How to split a PDF into separate files

Splitting a PDF is useful when you only need a chapter, want to separate scanned documents, or need to send one section without the rest.

Split by range

1. Open Split PDF.
2. Drop in your file.
3. Enter ranges like 1-3,5,8-10 — each becomes its own PDF.
4. Leave the box blank to split every page into a separate file.

Just need a few pages?

If you only want to keep certain pages in one file, Extract Pages is simpler. To delete unwanted pages instead, use Remove Pages. For a visual drag-and-drop approach, try Organize PDF.
