Split a PDF into separate pages or files

Need each page as its own file, or just chapters 1–3? Extract any single page, a continuous range, or a custom set like 1-3, 5, 8, and each export becomes its own PDF. Run the tool a few times to break one document into as many separate files as you need.

Split PDFs on any device, without Adobe

There's no separate Mac, Windows, or mobile app and no Adobe Acrobat required — the splitter runs in the browser, so the same steps work on a laptop or a phone, free and with nothing uploaded.
