Split PDF

Split a PDF into several files: click between pages where it should be cut, or type page ranges. You get one PDF per part, together in a ZIP. Free, no upload.

Split one PDF into separate page groups

Use Split PDF when a report needs to become several files. Every page appears as a thumbnail with scissors between them: click the scissors where a new file should start, or use Every page or In half. The groups field fills in as you click, and you can type it instead: 1-3, 4-6, 7 creates three outputs. The page numbers refer to positions in the file, starting with the first page as 1.

Cut at chapters or attachments

Look at the thumbnails to see where each section starts before cutting. A printed page number may differ from its file position because of covers or unnumbered front matter. Downloaded outputs follow the order of the groups you enter. Allow multiple downloads if your browser prompts you.

Split versus extract

Split makes a separate PDF for each group. To keep pages 1-3 and 7 together in one output, use Extract Pages instead. The original PDF is preserved, so you can repeat the operation with different ranges without losing the complete document.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF by page range?

Drop a PDF, type page ranges like 1-3, 5, 7-10, and click Split. PaperKit returns one PDF per range.

Can I split every page into its own PDF?

Yes. Type 1,2,3,...,N or use the “each page as a file” option to get one output per page.

Does splitting reduce quality?

No. PaperKit copies the original pages without re-rendering, so the output is identical to the source.
