How to use Split PDF

Separate a large document into smaller PDFs, or share only the pages someone needs. Different split modes suit chapters, individual pages and regular batches.

How to: step-by-step

  1. Select the PDF and confirm its page count.
  2. Choose the split mode: individual pages, ranges, regular groups or selected pages.
  3. Enter the ranges or group size required by that mode, then run the split.
  4. Download the results individually or as a ZIP when offered. Open every part to check its first and last page.

Tips for better results

  • Use the PDF page position, not a page number printed inside the document.
  • Test a short range before splitting a long report.

Common pitfalls

  • A cover page can shift all chapter numbers by one.
  • Downloading a ZIP does not open its PDFs; extract the archive first.

Worked example

Example: a 12-page report contains a cover followed by two sections. To keep the cover with section one, choose ranges 1-6 and 7-12. Each output should contain 6 pages; use PDF positions even if the printed numbering starts after the cover.

Before you finish

Splitting creates new files. Retain the original if you may need different ranges later.
