How Split PDF works

To split a PDF, choose one document, enter the exact pages or ranges you want, and create separate PDF files in your browser.

Extract exact pages or page ranges from a PDF and create separate PDF documents in one local operation.

Split PDF cuts one long document into the parts you actually need. Type page ranges such as 1-3, 5 and 8-10 and each range becomes its own PDF, which is handy for sending one chapter, pulling a single invoice out of a statement bundle, or breaking a scanned packet into separate forms. The original file is never altered, and pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays sharp.

Step by step

  1. 1Choose a PDF.
  2. 2Enter the pages or ranges you want to extract.
  3. 3Process the file, review the result, and download the outputs.

Common uses

  • Extract one chapter from a report
  • Separate an application into individual documents

Details and common questions

Which files are supported?

One PDF and comma-separated page ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-10.

What result will I receive?

A separate PDF for every requested range.

What should I know before using it?
  • Ranges must refer to pages that exist in the document.
  • Password-protected or corrupt files cannot be processed.
  • This focused workflow does not rearrange pages before splitting.
Can ranges overlap?

Yes. A source page may appear in more than one requested output range.

Does splitting lower PDF quality?

Pages are copied into new PDFs rather than intentionally rasterized by the split operation.

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?

Enter each page as its own range, for example 1, 2, 3, and PDF Eye creates one file per range. To keep several pages together, enter them as a range like 1-3.

What is the difference between splitting and extracting pages?

They use the same engine. Split is for dividing a whole document into parts, while Extract Pages is for pulling out a few pages you want to keep.
