Three ways to split a PDF

Cut where you choose, cut at a fixed interval, or separate every page - whichever matches the document.

Split at the pages you pick

Place a marker between any two pages and the document is cut there. This is the mode for a file with a natural structure - chapters, sections, a batch of scans that belong to different records.

Split every few pages

Give an interval and the document is cut at that spacing throughout. Useful for anything uniform, such as double-sided scans or a run of identical forms.

Split every page

Separate the document into one file per page in a single action, then reset if you change your mind before running it.

Extract pages from a PDF

The most common reason to split a PDF is that you only need part of it. A single chapter, one invoice out of a monthly batch, the signed page of a contract - all of them are faster to pull out than to send in full, and safer when the rest of the document is not meant for the recipient.

Place your cuts where the document actually divides, run the split, and download the pieces. The original is untouched, so nothing is lost if the first attempt is not the split you wanted.

Each part is saved as its own PDF

Split a PDF at a fixed interval

Some documents have no visible structure at all, just a long uniform run of pages. Scanned double-sided paperwork, a stack of forms, a printout of many identical records: for those, cutting every few pages is quicker than placing markers one at a time.

Set the interval and the split repeats through the whole file. Splitting every single page is available as its own one-click action when that is what you need.

Split PDFs in the browser, on any device

Nothing is installed. The splitter runs in a browser tab, so the same page works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS - including on a machine where you cannot install software.

Upload from your device, from a link or from cloud storage, up to 50 MB without an account.

Your document stays yours

Rearranging a document usually means the document matters. These are the guarantees that come with it.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Everything moves over TLS with modern ciphers, and personal data is held in encrypted storage.

Automated, with nobody watching

No person opens your PDF. The work is done by software, no copies are taken, and no backup of a user file is kept.

Frequently asked questions about splitting PDFs

Is it free to split a PDF?

Yes. Split PDF is free and needs no account. Files up to 50 MB can be split without registering, and a free account or a paid plan raises that limit.

How do I extract a single page from a PDF?

Place a cut before and after the page you want and run the split; the page comes out as its own file. If you need every page separately, use the split-every-page action instead.

Can I split a PDF every few pages?

Yes, with a free account. Choose the interval mode and enter how many pages each piece should contain, and the cut repeats through the whole document.

Does splitting a PDF change the quality?

No. Splitting copies the existing pages into new documents rather than re-encoding them, so text stays selectable and images are unchanged.

Is it safe to split a PDF online?

Yes. The connection is encrypted, the work is done by software rather than by people, and no backup of a user file is kept. You keep the ownership and the copyright of the document, and the service is run by QaamGo Web GmbH, a German company, under the GDPR.
