Split a PDF
Pull out a page range, or split every page into its own file. Nothing leaves your device.
Range split vs. every-page-as-its-own-file
Splitting by page range (e.g. pages 1-5 into one file, 6-10 into another) is for pulling out specific sections of a larger document. Splitting every page into its own file (delivered as a zip) is for the opposite case — a scanned batch of separate documents that happened to be combined into one PDF, where each page genuinely is its own document. Picking the right mode depends entirely on whether you're extracting a section or truly separating a batch.
Range syntax that actually works
Ranges accept comma-separated values and open-ended ranges: 1-3,5,8- means pages 1 through 3, page 5, and page 8 through the end of the document — useful when you don't know or don't want to count the exact final page number.
What's the difference between splitting by range and splitting every page?
Range split extracts specific page groups into one or more new files — useful for pulling out a section. Splitting every page produces one file per page (delivered as a zip) — useful when a batch of genuinely separate documents got combined into a single PDF and needs to be un-combined.
How do I specify an open-ended page range?
Use a trailing dash: 8- means page 8 through the last page of the document, without needing to know or type the exact final page number. Combine with commas for multiple ranges, e.g. 1-3,8-.
Does splitting affect the quality or content of the pages?
No — each output page is identical to the corresponding page in the source document, just distributed into new file(s) instead of one combined file. Nothing about the page content itself changes.
