When to split, and how to choose pages
Splitting helps when a portal limits file size or page count, when only part of a document should go to someone, or when a scanner saved a whole stack of papers as one file.
- Custom ranges create one file for each range you enter, which is handy for separating statements by month or chapters of a report.
- Equal parts divides a long document into chunks of the same length.
- One file per page is quickest when every page is its own document, like a batch of scanned receipts.
Want certain pages in a single new file instead of many files? Use Extract pages. To drop pages for good, use Remove pages.
Split PDF: frequently asked questions
Can I split a PDF into single pages?
Yes. Choose the “every page” option and each page becomes its own PDF, delivered together in one ZIP file.
How do I write page ranges?
Use commas and hyphens, for example “1-3, 5, 8-10”. Each range becomes a separate PDF file.
Does splitting change the content?
No. Pages are copied without re-encoding, so text, links and image quality stay exactly the same.
