How to split pdf

  1. Drop the PDF.
  2. Type the page ranges you want as separate files.
  3. Press Split and download each part.

What happens to your file

Each range becomes its own PDF containing exactly those pages, in the order you wrote them. Text layers, links and annotations on those pages come along.

Pages you do not name are simply not in any output; the original is never changed.

A range past the last page is refused with the page count, rather than producing an empty file.

Questions

How do I extract a single page?

Type its number as the only range, for example "4". You get one PDF with that page.

Can I split every page into its own file?

Type one range per page: "1, 2, 3, 4". The page count is shown once the file is read, so you know where to stop.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied, not re-rendered.

Can I split an encrypted PDF?

Unlock it first with the Unlock PDF tool; a password-protected file is refused with that message.
