages, extract selected sections, or separate a large document, this tool works as a PDF separator and PDF divider, and you can split PDF online free directly from your browser.

Good to know before you start

  • Page ranges are written with numbers, dashes and commas — for example 1-3, 7, 10-12.
  • Splitting copies pages as they are; it cannot cut a single page in half.
  • A password-protected PDF has to be opened with Unlock PDF first; encrypted files cannot be read directly.
