How to split a PDF
Separate PDF pages into new files in three steps.
Add the PDF to split
Drop a PDF on the box or choose it from your device. Every page appears as a numbered thumbnail you can open.
Choose where to split
Click the scissors between two pages, split every few pages or at bookmarks, or choose pages from the PDF.
Split and download
Press Split. Each part becomes its own PDF; download the files one at a time or all together in a ZIP.
Split a PDF into multiple files
A year of bank statements, a scanned stack of forms or a course pack with ten chapters is easier to share in parts. Splitting divides the PDF into pages or groups of pages, so each reader gets only the part meant for them.
Every page is copied as it is: text stays selectable, scans keep their full resolution and each page keeps its size and orientation. A part holds only its own pages, so it is usually far smaller than the original.
Split at bookmarks to get one file per chapter, named after the chapter. Bookmarks, links between pages and fillable form fields from the original may not carry over into the new files.
PDF too large to email? Split it by size
Gmail stops at 25 MB per message, Outlook at 20 MB, and many upload forms take 2 to 10 MB. Choose By size, type the largest file you can send and the PDF is split into as few parts as possible, each under that limit.
Pages stay whole and in order, and nothing is compressed. A single page larger than the limit gets a file of its own and you are told which one, so you can compress that part or send it another way.
