How to Split a PDF into Separate Files

By Daniel · Updated July 2026

A big PDF is often several documents wearing a trench coat. You scanned a stack of paperwork into one file and now need to send just the invoice. Or a report has an appendix you want to share on its own. Splitting lets you pull out exactly the pages you need and leave the rest.

How to split a PDF

  1. Open the PDF Splitter and drop your file in.
  2. Choose how you want to split it — into single pages, or at set intervals.
  3. Download the resulting files.

If what you actually want is to grab a handful of specific pages — say pages 3, 4 and 9 — the visual workspace in PDF Studio is often easier: tick those pages and use Extract selected. Same result, whichever fits how you think.

Everything happens in your browser, so a document with anything sensitive in it never gets uploaded.
