Split PDF
100% PrivatePDF & Document ToolsSplit a PDF into separate files, one for each page range you specify.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
Each comma-separated range becomes one PDF inside the ZIP.
- 1Choose the PDF to split.
- 2Pick a split mode: by page ranges, or every page as its own file.
- 3For ranges, type them like 1-3, 4-6, 7, where each part becomes one PDF.
- 4Press Split PDF, then download the ZIP and unzip it on your device.
Choose a 7-page report, keep the ranges mode, and type 1-3, 4-6, 7. The ZIP you download contains three PDFs: pages 1 to 3 (3 pages), pages 4 to 6 (3 pages) and page 7 on its own (1 page), named after the original file plus their page ranges.
- Ranges must exist in the document; asking for page 12 of a 7-page file gives a clear error, not a broken file.
- Password-protected or corrupt PDFs cannot be split and are reported before anything is built.
- Splitting copies pages without re-rendering them, so quality and searchable text are preserved.
Yes. Ranges may overlap, for example 1-3, 2-3, and each output file gets its own copy of those pages.
About this tool
Split PDF pulls a document apart into separate files, one for each page range you specify, delivered as a single ZIP download. It is the quick way to send someone only the chapters, invoices or signed pages they need instead of the whole document.
