Every page: The most common use case. Every page in the PDF becomes its own file, named sequentially (document_page_001.pdf, document_page_002.pdf, etc.). All files are bundled into a ZIP.
Custom ranges: Define exactly which page groups you want. Enter ranges as comma-separated values: a single page number (e.g. 5), a page range (e.g. 1-3), or a mix (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-12). Each group becomes one PDF. This is ideal for splitting a combined document into its constituent chapters, sections, or reports.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a PDF into individual pages?
Drop your PDF onto the tool, choose 'Every page' mode, and click Split. Each page is exported as its own PDF file and the entire set is bundled into a ZIP archive for download.
How do I split by custom ranges?
Select 'Custom ranges' mode and enter your ranges in the text field using the format: 1-3, 5, 7-10. Each range (or single page number) becomes one PDF file. For example, entering '1-3, 5, 7-10' produces 3 PDFs: pages 1-3, page 5, and pages 7-10.
Does splitting preserve image quality and fonts?
Yes. Splitting uses pdf-lib to copy page streams directly without re-encoding. All images, fonts, annotations, and vector graphics in each page remain exactly as they were in the original PDF.
Is there a page count limit?
No hard limit. The tool runs entirely in your browser so very large PDFs will simply take longer. A 200-page PDF typically splits in under 10 seconds on a modern device.
