Split PDF Online

Break a PDF into smaller files by page range, or save every page as its own PDF. Choose your file, enter the ranges and download. Your PDF is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to Fileswin.

How to split a PDF into separate files

1. Choose your PDF. The page count appears under the file box.
2. Pick Page ranges and type ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 4-6, 7. Or pick Every page into its own file.
3. Press Split and download. Each part downloads as a separate PDF.
4. If your browser asks to allow multiple downloads, choose Allow.

Split a PDF by page range

Each comma-separated range becomes one new PDF. With a 10-page document, 1-5, 6-10 gives two files of five pages, and 1-3, 4, 5-10 gives three files. Parts are named after your original file, for example report-part1.pdf.

Split every page into its own file

Choose Every page into its own file to get one PDF per page. Browsers treat many downloads in a row with caution, so this mode is limited to 100 files at once. For larger documents, split in stages by page range.

Split, extract or delete pages: which tool?

Use split when you want several files. Use extract pages when you want one new file made from selected pages, which also lets you reorder them. Use delete pages when you want the same document minus some pages. To go the other way, merge PDFs back into one file.

Why split a PDF?

Common reasons are staying under an email or upload size limit, sending one chapter or one invoice from a long document, or separating a scanned batch into individual files. Parts are roughly as large as the pages they contain, although shared items such as fonts are repeated in each part.

If the PDF will not load

Password-protected and damaged PDFs cannot be read. Remove the protection first, if you are allowed to, and save a fresh copy. Bookmarks and links between pages may not carry over into the parts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I split a PDF into separate pages?

Choose your file, set Split by to Every page into its own file and press Split and download.

How do I split a PDF into two parts?

Enter two ranges that cover your pages. For a 10-page PDF, type 1-5, 6-10.

Why does my browser ask to allow multiple downloads?

Each part is saved as a separate file, and browsers ask before letting a page download several files at once. Allowing it lets all parts save.

Will splitting make my PDF smaller?

Each part is smaller than the whole, roughly in proportion to its pages. Fonts and shared images are repeated in every part, so the parts together can be a little larger than the original.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. It is split on your device using the open-source pdf-lib library.
