Free Split PDF

Split PDF divides one PDF into several files by page ranges such as 1-3, 4, 5-9, every N pages, or one file per page. You can also click thumbnails to pull chosen pages into a single new PDF. A single result downloads directly, several arrive in a ZIP, and the original file stays unchanged.

How do I write page ranges?

Separate them with commas: “1-3, 4, 5-9” makes three files. “8-” means page 8 to the end and “-3” means pages 1 to 3.
