# Split PDF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Break a PDF into smaller documents using one of six splitting modes. From simple page ranges to bookmark-based splitting, this tool handles every scenario for dividing a document.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload a single PDF file.
|
||
|
|
2. Choose a split mode from the dropdown.
|
||
|
|
3. Configure the mode-specific options (page ranges, selections, etc.).
|
||
|
|
4. Click the process button.
|
||
|
|
5. The result downloads as a single PDF or a ZIP archive depending on the mode and settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Split Modes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Mode | Description |
|
||
|
|
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
|
|
| **Range** | Enter page ranges like `1-3, 5, 8-10`. Multiple ranges produce separate PDFs in a ZIP. A single range produces one PDF. |
|
||
|
|
| **Visual Select** | Browse page thumbnails and click to select the pages you want. Selected pages are extracted into a new PDF. |
|
||
|
|
| **Even / Odd** | Extract only even-numbered or odd-numbered pages. |
|
||
|
|
| **All Pages** | Split every page into its own individual PDF file, downloaded as a ZIP. |
|
||
|
|
| **Bookmarks** | Split at bookmark boundaries. Choose the bookmark level to control where splits occur. |
|
||
|
|
| **Every N Pages** | Split into chunks of N pages each (e.g., every 5 pages). The last chunk may have fewer pages. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features

|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Extracting a specific chapter or section from a large document
|
||
|
|
- Separating odd and even pages for double-sided printing workflows
|
||
|
|
- Breaking a book PDF into individual chapter files at bookmark boundaries
|
||
|
|
- Isolating specific pages (like a signature page) from a contract
|
||
|
|
- Splitting a compiled report into per-section files for distribution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Multiple page ranges separated by commas (e.g., `1-5, 10-15, 20-25`) produce separate PDFs, one per range, bundled in a ZIP.
|
||
|
|
- The bookmark split mode requires the PDF to actually contain bookmarks. If none are found, you will get an error message.
|
||
|
|
- The "Download as ZIP" checkbox in Range and Visual modes lets you get individual PDFs per page instead of a combined file.
