How to Split a PDF Into Separate Pages

A 40 page contract when only page 12 is needed, or a scanned book when only one chapter is needed, is a common problem. Splitting a PDF solves it without touching the original file.

When splitting makes sense

Splitting helps when sharing a subset of pages without exposing the rest of a document, extracting a single invoice from a batch scanned folder, or breaking a large file into smaller pieces that are easier to email.

Step by step: splitting with our tool

Open the Split PDF tool, upload the file, and choose whether to extract specific page numbers or split every page into its own file. Download the result as one file or a ZIP of individual pages.

Tip: check page numbers first

PDF readers usually show two page numbers: the printed number in the document and the actual PDF page position, which can differ when a cover page or blank pages exist. Always count from the viewer page counter, not the printed number, before entering a range.

Rejoining pages later

To put split pages back together, or combine them with something else, the Merge PDF tool handles that.
