How to split a PDF into separate pages or smaller files
Pull out pages, break a long PDF into chapters, or cut it into email-sized parts — by range, every N pages, bookmarks, size or a phrase.
Quick answer
Open Split PDF, pick a mode (ranges, every N pages, single pages, size, halves, phrase or bookmark) and download the parts as a ZIP.
Choose the right mode
| You want to… | Use |
|---|---|
| Take pages 3 to 7 | Ranges: 3-7 |
| Make equal chunks | Every N pages |
| One file per page | Single pages |
| Fit an email limit | By size |
| Split a long report by chapter | By bookmark |
| Cut where a heading appears | By phrase |
After splitting you can recombine in a new order with Merge PDF, or shrink the parts with Compress PDF.
