Split a PDF into smaller documents
Large PDFs are hard to share and often contain more than the recipient needs. Splitting lets you send only the relevant chapter, invoice or form.
Choose to split every page into its own PDF, define your own ranges, or cut the file every N pages. When several files are created, they’re bundled into one ZIP download. Processing happens in your browser.
