Step by step

1. 1. Open Split PDF

   Select your PDF in the Split PDF tool and wait for the page previews.

Frequently asked questions

Can I extract just one page?

Yes. Enter its page number, such as 5, then use Extract pages.

Will the original PDF change?

No. The tool creates new files rather than overwriting your original.

Can I split a large document?

Processing speed and practical capacity depend on your device memory and the plan’s file-size limit.

Do I need an account?

Without an account you get 3 free processings on this device; a free account gives you 5 per month, up to 15 MB per file. Premium increases usage and file-size limits and adds cloud storage.
