Split PDF

Split PDF into separate documents with this PDFAid tool. Open it in your browser on any device, no software installation required.

How to split PDF files

You can upload one file up to 100 MB and split it on this platform. Take the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Upload your file

To split a PDF document, drag it to the Drag & Drop area or click Upload to split and select it on your device. Our tool can process any file type, including text, scanned, and multi-page materials. You'll see the number of pages after adding your PDF.

Step 2: Choose where to split

In the editor, press Go to Split and choose the place to separate PDF pages. You can pick a single page or each one, depending on your needs. Click the Split button in the upper right corner to split the PDF into multiple files.

Step 3: Download your files

When you split a PDF into pages, it will turn into separate files. Download them to your device and continue your paperwork.

When you need to split PDFs

This online separator will help you every time you need only part of a lengthy document. The most common cases are below.

A long report where you need just one chapter

If you have a 200-page report or guide, and your colleague needs only one chapter, you can

divide the PDF into pages. Select the necessary part and cut your document. The rest of it remains unchanged.

A file too large to email

Email services have attachment size requirements, so split a large PDF with this tool to get several smaller files. You can send them separately afterward. Or, use our PDF compressor to reduce your document size.

Sending a client only the pages they asked for

A 40-page proposal is a lot to send when the client only asked for the pricing section. Break the PDF pages and send the requested part to save their time. The pages you didn't send never leave your side, so internal notes stay out of the client's copy.

Scanned pages that arrived as one big file

Scanned documents often arrive as one large PDF, even when you need only a few pages. Separating PDF pages will help you extract the pages you need and save them as a separate file. Check the page thumbnails before splitting to make sure you select the right pages and keep them in the correct order.

Your files keep their original quality

All the characteristics of your original file, including text, fonts, images, and layout, stay as they were before splitting. The tool doesn't rebuild your PDF.

Split a PDF on Windows, Mac, or iPhone

You can split PDF pages with this cross-platform service on any device, from Mac to iPhone. The cutter is available on computers running Windows and Linux, as well as on Android phones and tablets. Since it works in a browser, you won't have to deal with any installations.

Your files stay private and secure

All files are protected from unauthorized viewers and accessible only by you when you need to split a PDF into multiple PDFs. No one else can enter your account. The encrypted connection keeps your documents secure.
