Beginner Guide to Split PDF

Split one PDF into smaller files when you need cleaner sharing, smaller attachments, or separate sections from a longer document.

What this tool is best for

• Sending one page per invoice or form
• Breaking a large handbook into sections
• Creating smaller PDF files for email or uploads

Step-by-step workflow

1. Upload your PDF.
2. Choose whether to split every N pages or by custom ranges.
3. Download the ZIP file that contains your split PDFs.

Best ways to use it

• Set the split value to 1 if you want one PDF per page.
• Use custom ranges like 1-3,4-6,7 for chapters or grouped sections.
• Keep the ZIP file intact until you confirm all split files look correct.

Quality notes

• Split PDF copies the original pages into new files.
• It does not convert pages to images.
• Text and layout stay in their original PDF form.
