Split PDF by Page Range

Split a PDF into multiple files, one per page range you specify. Free, private, runs entirely in your browser.

Click to select a PDF file, or drag and drop

Your file never leaves your browser

Page ranges (one output file per range, separated by semicolons)

Each semicolon-separated group becomes its own downloaded PDF. A group can list several pages/ranges with commas, e.g. 1-2,9.


How to Split a PDF by Page Range

  • Upload the PDF you want to split.
  • Enter one or more page ranges, separated by semicolons — e.g. 1-3; 5; 8-10 produces three separate PDF files.
  • Click Split PDF — each range downloads as its own PDF file, one after another.

Example

On a 12-page report, entering 1-3; 4-8; 9-12 downloads three files: pages 1–3 as the first PDF, pages 4–8 as the second, and pages 9–12 as the third — useful for splitting a combined document back into its original sections.

Common Use Cases

  • Breaking a scanned batch of multiple documents back into individual files.
  • Splitting chapters of a book or report into separate PDFs.
  • Dividing a multi-invoice PDF into one file per invoice.

FAQ

  • What happens with just one range? You get a single downloaded PDF containing only those pages — equivalent to extracting pages.
  • Why do the files download one after another instead of as a zip? This tool downloads each split file directly as soon as it's ready, so you don't need to unzip anything afterward. Your browser may ask to allow multiple downloads the first time — allow it to receive every file.
  • Can a group inside a range include multiple pieces? Yes — within a semicolon-separated group you can combine commas and dashes, e.g. 1-2,9 as one group produces a single PDF with pages 1, 2, and 9.
  • Is my file uploaded anywhere? No — splitting happens entirely in your browser; the PDF is never sent to a server.
