How to split a PDF
- Tap Choose file and pick your PDF. The number of pages is shown.
- Choose how to split: Extract page range into one PDF, Every page as separate PDF, or Split every N pages.
- For a range, type pages such as 1-3, 7. For parts, type how many pages each part should have.
- Press the button and download. Several files come together in one ZIP.
Three ways to split
- Page range: pull pages 2 to 5 out of a 40-page file to send only the part that matters.
- Every page: turn a 10-page scan into 10 single-page PDFs, handy when a portal wants each certificate separately.
- Every N pages: cut a long book or report into parts of 20 pages each to email them one by one.
Safe for private documents
Splitting happens inside your own browser. Your file is not uploaded to our server, so Aadhaar copies, marksheets, bank statements and office papers stay on your phone or computer. There is no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark, and it works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac.
When people split PDFs
Exam and admission portals often ask for the marksheet, caste certificate and ID proof as separate uploads, but phone scanner apps put them all in one PDF. Splitting lets you upload each document in the right box. Offices split long contracts to send one section for signature, and students split textbooks into chapters that open faster on a phone.
