Three ways to split

Files are named like original_01_p1-2.pdf with a sequence number and the page range, and you get them all in one ZIP. The line under the settings shows how many files you'll get before you click.

Example

For a 10-page PDF, 1-3, 4-7, 8- gives three files (pages 1–3, 4–7 and 8–10). “Every N pages” with 3 gives four files: 1–3, 4–6, 7–9 and 10. A range beyond the last page is flagged right away.

Quality and privacy

Pages are copied without re-rendering, so text and images keep their original quality. Pages from PDFs with editing restrictions are added as images. Nothing is uploaded — the split happens on your device.

Need just a few pages?

To save selected pages as a single new PDF, use Extract PDF Pages. To drop a few pages and keep the rest, use Delete PDF Pages.

Frequently asked questions

How are pages numbered?

The first page shown in your PDF viewer is page 1. This may differ from page numbers printed on the document.

How do I open the ZIP file?

Windows, macOS, Android and iOS can all open ZIP files without extra software. On iPhone, tap the ZIP in the Files app to extract it.

Does it work with large files?

Yes, even with hundreds of pages, though it can take a while on a phone.
