PDF Workspace
Break one large PDF into the individual files you actually need.
No files yet — add PDF files on the left and they’ll appear here.
A 200-page PDF is rarely what you actually want to share — usually it is three pages of it. Split PDF lets you pull out exact page ranges or break a document into one file per page, without touching the original's formatting. It is built for the moment you need to send someone chapter 4 of a report, not the whole thing, or break a scanned bundle of receipts back into individual documents. Everything runs in the browser, the split files download as a zip or individually, and nothing lingers on our servers past 24 hours unless you save it.
Drop in the file you want to break apart.
Select page ranges, or split every page into its own file.
Get your split files individually or bundled as a zip.
| Mode | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| By page range, e.g. 1-3, 5, 7-9 | One file for each range you type | Sending one chapter or section |
| Every page | One PDF per page, bundled in a single ZIP | Breaking a scanned bundle back into separate documents |
Each resulting file is an exact copy of the original pages — nothing is re-rendered.
Pull one chapter out of a textbook or report to send separately.
Split a multi-document scan back into its original separate files.
Extract just the signed page of a contract for your records.
Page ceilings, daily limits and ZIP downloads side by side.
