How to split a PDF

  1. Add the PDF you want to split.
  2. Choose a split mode (see below).
  3. Check the list of files that will be created, then select Split PDF.

Split modes

Custom ranges
Each comma-separated range becomes one file. 1-3, 5, 8- gives three files: pages 1–3, page 5, and page 8 to the end.
Every N pages
Cuts the document into equal chunks, for example every 2 pages. The last file may be shorter.
One file per page
Saves every page as its own PDF.

Files are named after the original and their pages, such as contract-pages-01-03.pdf. Several files are bundled into one ZIP, like contract-split.zip.

Questions

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are, with their original text, images and fonts. Nothing is re-compressed.

Why is each part nearly as big as the original?

Pages often share fonts and images, and every part needs its own copy of the ones it uses. A single page can still carry a full embedded font.

Can a page go into more than one file?

Yes. Ranges may overlap, for example 1-5, 5-10.
