The Smartest Way to Split PDF Files Online

Sometimes, "too much info" is a real problem. Sending a 500-page report when you only need to share three specific pages is inefficient, unprofessional, and annoying for the recipient. Large files clog inboxes and waste storage space.

PDF Toolkit's Split PDF tool is the solution. Whether you need to extract a single chapter from a book, isolate an invoice from a billing statement, or separate a large contract into individual clauses, our free online tool gives you total control over your documents.

Why Do You Need to Split a PDF?

Dividing a PDF isn't just about reducing file size; it's about better document management. Here are the top scenarios where splitting saves the day:

• Targeted Sharing: Don't send a whole manual. Extract just the instructions relevant to your client or student.
• Confidentiality: Remove sensitive pages (like financial summaries or personal data) before sharing a larger document publicly.
• Organization: Break down massive scanned files (like a year's worth of receipts) into individual monthly or daily records for easier filing.
• Upload Limits: Many government or job portals have strict file size limits. Splitting a document allows you to upload it in chunks if necessary.

How to Split PDF Pages: A Step-by-Step Guide

You don't need Adobe Acrobat Pro to manage your files. Here is how to do it for free:

1. Upload Your PDF: Click "Select PDF File" above or drag your document into the box.
2. Choose Your Method:
   • By Page Ranges: Ideal for extracting specific sections. Enter ranges like "1-5" to keep the first five pages, or "2, 4, 9" to extract specific disjointed pages.
   • Every Page as Separate File: Use this if you want to turn a 10-page document into 10 separate PDF files.
3. Process: Click "Split PDF." The tool will cut the document according to your instructions.
4. Download: Save your new file (or ZIP archive) immediately.

Pro Tip: If you split a file by mistake and need to put it back together, use our Merge PDF Tool to recombine the pages in the correct order.
